EA didn't get sued over community rosters. When the people create and share rosters that aren't making a profit, there's nothing you can really do about it. EA got sued because they were using and admitted to using unlicensed player likenesses in base rosters of NCAA Football/Basketball and Madden. 2K can get away with this because the rosters that are created and shared by the community have nothing to do with 2K as a company. They are not the ones creating player likenesses and are also not profiting from it. Remember $$$ is the baseline factor here. If Ed O'Bannon and Co. were getting paid for their likenesses this would have been an entirely different issue with improper benefits (NCAA rules violations). Now if 2K started charging everytime we downloaded a community roster or if say I created a roster with player likenesses and started charging people to DL it then there would be an issue.

LOL, it wasn't even that hard if you used the R2 button. All you had to do was hold that and press the button twice to throw the ball. For idiots using the right stick to maneuver the cone, yeah, it's was damn near impossible.

And I don't really care about them bringing back the vision cone anyway as we've been there and done that already ( I was just citing the vision cone as the last example of anything innovative that came from EA concerning Madden). I want something new, which is something ( with the new targeting system ) that we might get this year.
