After 7 long years, NCAA Football is finally coming back. The last edition came out in 2014, but the series was discontinued after a group of players raised a class action lawsuit against EA for the unauthorized use of their likenesses.

This time around, EA will be careful to avoid any such problems. The game, which is still in the very early stages of development, will not feature the real name, image or likeness of any player.

The release date is currently unknown, although it is likely we won’t be seeing it until next year.

Regardless, players, teams, and fans didn’t hesitate to take their excitement to social media. Of course, when you deprive a passionate fanbase of something they desire this badly, this type of reaction was expected.

However, the pressure is on now for EA. After a couple years of disappointing Madden games, fans are expecting something better, and the anticipation and expectation for NCAA game couldn’t be any higher.
