So you think players should be able to sue if EA doesn't use their name or likeness if the player opts out? The article already said that if a player opts out, EA will use a generic player with stats based on the past 10 years of performance from that school at that position. Unless you believe that there has only been one player at a particular position in the history of that school, there's no lawsuit here.

The only way EA will get away with it this time around is to go completely 100% generic.

Either all players are in or none. All or nothing.

Just wait until Shedeur Sanders turns down the deal and EA trots out Colorado QB#99

What’s the problem there? That’s up to Sanders, either he accepts the deal or he doesn’t.

EA will block users from creating players not licensed for the game.

This will lead to the end of roster creation in all of their games.
