Drop the personal attacks and stop being hypocritical.

You are defending your view point like your job depends on it yet find it hysterical that someone else is defending the opposing viewpoint to the same lengths?

Kehlis is here, ...it's safe to post!

EVERY year people say "this is the end for Madden/exclusive license" , EVERY year people argue. EVERY year, Madden survives.

All the hope in the world ain't gonna change that. I would LOVE to go back to 2 or 3 or 4 games in every sport. I'd probably buy them. But it's not happening

Fair enough. Thanks.

What I want to know is how many people would actually buy Madden if Madden didnt have the exclusive license and another company did?

The majority of buyers purchase it because they can play as "Aaron Rodgers" or "Clay Matthews", not because of how stagnant the gameplay is or how bare the franchise mode is. Sad but true.

I'd consider buying any game that is complete, real info or not. A couple threads in Football Other forum have touched on this topic. I play to build my team in Madden and would play a lot more of the other sports games doing the same thing if I understood them better.

Sales have slipped in a very bad way, plus the one year extension is a way of telling the developers to get the game in the right direction, or else. And If EA wanted a 5 year extension, then they would have signed on that dotted line when the opportunity was given. Like I said, this shows some hesitation on EA's part. The exclusive rights don't mean that much if they can't make the money they once did when the game was a non-exclusive. I rest my case.

i would probably buy/rent every game if there was choice,see which one is the best and second best and keep those two. i remember back in the day I had madden,2K,and NFL Fever just because they had things the others did not...oh those were the days!

This to me is not going anywhere,the NFL likes exclusive things but they don't realize how bad the exclusive video game license is killing us,THE CONSUMER. Man I just wish that if we gonna be stuck with one game, it be the best game...and after 7 years,I'm still waiting...with no hope in sight...

You're so right. I bought 2k AND Madden just to compare the two. I had to set aside time to play both every Sunday.....lol. Had 2 Browns franchises going at the same time.....
