The question was what if they had both networks (ESPN/NFL network) have in game presentation in the game.

It may sound good to compromise, but these two different networks are competing for market share. They don't want players to see the other guy and think there is a viable alternative. They want players to see one network and for them to get their real life information from their station. The best thing EA could do is make banners and bars that are not obtrusive, and are up to date with what ESPN and NFLN are doing. I would take MLB 2k9 and (I think) NCAA 09 as examples on how to do it.

Dude, you don't get it. We're only talking about banners. You just use the right banner for the right games. ESPN - Monday Night Football. NFL Network - Thursday Night Football. Then use the EA network for everything else in place of FOX, CBS, and NBC. That is nothing that the companies can get mad about--that's what it is in real life.

I would say presentation is headed in the right direction.

You don't get it lol. If they did that than a site could show pics of games on certain days, therefore leaving out and/or having less pics of games on other days and therefore creating the possibility of an assumption by the viewers of the pics that the game only has one type of presentation. I'm pretty sure the ESPN and NFL network do not want to share in game presentation with each other in the same game especially since EA has the exclusive rights to both of them.

The NFL back in 2003 (if I remember correctly) got mad at Blitz because the hits were too hard and therefore Blitz had to tone down their game. Things might sound ridiculous to you, but these companies make millions upon millions of dollars. They can get mad at things that the average person probably wouldn't see as a big deal since they have the money and power to do so.

I think you may be right Zero. I'm wondering then if that was a gameplay screen from franchise mode.

I hate banners. I hate them on TV. I am watching the Masters and there are NO banners and it is fantastic. I want my screen clutter free. I bought an HDTV for detail, not so companies can squeeze banners and adds all over it.

Especially since they already did this with the last couple of NBA Live games on PS2. It had an option for the score overlay to be at the top or bottom of the screen.

They did this also on NBA Live PS1 with TBS and TNT
