Every year, the answer's the same: won't happen, as ESPN won't allow Madden to use their license and/or likenesses.

Hey son you can say all u want but bottom line is you know nothing.

I've never seen that answer given here...

The only thing I've ever seen is that the NFL wouldn't be happy if it was ESPN's presentation being used over their own.

So, is this NFL won't let them do it thing just an excuse? Things like ESPN, tattoos, suspensions, all things that are in the NFL and seen every week, yet the NFL won't let them put it into the game.

If thats true why isn't EA fighting back? Why do they let the NFL dictate everything in their game without at least arguing, customers want these things in the game and we're the ones buying the game. Adding these things would boost sales which would give the NFL and EA more money.

You can't honestly tell me that having ESPN in the game would some how hurt the NFL Networks ratings, that sounds completely crazy. IMO its just an excuse and EA doesn't want to add it in the game.

No one said that it would hurt NFL Network's ratings. Its that the NFL would get mad that EA is using ESPN over NFL Network to broadcast games and vice-versa.

So, why would they get mad then? And like I said, why doesn't EA ever fight back, is the contract with the NFL written so the NFL has total control over the game and EA doesn't have any?
