NFLPA Explains Position on Exclusive Deal (Per PastaPadre)
Full Story: http://www.pastapadre.com/2013/03/01...lusive-license

Quote:
Q: George, I wanted to ask you about the madden exclusive license. Do you plan to end this soon? The the 9-yr exclusive license ends this year and the fans are sick and tired of not having a choice of picking a nfl game to play. Madden is becoming stale and the community wants 2k sports to have a chance to make video games again. Nfl 2k5 was the best representation of the nfl to this date…. Please make this happen Mr. Atallah. Thanks for your time
Atallah: We have an agreement with EA and Madden. I have heard some opinions like yours, but honestly, EA is one of our best partners. I know they hear some of your input as well and work to improve the game every year.

Q: Sorry Mr. Atallah, but I will not purchase another ea nfl licensed game until the consumers are ale to have a choice again. The consumers should be in your best interest sir.
Atallah: I’m sorry to hear that. One thing to clarify though, my job and the job of the NFLPA, is to ensure that the players’ interests are top priority. I know that might not be the most popular answer, but it’s our mission.
Punch to the gut for most.

It's time for 2K to realize they just need to make a FULLY customizable football game with roster sharing...and of course an actual franchise mode as well.

Re: NFLPA Explains Position on Exclusive Deal (Per PastaPadre)
I guess I fail to see how keeping Madden exclusive is in the best interest of the players. Is it that kit of swag they get when the game comes out every year?

Not about the swag, all about the green.

I guess I don't understand how it works. So the players get money directly because the NFL has an exclusive agreement with EA?

I assume the players' union get a nice chunk of change from the deal as well, seeing as the players likeness is used exclusively as well.
