Literally No Competition for EA

Now Madden NFL shall be truly innovative!

Published on December 16, 2004 By messybuu In Console Games

After SEGA, Take Two, and ESPN threatened EA's stranglehold its Madden NFL series held on the football game market, EA did what any competition-loving corporation would do and bought exclusive licensing rights to everything NFL. What does that mean? It means there will no longer be competition against EA's Madden NFL series, unless you count football games without NFL licenses, which don't count, because who wants to play a game not endorsed by the NFL? Nobody!

Fans of the Madden series are already drooling with the improvements such a lack of competition will bring to the series!

I'm pretty sure. I don't care about sports type games, however.

Only game I love and still play is Super Dodge Ball for nes console.

EA is now their worst competition.... because if they stop innovating, their older versions of their titles will hurt their new versions. That being said, I think this is a bad bad thing.

I hope so, but Madden does have a huge fan-base, and I'm not sure if they'll care much.

I'm surprised they haven't made other dodge ball games. That's my favorite sport, even if it does traumatize some weakling children.

Lack of competition, eh? Maybe EA won't have to enforce slave labor to produce quality games now. Maybe, just maybe, they can release subpar and even crappy games so that their employees can go home at the end of the day lol

Aw, sweet EA. Always thinking about the welfare of their employees!

That's true, although I do wonder if Madden fans will notice (is 2005 really that much different from 2004 and so on?).
