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.

Personally, I don't think they should have done this. It's just a game. What's that going to do if he gets removed? Nothing.

VisionaryMGMTWoobieM60WoobieDa_Bomb Its awsome how our society has gone to a "guilty untill proven inocent" attitude. I really hope he is innocent. Just so the Patriots and now ea looks like complete idiots.
As do I but, they can't have a killer in their game.. unless it's Ray Lewis.
Why would anyone want a killer in their game?
Well Ray Lewis is a killer, he's still there?
I lol'd. +1.
Anyway, I don't understand how this is bad publicity to their game. He's a athlete and he played for the Patriots. I don't see anything wrong with it.
at the end of the day the company sees him as a murderer therefore they don't want anything to do with him so they take him off the game

I agree with takeing him out, but in a few months after he is convicted.
