ESPN License and Score Line

Exactly. They know this stuff is crucial to an all around great NFL experience, but choose not to include it. Why? Because they are the only show it town.

EA bought out ESPN license just to throw a wrench at 2K, then Goodell took the boot to us by giving them exclusive rights, and it changed my video game "Fall season" for the bad.

EA can use espn in college football because the NCAA doesn't have its own network. Most reasonable thinking is NFL will not allow any official broadcast other than their own network. They could do a generic ticker however. It's not a conspiracy my friend ...sheesh.

If that was in Madden, chances are I'd be skipping it by right around week three or four.

No, it belongs to ESPN -- at least for another decade or so.

Because they outbid other networks for that right just like EA outbids the competition to make an NFL video game. In the end the NFL is always cashing in the checks.

We'll get the score ticker next year as "new feature".

In theory I guess they could use the nfl network ticker and wipes and set up they have nfl games at times

You do know they have a live ticker linked to nfl.com this year right.

Or you want the fake ticker and half time show that you will use for a couple of weeks in game and then skip though it or forget about it.
