Lawsuit Could Change EA's Relationship with NCAA |
|
| |
As former college athletes sign up to take legal action against EA for apparently using their "likeness" in a videogame without their consent, Gamespy reports on how those athletes have won round 1 of the dispute - albeit a small moral victory - in a story that has the potential to change future college sports videogames.
"EA and the NCAA sought to have the cases [brought against them by several college athletes], which presiding U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken combined into one suit, dismissed. They argued that O'Bannon and other NCAA athletes forfeit their commercial rights when they sign a release permitting the association to use their images in promotional activities. Judge Wilken denied the motion yesterday, forcing EA and the NCAA to prove they don't use the likenesses of college athletes in games." |

|
| |
A report on Gameinformer appears to confirm that EA has chosen to end the NCAA Basketball videogame series following disappointing sales of NCAA Basketball 10. At least for the time being as it is absent from its 2011 lineup of scheduled releases. GI quotes EA Sports senior director of communications David Tinson with the following comments : "We do not have an NCAA Basketball game in development at this time, and we're currently reviewing the future of our NCAA Basketball business. This was a difficult decision, but we remain a committed partner to the NCAA and its member institutions." |
