This has to be coming back right? Now that players can make money off their likeness. Dam u danny for reminding me of this.
Yeh I get the principle involved in the argument but **** you Ed O’Bannon. It’s not our fault you were a NBA bust. I knew dudes who just thought it was cool being on the game and that was enough for them. They weren’t offended because they didn’t make $1.25 on their likeness. They just liked being immortalized on the most successful sports video game franchise that’s ever been around.
I’m all for it. I mean there are only a handful of players that would actually make serious money on their likeness. Those are the guys up for the Heisman. Everyone might make some pocket change but most of these athletes get that. That’s why they just enjoyed having a player with their same skin tone and jersey number and may or may not get offended at their skill ratings. All this other pearl clutching about payment from a video game is totally overblown. Ed O’Bannon and his cronies are just huge pieces of shit.Can we just send free games to the players or something?
Let the players check a box to see if they want to be in the game
