This has been going on for years. The NCAA also sells jerseys with the number and name of players on the back and the players get no money from the profits made off of those jerseys. Nothing has been done. I've been hearing about the court cases for years but nothing yet. Also note that with these games there is NO DOUBT that they used the players likeness. Every single player in the game can be linked to their real life player. They have their number, position, and their skills set to how they perform in real life. Ellie in The Last of Us is no where near as close as that. Different hair color, eye color, skin color, freckles, scar... Face strucure is similar but that is all.

Ed O'Bannon has a lawsuit that has been going on for some time. It looks like it will change the issues with EA getting free reign over NCAA player likenesses.

My point is this: Look at how difficult it was for them to get this done. They were obviously using the players likeness but it has taken years for them to get this far and we are still not sure if they are going to win.
