Future College Sports Games - Able to profit of likeness?

[sin44]

Hey Gary - with the recent approval for college athletes to make money off their likeness, will this be programmed into future games for both Football and College Basketball?

It will be interesting to see how these student athletes take advantage of their marketability.

Since the college game doesn't use real players it's not an issue.

well at the very least, I guess illegal recruiting goes away in college basketball games?

Could be cool if there were more news items/bits of info about high ranking players signing with esteemed brands of different varieties (obviously either unnamed ie. 'Top soft drinks company' or fictitiously named).

Also, I'd seen some discussions about if these changes will affect players likelihood to declare early in real life, do we think that is a factor and would something like that be taken into account should this element be incorporated into the game in anyway?

yeah this is going to be a big thing. FIFA have to pay a lot to use players/teams likeness and some players might not allow it.

This is going to help big market teams like Knicks and Chicago gain parity.
