The MLB2K6 thing was IGN hinting that that was the case (Jon Robinson I think) - far from actual fact. And if this game is so bad, there's apparently a great one in The Show that's available.

The NFL is the largest sports entity out there and they apparently don't have a problem with the dissatisfaction people have expressed on the forums
