The names are actual names that either have been pitched or are the kinds of names that would be likely to be pitched after research. It is much more close to what actually happens than if as an owner you pick your own city, your own name, your own uniform. That doesn't happen. The NFL, the city, state, and investors have a lot of input into these decisions. If you are Bill Gates, with all the money in the world, you can't just buy a team move them where you want and call them the Fighting Gateses and dress them in Microsoft uniforms. The NFL has to approve the city, name and uniform. Nike has to design the uniform. The city has to allow you to move there. Its a complicated process and I like how EA is representing it here.

I couldn't agree more. I actually like the fact that while it gives you some creative freedom in moving to a different place with a different logo and different uniform, it’s still mandated that the NFL approves it. That is realistic and I think it’s a good fit for the game. While I think I would've liked a teambuilder design more, I can respect the decision they made on this. I’m interested to see what the stadiums look like and if there will be a background native to that area.

Being from Texas, I have to agree. I think Houston and San Antonio both should’ve been excluded and they could have left it with Austin. With that said, you don’t have a problem with them putting in California and Florida cities that both already have three teams each?

And finally, I must be overly-Irish. Because I got a little bit giddy when I saw that I could not only move a team to Dublin, Ireland (A gorgeous city with amazing sports fans) but also be able to call them the Shamrocks and have an official Logo with Nike Uniforms.
