Haven't EA got a near-monopoly on the US sports titles now? I remember reading something about the ESPN series going down the pan because EA got exclusive rights to the NFL and NHL teams or something. Definitely makes a contrast to losing ground in the football games.

They have the rights to the NFL but not the NHL yet I don't think.. Take Tow's (think it's them) have better sports games IMO but without the official licenses then they are doomed.

All they care about is money.

As opposed to game companies who don't care about the money?

Remeber which company is bringing you Burnout and Battlefield.

EA have exclusive rights to the NFL. Then after that went and got the rights to the ESPN brand as well.
