There will never be 2k Football because of Roger Goodell

[NATINO]

One of the worse commissioners of all time is Roger Goodell. Wants football in london, exclusive license EA, stupid changed rules, and he is just horrawful.

As long as he is commissioner, there will never be 2k football since roger goodell eats EA executives buns for dinner every night.

Long live former nfl commissioner , the golden era commish of the nfl, Paul Tagliabue!

The exclusive business model was in place before Goodell. Video games just werent as big. Look at apparel. Nike or Reebok has pretty much always had the exclusive. Video games themselves really exploded as an entertainment medium in the early 2000's in 2004, is when the NFL decided it wanted to go exclusive. It had everything to do with the Gaming industry booming and nothing to do with Goodell. There are plenty of crap things Goodell has done, but this one is not his fault, it is just the business decisions the NFL has ALWAYS practiced.

so u telling us that a deal that was inplace before he became commish is now his fault?

Goodell has done nothing to rectify the situation, therefore, he is just as responsible.

That's because the NFL is driven by a all exclusive business plan, including Rebok, Directtv, Coors, etc.... You can't blow up one part of the plan without blowing up the others.

In business, if it ain't broke, you don't fix it.

But from the NFL's perspective, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You the consumer are the fault of why there will be no 2k football, Not Roger Goodell, Not Paul Tagliabue, not anyone elses. If you voted with your wallet, and refused to buy madden 06-07 etc. The NFL could view it as a mistake, however with sales of one game doing well, and the loss of total sales due to 1 product instead of 2 being off set buy a premium exclusive rights deal, The NFL sees nothing wrong. Sales for Madden are much higher than Madden 04 and 05, and even if they aren't "double" they are close enough that they are making more money having the exclusive. The NFL is in the making money business, not the appease the gamer business. And just so you know, the commissioner of the NFL is not the end all be all in decision making, especially financial decision making. That is a vote of all 32 owners.
