    Carl Edwards and EA

    found this on wikipedia:

    "He is not featured in the video games NASCAR 07, despite winning 4 races prior to its release, and finishing third in the NEXTEL Cup points in 2005. He was not offered a contract for the game by Electronic Arts, the makers of the NASCAR 07 game due to Edwards lending his name to a series of plug-and play video games made by Excalibur Electronics. Both the 8-bit and 16-bit version of Carl's racing game feature his signature backflip, shown whenever Carl's character wins a race. He has also endorsed a hand held LCD game, which is co-branded with NASCAR and is highlighted by red No. 99 Carl Edwards graphics. He is absent from the EA Sports NASCAR game , NASCAR 08, due to the same reason."

    i though it was his contract that prevented him from being in the game, not EA being stubborn about it. are these side ventures of his even competitive with ea?

    if he has other stuff out, I'm guessing those contracts make it hard to put him in the NASCAR game, and EA just didn't bother.
