That is one of the flaws. Another one too...Auburn's blue pants?
Wonder if this is a real change at *U?

None that I see but the barn boards are in a tizzy about EA changing their pants to blue. They are "offended by the arrogance and disrespect" of EA in doing so.Has anyone seen the pictures?

Trent's guns are not near as big as they are in real life either. Congrats Mark. The script A on the gloves is becoming an iconic symbol and hope someone continues Mark's tradition.That is one of the flaws. Another one too...

I'm pretty sure the cover athlete gets compensated...because it is actually him being featured on the cover...not his likeness used in the game. Also as others have said...they only use players who are no longer eligible to play their sport either because of graduating or declaring to go pro. So it would be my understanding that EA has a contract with MI to have him on the cover.Mark wont get anything.

It's an ongoing legal battle dating back to around 2009 I believe. It was started by players who are washed up/never panned out. Ed O'Bannon (UCLA BBall player) Sam Keller (ASU QB) and Ryan Hart (Rutgers QB)
Not that Mark needs the money form this, he's about to make a ton in other endorsements/contracts. I do tend to agree with the athletes in this case though. Although I don't think money should be awarded retroactively. All the athletes on the covers of these games knew what they were getting into when they signed their LOI's. NCAA gets to use your likeness no matter what. If the rule is changed (and hopefully it will be.) I hope it's only changed going forward.
That said, congrats Mark, I'll definitely be updating to '12.
well, the university gets paid rights to use their logo (on the jersey and on the glove) and mark will get paid to be on the cover. It's the athletes featured IN the game that wont make money.What is really wrong about this is that neither he nor Alabama will benefit financially from this.
