EA is finally paying college football players to participate in its new college football video games. It’s also paying NFL players.
Via Jordan Mendoza USA todayEA has reached an agreement with the NFL Players Association to allow current NFL players to be included in the game.
Current NFL players like former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be part of the ultimate team mode included in the new game. Other former college players now retired from football are included.
Ultimate Team has been an important part of the Madden NFL franchise for several years. It allows users to create and update teams with current and former NFL players, slowly turning the team into a juggernaut. . . unless the next version of the game comes out and you start all over again with a 59 rated team.
The college version of Ultimate Team could be even more robust as it adds current college players into the mix with former college players now in the NFL and retired NFL players.
