Video game giant Electronic Arts (EA) recently confirmed that it is developing a new college football game, despite the challenges posed by licensing issues. The news was announced at the company’s annual EA Play event, where the company also revealed a number of new titles in its popular sports franchises.

The new college football game will be the first of its kind since 2013, when EA released NCAA Football 14. Since then, the company has been unable to secure the necessary licenses to create a new version of the game due to legal issues surrounding the use of college athletes’ names and likenesses.

Despite the challenges posed by licensing issues, EA is confident that it can create a successful college football game. The company has already secured some of the necessary licenses, and is working with the Collegiate Licensing Company to secure the remaining ones. In addition, EA has stated that it will not use any college athletes’ names or likenesses in the game, which should help to avoid any legal issues.

EA has yet to reveal any details about the new college football game, such as its title or release date. However, the company has stated that it will feature “dynamic and immersive experiences” that will capture the excitement of college football.

The development of a new college football game is sure to be welcomed by fans of the sport, who have been without a new game for nearly seven years. It remains to be seen whether EA will be able to overcome the licensing issues and create a successful game, but the company’s confidence suggests that it is confident in its ability to do so.
