I still havent forgiven EA for not letting me have NFL Head Coach 09, but still releasing Madden over here.

But, as long as EA still has its major cash-cows (The Sims, movie licenses, American sport licenses) then its going to be around and producing second rate rubbish for a considerable amount of time.

I think this guy is worried that independent developers might make a game that is actually better than the horseshat EA churns out, and ends up selling it at a price hugely reduced from EA's (frankly extortionate) $50 pricetag.

For me, I hope the NFL will come to its senses and award the licensing rights to someone who knows how to make a good game, and will put the time and effort into making it.
