That 500,000 units will not make a dent in this NFL deal. They owe the nfl at least 50 mil this year. The numbers I have that madden sold 2.2 million in the monthy of august and guess we will have to wait until the NPD numbers.

Madden is the cash cow for ea. Its like having a money tree but this nfl deal will negate any profits for the Madden series.
