EA Sports facing litigation from NCAA football players

I wasn't stating that Michigan cost the school money, but stadiums of that size and stature do. I'm sure there are a number of programs out there which provide some kind of income for the school (USC, Michigan, Ohio State) but of the 100 something D I and D I AA programs, by and large most of them cost their universities a nice dollar each season.

Another thing many of you are missing here: Most football programs COST schools money each year, instead of making the school money. There's a lot of overhead to be had. Staff, facilities (c'mon, you think stadiums like michigan which hold 130,000 people come for free?), INSURANCE, etc....

I see where he is coming from here, I really do.

Why should a company make money of your likeness without you getting a part in it? Granted, I would expect HIM to receive funds, but perhaps throw something towards the football programs from which they are using.

Because in all honesty, how many people would buy/play a college football game if the players looked/played nothing like their real life counter-parts?

They are doing something right. Anyone who claims that the video game industry is not a booming market must be out of their minds.

How many other industries can you think of where ONE company pulled in 18.5 BILLION dollars in a recession/depression like this?

Famous movie scenes recreated using game development tools

Well there is a PC game out from Westwood studios which was released in 97' I believe. It was a point and click adventure game for the most part. I pulled it out again about a year ago and still greatly enjoyed it. A bit dated, but certainly enjoyable.

Video: Comparing filter options for Marvel vs. Capcom 2

This game was insane on the creamcast. I still have my DC plugged in just so I can play this bad boy. I have no problem shelling out a few more bones to play this in all of its HD glory and online.

BTW, anyone every play the arcarde version? The difficulty is RAGING in that game. I tore this game up and down on the DC version, but in the arcade, you are lucky to get a punch in.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 coming to XBLA and PSN this summer, PS3 demo this week

Hands down, the best fighting game of all time. In fact, I still have my dreamcast plugged in with the game sitting in the disc tray because I still play it to this day.

I have no problem forking over a couple of bucks for this game to have improved graphics and online support. I've been waiting for this for a long time. SF II HD Turbo was great, but this is going to be insane.
