Nice!

How's this going to work? You can sign a few individual named players according to the article? Can you use NFL uniforms or do you have to make fake logos etc?

I hope this game goes on to pummel Madden and give a EA a big FU.

Wouldn't it be better to give the NFL the big FU for approaching EA for the deal in the first place?



(that's the way I understood it happening at least)

Ddn't want to badmouth the NFL in a forum full of americans on Superbowl week. Bad Karma and all of that =P

Didn't know that it was the NFL that had approached EA instead of the other way around.

How does the NFL contract work? Does EA pay a set amount and then get all the profits from game sales? If so, the NFL probably won't give a shit. If the NFL gets a percentage of sale, then they'll care if 2K is eating into sales.

Madden really is a shitty product. EA is just a greed machine. They'd release last years game with updated team rosters if they could get away with it. 2K seems to care a little more about the look and gameplay of their products.
