It is possible, though I wouldn't hold my breath. Both EA and the NFL are two power hungry corporations that don't seem to care about the consumer at all. The execs only care about lining their own pockets with an extra few zeros on their bonus checks. As long as the money is still there for both of them, nothing will change.
