EA Litigation Details Payment Plans to Plaintiffs in Football Monopoly suit

Last summer, EA finally settled the $27 million dollar lawsuit that states that it's exclusive licenses of NCAA Football and Madden created a monopoly. Now, people willing to become plaintiffs in the lawsuit have recently received an email detailing exactly what they need to do in order to get back cash for what are now legally looked at as 'overpriced' games.

Set NCAA and Madden free! EA sucks at it!

sinjonezp4027d ago

I believe 2K can make a college football game now. The question is will they allocate resources to do so. I hope they do for the nextbox and ps4. Plus 2K brings there titles to PC. With the mod community, a PC football game would be a doorway for great content. The things I have seen the community do with NBA 2k13 is astounding.

It's amazing how a game from 2004 will still be better than this years up coming Madden. This is what happens when competition ceases to exist.

JeromeNtheHouse4027d ago

Yea hell yea! 2K5 was no joke man. A lot of the features EA/Madden RECENTLY added were already in 2K5. That game was waayyy ahead of its time...or right on time.

They still got the servers up and running for 2K5, or did they finally shut em down?

andjudunno4027d ago

Not a day goes by that I don't think of how great the nfl 2k games would be during these times... I still play All Pro 2k9 :/

AkatsukiPain4027d ago

I bet if u let sony create a nfl or ncaa game they can make it better. Just look how great MLB The Show is compared to every other baseball game. Sony would bring these games to life.

BLKxSEPTEMBER4027d ago

Didn't 989 studios create gameday? Wasn't that a first party studio? If so then Sony sucks at making football games. Gameday was so broken with all the Bs u could get away with

I was amazing on the PSOne. They lost the magic on the PS2 and ceased to exist.

The Show is a terrible game.

I was upset with 2k13 so I bought the show. While during pitching I noticed that the batter could hit the ball even though the ball would appear to have gone past the plate and into the glove. When I watched the replay, I noticed the ball actually STOPS right over the plate and kind of hovers there for a second, allowing the batter the little bit of extra time to hit the ball.

I am not sure if I have it set up in a settings or if that is pre-set for online but having the ball actually stop right over the plate for a brief moment giving the batter that extra moment to hit the ball is about as far away as a baseball sim as you can get.

I have gone back to 2k13. Even though it's a carbon copy of 2K12 and has more bugs and the graphics are less superior, the gameplay and fluidity of the game is by far more superior to the show.

I was greatly disappointed with the show.

If you own the show, watch a replay of a pitch crossing the plate, you will see the odd float the ball does over the plate.

I would like 2K to get the Football license again as we have seen no competition is a bad thing for games. I think that 1st parties should also have the rights to make their own licensed sports titles like Sony with MLB.

dcbronco4027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

I don't get any money because I realized Madden sucked way back in '97. I have bought one copy since. Well two. I bought the one after the broncos won the SB because I thought they would finally get a fair shake. Wrong. I returned it for a PC copy that was actually better. And again in 200 or '01 because they let you design your own plays. I did love that. Rarely played a game, just designed plays.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing696h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker6h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos12h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto11h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8811h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
