You could say that that's an example of "normal news media backing down from something they're not supposed to publish". Besides...it's freakin' ratings on a video game. Not like this is some HUGE news story that these gaming sites are sitting on. I'm sure if something seriously wrong was detected in Madden, they'd be reporting on it whether EA wanted them to or not.

How did that leak out I have forgotten?

I am not trying to pick any one site. I think it's an industy thing. It will get worse over time.

Agreed. Ratings not that big of a deal. But the main point being EA ha
s all the control. If they did not have monoploy they would not have the power for this ratings crap. Remember it starts with the small stuff like this then they will see if people put up with it. Then move to something bigger.

Notice I said reputable news source? No major news organization leaked Kobe Bryant's accuser's name. It came out by nickel and dime news websites trying to make a name for themselves.

Again, I say TRUST ME. If there was something BIG to report, OS and everyone else would be reporting it with or without EA's permission.

So, back to the original question - do you think the ratings will be released after the PPV event? I don't know or care who bows to who, etc. - I'm simply curious to see the player ratings; gives me something to look through until the game is out on 8/22.
