The crux of the lawsuit revolves around the more than 140 “historic teams” included in the game. The players on those in-game teams have no names and do not share the same jersey numbers as their real-life counterparts. That said, the plaintiffs claim that characteristics, “including the players’ height, weight, and skill level, were consistently identical or so close to the living player’s characteristics that the consumers of the game could readily discern what player was being represented.”
