EA says "All your base are belong to us"

Remember all the non-EA NFL games? They are here no longer...

December 13, 2004 - Just when you thought ESPN Videogames was catching up, in one move, they've never been farther behind. Electronic Arts announced today an exclusive licensing agreement with the National Football League and Players Inc. to develop, publish, and distribute interactive football games. These agreements give EA the exclusive rights to the NFL teams, stadiums, and players for use in its football video games for the next five years.

You read that right…exclusive rights to the NFL teams, stadiums, and players.

Meaning no ESPN NFL 2K6, no more NFL GameDay, and bye-bye NFL Blitz. All football fans will be left with are Madden, NFL Street, and a new unannounced football management game that is in the works from, you guessed it, EA Sports.

Should you care to read more about this sad day, follow the link to IGN Sports (http://sports.ign.com/articles/572/572886p1.html)

I just read that they own licensing to NASCAR, FIFA, PGA golf, and others. They said they are also thinking about buying MLB and NBA.... All I can say is I bet EA will be going to the shitter just like all the companies they bought out.

No more EA titles for me thanks.

Now if only "Someone set up us the bomb"

I was going to buy NFSU2 but I didn't as it did not fulfill my expectations.
