Video Gamers Sue EA Over Exclusive Sports Games (News)

Jun 16, 2008

Sports video games are a huge business -- and for many years, it was an extremely competitive space. I remember a few years back trying to wade through half a dozen different baseball video game titles to figure out which one was worth buying. However, a few years back, video game giant EA started signing "exclusive" deals with a variety of sporting leagues, including the NFL. These "exclusive" deals supposedly meant that only EA could produce games with the names and stats of real players -- a huge selling point among most fans. And, of course, in gaining exclusivity, EA has completely cashed in. However, a bunch of angry video gamers are now suing the company for anticompetitive conduct, noting that these exclusive deals killed off all the competition, allowing EA to drastically raise its prices.

If you never see the point of buying every yearly update of EA's sports titles, EA's about to give you one: from September 1 it will begin shutting down the online servers for most of its 2006-edition sports titles. As of that date, the online gameplay options on games like FIFA World Cup 2006, NBA Live 06, Madden 06 and Tiger Woods 06 will be rendered useless on all formats including PC. This means you'll have to purchase the newer editions of the games to continue the fight via the web, or ...

Madden NFL 06 (Review)

Mar 16, 2006

In the actual, real world, John Madden the man is known almost as much for the fact that he practically lives in his giant bus, the Maddencruiser, as he is for being a complete nut-case who happens to have a high football I.Q. How ironic, then, that it's taken until now to get a portable version of his football game that hasn't been strictly second-string. The Game Boy versions haven't made the cut, and the less said about last year's Nintendo DS fiasco, the better. Madden NFL 06 on PSP would ...
