LOL, NFLville! This article had me scratching my head for a while, Madden Manager? Madden Backbreaker? I thought I was really out of the loop. Apparently, my reading comprehension skills are lacking. I didn't read the title thoroughly and was completely confused while reading the article. It's kind of clever, but I'm not sure if it's meant to be funny or just kind of taking a jab at EA's greed or maybe both.

It's funny because that actually happens

What a strange article. Maybe I'm just not smart enough but I can't seem to find a hint of a point here at all. What on earth is he on about? How would not having an exclusive license lead to EA having 30+ NFL game variants? If EA would do that, they could do that now.

Why would BackBreaker be called Madden BackBreaker? I don't get it.

The only point being made, extremely late in the peice, seems to be Madden would be a better game with competition. Finally something there which makes a lick of sense, lol.

Perhaps because the people who made Backbreaker could have gotten an NFL license for it?

Yeah but the term "Madden" is still an EA copyright.......

If Madden never had exclusive rights to the NFL, then this article would never have been created!!
