There’s good news and bad news for fans desperate to play EA Sports’ new college football video game scheduled to release next summer. We’ll start with the bad.
A temporary restraining order has been filed by The Brandr Group that, if granted, would prohibit EA Sports from offering deals to schools and athletes. This comes after the video game company contracted OneTeam Partners to facilitate college athletes’ likeness with a cash pool of $5 million, sources tell On3’s Pete Nakos, resulting in $500 per player — with no royalties.
