Accused murderer Aaron Hernandez removed from NCAA 14 and Madden 25
"We have made a decision to remove Aaron Hernandez from Madden NFL 25 and NCAA Football 14. Because NCAA Football 14 was finalized prior to our decision, Hernandez' image still appears in the Nike Skills Trainer. However, he is not in the game, and anyone who unlocks that particular Nike Skills Trainer reward will receive an Alex Smith Ultimate Team player item instead. The image of Hernandez will be removed via a Title Update in the near future."
NCAA 14's Ultimate Team mode, the college football series' version of EA Sports' card-collecting mode seen in many of its games, features thousands of unlockable, real-life athletes. The athletes, many being current NFL players, represent the colleges they attended. In Hernandez's case, his likeness in NCAA 14 was tied to the Florida Gators. He was released by the Patriots on the day he was arraigned, so were he in Madden 25, he would have been a free agent.

Third_Eye Wow, never thought it'd get to EA nitpicking the people included in their games. However, I do believe that this is the right move. Hernandez did murder someone, and it was over something stupid like an argument. He tossed it all out.
i don't understand why he would kill someone??

They are doing the right move here. There are many guys still out there that have created crimes like this still in the NFL.

Definitely the right move. I don't play Madden/NCAA and I have no idea about American Football but an accused criminal (especially a murderer) shouldn't be on the game.

Persistence I knew this would happen, but rightfully so. It's a paradox to me, but I guess money really doesn't buy happiness.
seen as he ain't in the team anymore then it's pointless him being in the game
