EA extends Contract with NFL

[Silk Dogg]

Didn't see this posted yet.

Today, EA Sports announced that it has extended its contract with the NFL and NFL Players through the 2012 season. That means the Redwood City, California-based publisher will retain exclusive game rights to all NFL teams, stadiums, and player likenesses and information through until the Super Bowl XLVII champion is crowned in 2013.

Dumb move by NFL. Why not let all the game makers carry the names? NFL wouldn't lose any money. Just make all compaines that want to carry teams and names to pay a license fee each year. The same thing is done for car racing games, no reason it can't be done for NFL. Dumb NFL, real dumb.

PEACE!!!!!

Its a sad sad day for videogame football I refused to buy a EA Madden Football product until they either 1) innovate and stop rehashing the game or 2) allow me a choice of NFL Football videogame.

well fellas I guess that sucks for yall, NFL football is only for the TV now for me, so what about NCAA Football, also is it a rumor or is 2K really not making a College Hoops 2K9 next year.

co-sign And i hope that the nfl realizes this soon because because unless they do some thing completely innovative people will definitely lose interest in the series. What ticks me off is that EA thinks it can still shove the same game down our thraots with only a few tweaks, hell they ain't even trying no more, and they think we will continue to sit and take that shit, fuck them and fuck those idiots that run the nfl.
