Problem is the NFL already has their money, so they probably won't care until 2012. The way to make changes is to not rush out and buy the game upon release or better yet not buy the game at all. I know it will be rough to go without a football game for a year or 2, but it will be for the greater good.

I learn to get along with it - obviously beeing used to Madden on old-gen, the different gameplay gave me the most headaches so far

But nice to see, that there are more "older" gamers around here.

Some of youguys playing it on the 360? Maybe we might exchange Gamertags to get some games up the other day. I hate playing online usually, because there are way to many cheesers around. But I never mind a real sim game, even if get blown away

when the nfl and ea originally did this it had nothing to do with ea. the nfl wanted to just have one license out so it was easier to regulate what was going on in the game. the ncaa and other pro sports followed the lead. they proposed to the game makers to make an offer of royalties that they they would make off the game. ea won. 2k didnt try. they wanted to go in the direction of other sports. ea was still kicking there but in sales and profit. this is the same reason ea didnt make a pro baseball game for a while. this makes things very easy for the pro sports legal depts. of course they took ea's offer. it was more, they have a bigger marketing dept and the nfl and ncaa same greater potential in ea. it wasnt game making ablity they were looking at. i know that ncaa paid over 100,000 in royalties to FSU last year to have them in the game. these games are a good source of money for the teams that are in it and its not ea keeping them from letting other companys make games, this is what the govering heads of these sports want.
