But, I don't see that contract going away any time soon, unfortunately, which is a shame. Would Madden still be the 'best' NFL game? quite possibly, but it would be nice to see some competition get a chance Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-47690702703336785902011-09-27T14:43:43.636-04:002011-09-27T14:43:43.636-04:002004...the last year I purchased a football game, ...2004...the last year I purchased a football game, and the year I said I would never purchase a Madden game again, until their exclusive contract expired/was cancelled with the NFL.<br /><br />While I have little doubt I would enjoy the Madden games, and I even have Madden 2009 in my current collection, because a friend gave it to me...I just don't like the way EA went about dealing with coffeewithgameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381995224445934504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-24489919972838308392011-09-22T08:21:20.428-04:002011-09-22T08:21:20.428-04:00It is interesting you say that - I have a friend f...It is interesting you say that - I have a friend from Florida who was never really a fan of the NFL, but knew me and several of my friends were huge into it, and the Madden games too. <br /><br />He came up to visit, and he brought his romance of the 3 kingdoms game (I believe we were playing PS2 at the time), and he watched us play a few games of football and was like: You know, I can really seeChalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-55298864241496065692011-09-22T01:33:13.235-04:002011-09-22T01:33:13.235-04:00I think it's more of a comment about the sport...I think it's more of a comment about the sport itself.
