OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

How is it that in everyone of these threads the NFL is excluded from the deal. Now some may say they hate the monopoly that ea has created. Yet most own and x-box and your pc runs on windows. It is a running joke and no one is laughing.

Even with that sticky right above this thread?

EA obtains exclusive rights to NFL and NFLPA

So, if I were to buy madden 2006 I would lose $30.00 plus a little self respect by buying a garbage game they are probably not going to do much to improve. Wow, ea does have some of us by the onions. (This is not aimed at you FF you know we are homeboys you being from Blonkahs and all that)

I hear ya no offense taken.

There's the bottom line right there. Relax people they are games.

You are mad at the NFL too aren't you? Why not complain about how they took away your choice? Maybe you don't realize that the NFL has more to do with this then EA does. If you want to get upset at someone, get upset at the NFL. If they wouldn't have put the license out for sale, this never would have happened.

I love threads like these, very entertaining. Although I must say, they are getting a little old.

Agreed. But it's a slow day, so it does provide some laughs.

Yep, they sure do provide some laughs. Your quote below made me spit my Dr Pepper all over my monitor.
