When EA Sports released their last college football video game- NCAA Football 14 – in 2013, the beloved franchise was firing on all cylinders with every FBS team and former college legend likenesses included within the game. When it all came to a halt, we missed out on gamebreaking players like Louisville alum Lamar Jackson and his big inclusion and possible opportunity of cover athlete.
This is the opportunity that Louisville fans were all robbed of in Jackson’s golden years as a Cardinal. In the game, he would have likely been one of the highest rated players and as insanely overpowered as Michael Vick in EA’s “Madden 2004” when Vick was the most dreaded player you could ever come across playing against.
