Honestly, is anyone surprised at this point?

Not surprised and frankly don't care at this point. I'm just dying for any new video game take on the sport. It's been more disappointing not having Joe Montana info up to now than to find out EA still has exclusivity.

The NFL or better yet Roger Fakedell needs to get off this Greed trip and run this League the way its needs to b ran. At this point The Makers of Madden is just putting out anything and getting away with it. John Maddens Name is on this thing and its being dragged through the mud. Wow this really has gone to far.

Terrible news. Guess no bros are coming at anyone this year.

Why anyone is getting mad about this is beyond me. You had to know the exclusive deal will continue till probably the end of console gaming.

There is no point in hoping it will end anytime soon, because it won't.

I phrased that poorly Chris, it is directed at the state of the Madden franchise not your article. My apologies

My name is Chase!

This news doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Shouldn't even be news, really, if not for irresponsible rumor-mongering.

Hey, OS didn't do it!

Has he posted since that first post? Everything he posted was pretty much a lie.

Nope, just the one. It'd be more of a symbolic thing at this point. Btw, that post was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek- tapatalk didn't seem to save my emote.

Also, since I can't GIF from tapatalk would someone mind posting the Simpsons "man gets hit by football" one? Because that's pretty much how I feel right now.

There will still be an announcement, one I'll be very interested in since I'm a lover of all things football. But no license means the bell tolling on any hope this was going to compete with Madden as a mainstream title.

I can't tell on this site if people are really that uptight or if it's all just some tongue-in-cheek humor that I'm not getting. Really hoping its the latter.

The tongue is firmly in my cheek, I can promise you.

No equipment update this year, that was already mentioned before E3.

Acturally, Kaep and Von Miller have tats this year it seems.

The players need permission from the artist or EA will be served with lawsuits on the tats.

Re: Peter Moore Confirms on YouTube Stream That EA Still Exclusive With NFL

I hate this to my core. It just means the genre is gonna continue going almost nowhere like it has since 2004, got us wanting basic stuff like a real full playcall screen and basic equipment, and we know we arent getting it, smh. How crazy is that?

I get mad heated over thinking about where football gaming would be today if this BS never happened. Look at where it was in 2004, and theyre still playing catchup to a ton a things.

But as far as the NFL license go with that other game thats just fooled around forever, Im not even trippin. E3 was nuts this year. I wasnt even checking for that game today.

Its so many dope games droppin, Im not about to stress over a buncha unknowns who wanna play corny hide and go seek games on Twitter. I dont got time for that. Thats why I didnt even disagree with Millennium shuttin it down.

Show something, confirm something, or bounce, and I mean seriously bounce.

This is one thing a lot of people don't understand. EA can't just add in tattoo's and even certain equipment. A lot of it is licensed content they need permission to use. For tattoo's it would be a monumental task to get the rights to every tattoo in the game. A tattoo is like a song or painting the rights of it belong to the artist. Having the exclusive license gives them rights to everything the NFL owns directly, they still need to sign separate deals with companies like Reebook, Nike, Under Armour etc.

While I agree with, or at least accept, the premise of EA going that rout, I still feel like they could circumvent the rules in a form that would allow for some sort of generic tattoos to be place holders for players to make them at least seem more realistic. It wouldn't be truly authentic, but it would be more authentic than what we currently have.

Re: Peter Moore Confirms on YouTube Stream That EA Still Exclusive With NFL

so you are telling me every player in the NBA has their tattoos verified by the NBA? I find that VERY hard to believe...
