Re: A Question I've Never Seen Answered

they bought ESPN license simply so 2k could not come back and use it again in a football game.

EA has deep pockets, and wanted to make sure 2k stayed dead rather than have to actually compete with them.

I thought I read somewhere that the only licensing is with the ESPN news feeds and ticker stuff. I don't think they bought the licensing to ESPN branding and overlays. I am 47% sure I read that once upon a time.

That would make since, since ESPN news feeds and ticker stuff is in every EA Sports game.

I was just about to post this and am surprised nobody has at this point. This has been said many times in the past and is pretty much common knowledge. EA has the license to have ESPN news feeds in the game, that is all. The ESPN license does not allow branding and ESPN graphics/presentation.
