Hey EA- I Remember reading this statement not too long ago when 2k secured a non-simulation agreement!
“EA Sports is the exclusive publisher of NFL simulation games, and our partnership with the NFL and NFLPA remains unchanged. Our agreements have always allowed for non-exclusive development of non-simulation games on various platforms. Our commitment to NFL fans, which spans almost 30 years, has never been stronger, and we’re having our biggest year yet. Madden NFL 20is the most successful game ever in the franchise, and new modes like Superstar KO and our Madden NFL esports broadcasts are growing the fan base. We’ll be building on that momentum with more new and different experiences, on more platforms and with new ways to play, in the years to come.“
So please tell us about this really strong commitment to football fans! You continue to veer away from what brought your game to the top of the football world. The reason your game quality continues to drop is pretty easy. You were afraid of competition and so you made a huge investment into buying the exclusive rights to the NFL for gaming. Once the competition was out of the way, the easiest way for you to recoup the money you overpaid for rights was to simply make sure you had a game out every year. You knew that you didn’t have to continue upgrading your product because football gamers were gonna buy your game no matter what. Us gamers wouldn’t be having these issues right now if we had a different football game to go to. The NFL has also taken notice of this too, and your exclusive rights are set to end in 2022. You might wanna think about that while you continue to ignore what brought your game to prominence! I’m sure you don’t care about my thoughts, or anyone else on here, but you are only hurting your future by not promptly fixing these issues!
