In all fairness, it was the NFL who decided to put the exclusive license up for sale. If EA didnt buy it, somebody else would have.

On the positive side. For those of you who liked the ESPN aspect of NFL2k5, looks like we will get it in next years "Madden" football game. I use the term loosley because if they were smart they'd get the ESPN announcers to start working on some voicetracks.

Good. Even though I like Al Michaels, its time for Madden to be done. Although that kinda breaks the legacy.
