I agree with most of you guys completely ANY football game without the 32 teams is not a football game at all... plus if yo guys think about they have to have all the teams because US the consumers control how much money those companies make.... They wont make any money if nobody will but their gameso i wouldnt woory too much about them not having all the teams, but if anything were to happen i hope they get rid of that stupid contract, NFL 2K5 fn all the way BABY!!!!

I read a few comments and it seems people dont understand the nature of competition.
If in the NFL, only the same 4 or 5 teams are good each and every year and each and every year those teams win the SB, then no one would watch. By putting in salary caps, etc. the league makes the field more balanced and you get a better product. Just think, the salary cap is why the NFL is more popular then MLB, more good teams across the board, fewer "Yankee" type teams.
Well in business the same is true. Could you imagine if the only place you could buy a burger was at McDonalds, or the only place you could get a taco was T-Bell? That would suck. Those corporations would get lazy and wouldnt try to improve or get better due to the lack of competition.
The same goes for Madden. With 2K out of the picture there is no reason for them to improve the game or make it better in any way. EA doesnt have to look over there shoulders and wondre if someone else is making a better game. Personally, I was disapointed in this years games lack of refinement and its many, many glitches. Collinsworth is absolutely horrible. I think the game took a step back, which hurts us, the consumer.Comment

Re: NFL Antitrust: What it Means for the Sports Video Game Industry
I had forgotten about this thread, but to add a bit to this... I had said that 2K should have just made a generic football game, blah blah blah... Some people said it couldn't be done... Enter Ian's Super Secret Project... There is nothing that anyone can do about fans making teams and posting them online and this new project/idea for team EA prooves it... At this point, good for them, at least this idea should at the very least SHOW people that editing blank teams/players is allowed... Now if only Take 2 were aware of this...Comment

Re: NFL Antitrust: What it Means for the Sports Video Game Industry
Professional sports are unlike any other intellectual property in the sense that they are already a virtual monopoly. It's one thing to let the sports monopolies live, but they shouldn't be allowed to create other monopolies in the process.Comment
