EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

Makes me wonder what the whole "bring it 2k" was all about.

It sure made him look like a chump.

He might as well have challenged an 8 year old to a fight (which would also be hypothetical).

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

If you watch the video, listen to what HHG says before Rex issues the challenge. HHG askes "IF" the license was open, what you would say. He posed it as a hypothetical.

Yeah I just saw the transcript of the question and what the EA guy said. Still seems ridiculous to me to go that far with an answer when you know its not even a possibility. Oh well, it doesn't ultimately matter in the end. The status quo remains

With this news confirmed. I agree that comment was in very poor taste knowing they can't "bring it"

Lost all respect for Rex. Definitely won't be supporting Madden now.

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

I wasn't aware of Rex Dickson until i saw the youtube video of him screaming at the screen about how they were not making an arcade game and making a football simulation. It was cringeworthy and corny.

Then to hear about the challenge to 2k, wow, i believe NFL put it up for bid and EA won, so not sure how he thinks 2k can buy the licenese if they have the exclusive contract? who knows.

Maybe one day we will see another 2k vs ea battle, i was a huge supporter of madden, then madden 06/07/08/09 etc came out and at that point, you come to expect disappointment. Glad the cones back tho

I didn't take it as a hypothetical because he said something along the lines of 2K put your money up (referring to license).

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

The EA challenge to 2K looks pretty disgusting assuming EA still holds the exclusive license. I really need to quit giving EA my money. First test is next week, as I planned to purchase EA UFC. I really don't need another game right now with The Show, NBA 2K, and Watchdogs, so I might be able to hold out........ but probably not

Just wait to buy it used this way EA is not the one getting your sale.

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

For as long as EA holds the exclusive NFL license I will never ever even consider buying Madden and giving EA my money. I would feel so dirty!

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

Everything played our as I expected. 2K football is dead, and folks need to except it.

This makes his challenge while holding a title belt even better. A true heel tactic to challenge your enemy when you know he can't touch you.

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

I wish I didn't like football so much so I wouldn't have to give EA my money every august. Lost a lot of respect for Rex here, but my love of football won't let me hold back from buying.

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

I honestly think he was tired of hearing about 2K and got caught up in the moment.

How would you all feel if you put immense time, effort and energy into something only to have an audience of naysayers keep saying your work isn't good enough?

LOL well make it good enough or better and people wouldn't do that and that's a fact.

I don't see people that play the Show always comparing the current version to say MVP 2005 and saying how the latter was so much better. I don't see anyone comparing NBA 2k14 to say Lakers vs Celtics. I don't see anyone comparing NHL to Blades of Steel. These comparisons are not made because the current games, even with their flaws are far superior to the previous ones. Bottom line make a superior game in EVERY way and they won't hear it. In addition, these comparisons are the price they have to eat because their corporate team eliminated all the competition. So all eyes are on you jack and when you don't produce it make it look that much worse.

What would 2K football look like now? Always online for single player, crap online servers and VC everywhere.

Personally I think it's really a overblown thing.

that's about when i stopped playing madden, at the start of the last-gen. That's when the game was still good, at least

[videlsports]

So now we know the truth... REX yells at 2k 2000miles away
. Probably how he grew up. We 2k still has my money for 15. Well you can't extended forever, but what do you expect from cowards
