If 2k gets exclusive NFL rights we'll have the same problem... look at how the NBA games are progressing because of competition in the market. We need EA and 2K fighting each other for the top spot before we get another great NFL title.
EA makes a great product, when pushed to do so... they aren't the problem.

i think 2k would make more of an effort than madden would, especially if they put all their eggs in that basket by buying the rights. and in my opinion they had the better game when they lost the rights

Well im pretty sure there will be a lockout next year so we will have to wait and see..... I wonder how madden will work next year?? Lets pray there is no lockout, Im not sure what I would do without NFL sundays..... Im holding out faith the players union and owners can work something out. Lots of things need attention tho, rookie cap and it looks as if owners will not agree on anything less than 18 game regular season. Which will kill two preseason games which is no biggie to us but the players may not bite on it. Hopefully they can come to some kind of compromise. For christ's sake it is the most lucrative sport in the world, there should plenty to go around for all.

Sorry I don't care who says it or what reply I get, 18 game regualr season is a huge mistake. 4 preseason games are not enough to truly evaulate young talent. 18 game season, guarantteed to see scab like games by week 17 each season. Too many injuries as it is now. No body can give me a good reason to play 18 regular season games. I know preseason is a bore but football is football when it comes to watching games. I love watching the rookies play, see what's out there. 2 preseason games, now thats a joke!!!!! I know the owners own the teams and it's their cash, but in essence it's the fans game. We pay up the wazoo to go to them . Fuck an 18 game schedule.

We pay up the wazoo to go to them . Fuck an 18 game schedule. As a Cleveland Browns season ticket holder, along with JStraus. I hate the idea of an 18 game regular season... However, I HATE the fact that the season ticket holders are required to pay FULL PRICE for fucking preseason games!!! Here in Cleveland, Straus and I are required to renew our tickets around March or April for the upcoming season. $45/gm x 10 home games = $450 each... The fact that we pretty much wast $90 a year on 2 games that don't mean shit really pisses me off... Meanwhile, at the start of every season, the Browns and local ticket distributers have crazy promotions and sales on preseason tickets. IE, 'Amazing Tickets' has $45 dollar Dawg Pound seats available for $20 now? WTF? Also, the Browns are running a promotion, if you buy a full or partial season ticket package you get X amount of free tickets to Cedar Point... WTF again? If your wondering what they do for their season ticket holders, well, we got some corny 'season ticket holder' ball caps this year in the mail with our tickets... Gee, thanks... Where are my Cedar Point tickets? I renewed in March... Where is my $60 bucks for the 2 preseason games? Point being. No matter what happens and no matter what the NFL / NFL PA says, EVERYTHING is about money. The will tell you that they are going to 18 games to give the fans more meaningful games. But in reality they are going to 18 games to get MORE MONEY... Adding to this problem is the fact that UNPROVEN #1 picks get more and more every damn year. Its an absolute joke that Bradford is one of the highest paid players in the league and he hasn't taken a single snap from center in an NFL game... Are you kidding me? What other job in the world can you get hired into where you make more money as a new employee than a person who has been working there for 5,6,7 years??? The NFL seriously needs a system like the NBA. Rookies make X amount of $ PERIOD. No discussion, No Holdouts, No Drama. Prove yourself on the Field, then get Paid... I am already preparing myself for a strike next season. Video game football might be the only NFL football we see next year.
