Electronic Arts recently announced they will not publish a college football game next year. EA’s GM of American Football Cam Weber revealed the news in a blog post on the subject, saying the company was evaluating their plan for the future of the franchise.

Yeah... that franchise has been stale for a while... Hopefully someone else will take it over with the next gen systems coming out

The franchise has been stagnant for a number of years. The only real changes have been tweeks to the Dynasty portion of the game.

I'd like to see 2K Sports develop a college football game franchise. I think EA like many of their games just basically tweeks a few things and keeps rolling out the same game year in and year out. These games are a big money train for them.

The other side of the coin is why mess with something that is so popular and is truly a great product? Changing the game doesn't necessarily keep it fresh if you overdo it. Plus, the game did change as it adapted yearly to changing rosters of teams. To me, this was the most fun.

Keep selling 2013 with names removed and user tweak ability enabled.

The 2013 license is paid for.

There are no names

School names.

They need to be removed to get around the NCAA. EA has already paid for stadium renderings.

NCAA Football 14 is one of the best in recent years. Just keep playing this one and download updated rosters next year from OperationSports.

Does EA still have the testing lab in BR? Lots of minimum wage jobs may be cut.....
