Consumers didn't support multiple football games. We nitpick these games and brand loyalty dominated the market. Most didn't even buy 2k football games before 19.99 price drop. I remember how so many here defended the EA/NFL deal now EA is the great devil.

Sport gamers will have one hockey game, baseball game, football game, and basketball game. We can't blame EA/NFL for the rise of FPS and the decline of sport games.

PS

Madden 11 is a good game after the patches.
I agree. Sports games are going away, the way we had it in the past isnt going to come back.
