no more Madden games

<< < (2/3) > >>

Big BpG:
they're still going to make NFL games, the problem is... John Madden's Monday Night Football contract is up after this year. If ABC rehires him, everything is good, however rumor is, that ESPN might pick him up. If this is the case, then they can use Madden on their ESPN video games and 'madden' will not be able to be used by EA. They'll have to make a new name.

Eddie G.:
The thing is, no one will really give a fuck if Maddens fag ass isn't in it, its just the name

Thirteen:
exactly, now that EA is the only one with the ability to use NFL players names and likenesses, madden doesn't even matter.... they could call it Pauly Shore NFL 2005 and it would still sell

Sikotic™:
Talk about greed. Raising the cost= pooping on all the fans/gamers

Woodrow:
EA is a company, and their first responsibility is to make money.

It really sucks for gamers, but from a business perspective, its genius. They pretty much have a grip on an entire genre. It'd be like them buying the rights to RPG games and telling everybody else to fuck off.

If this Madden shit happens, I think Sega is gonna be up a creek. If not, I'd be willing to bet that they work out some sort of deal with EA to publish the NFL2KX games through EA.
