EA used his likeness without his permission and that goes against a lot of rules plain and simple. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Reed1417, it was good dialogue. I see and understand your point as well and have since relaxed my view of the situation. NCAA is gone, and I just don't want Madden to end up in a vault someplace. I need my outlet !

We aren't going to lose Madden. It's going to stay like it is. You won't see anymore legend teams just certain legend players that EA can get the approval for likenesses. The reason we lost NCAA was because EA would've had to pay every single college for ball player. So the two situations are like comparing a Granny Smith apple and a regular red apple. Yea the cases are similar but the impact on sports gaming is completely different.

Nicely put, thanks...

I want to sue EA for not using my likeness in MVP Baseball 2005! How do they leave me off? That was my one chance to be in a video game and they put a generic guy as the 25th man.

Still mad about it obviously...

This makes me want to create a roster full of Jim Browns out of spite.

When did they use his likeness?

Back in like '08 or so. Whenever they had the classic teams in the game.

Fortunately, there are still dozens of historic teams and hundreds of historic players in the roster download section thanks to the many talented roster editing guys on here like l8knight1, Johnecool, Playmakers, and Iteachpercussion among others. Now that the editing has opened up a bit, who knows what you'll see in 17...

You can use the 65 Browns and run Jim straight into Butkus if you wish!
