ea could be in danger of losing its exclusive nfl license!

[JohnnyNutman]

heard this all before. get over it now cos ull inevitably be disappointed.

adembroski had a pretty good post about this in another thread. im too lazy to look for it. the gist of it is that even tho u might not like EA having exclusive rights, if the case didnt get ruled in their favor then it would open up the door for alot of other people to do whatever they want with someone else's intellectual property.

Not going to happen. I'll believe it when I see it.

The NFL is owned by all the owners correct? Don't they pretty much make the decisions together? So if they want it to be 1 program or whatever,they should leave it at that.Me and my wife make decisions all the time TOGETHER.I wish someone would try and tell us that we can't purchase sony products because we need to give some other company a chance.This lawsuit is a joke.And very
UNamerican.

GOD i hope so, give us something different. We need competition!!

The NFL is not government owned so they can sign deals with who ever they want. When will people see that.

If the NFL wins this case outright, they will have the ability to:

1. Install salary caps and wage scales for coaches

2. Eliminate the players' union leverage that has produced free agency, increased salaries, big bonuses and numerous other benefits.

3. Set the price of their gear to whatever they feel like putting on the tag. (A $20 hat from American Needle became a $40 Reebok hat and could become a $60 Nike whenever NFL owners decide they need a little extra spending money.)

Oh yeah, and it will also prevent other game companies from creating an NFL video game title.


I sure hope the NFL wins.

It's their company,let them do what they want.If you dont like the price,,dont buy it.Simple as that.Seems like most americans just want a cheap and easy way around things.
