That's a really crappy thing to do to NFL fans. Monopolies are generally a bad thing for everyone.

The sad thing is that most people won't care and think its a good thing.

though EA is kool, 2k5 was really really good for 20 bucks and i now with EA im sure its gonna cost like 55 bucks in retail. i guess that 20 dollar stuff was jus a way of sayin, its over....

To be fair, Madden IS by far the most popular football game in terms of raw number of fans, and not for no reason. However, having a permanent and unshakable grasp on the NFL is kind of bad for progress.

Whole Europe is basically wrapped around Ea's finger. Every flocking year we get the game damn games with marginal improvements, and people hog those like mad.
