The old saying is "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT" still holds strong today. EA Sports missed that part in their Customer Service classes they took in college.
They may as well change the EA Sports catchphrase from "IF IT'S IN THE GAME...IT'S IN THE GAME" to "IF IT'S IN THE GAME...YOU WILL NOT GET IT IN OUR GAME"
What I would love to see is if 2k doesn't pick up the contract when EA's expires and EA gets another contract is that the community create our own football games and release them free over the internet. We can use fictional names for the teams and names on release to keep from getting sued and the community itself can rename the teams and players and redo the uniforms and all after release. We could even possibly talk Sony into helping us out by possibly getting it on the PS3 and doing sort of a MLB The Show thing to start with before we run EA out of the football business altogether. 2k has the rights to baseball, but, Sony has their own baseball game exclusive. Why not football too? Later, we could move to XBox to really polish EA off.
Yes it is my dream at the moment...But, a good one.
