Well I'd hate to tell you that you don't speak the truth, but there is a such thing as a monopoly in the entertainment world, and if moving on were the concern then nothing needed to be said...

Look up the definition of monopoly... I'd be willing to bet what EA has done with Madden corresponds to SEVERAL of them, probably most, if not all.

Let me start you off with mine, and you can google the rest to finish disproving yourself.

A monopoly entails that there is a single owner and/or seller of a good, service, or product.

The product in this case is an NFL video game, to which EA is the only seller, and sole owner of the ability to produce said game, therefore making it a monopoly.
