I remember when there were so many options for NFL games besides Madden. But NFL 2K5 was magical
The NFL has officially extended its exclusive deal with EA Sports through the 2030 season, meaning Madden will remain the ONLY NFL video game until the new decade.
This “expanded, multi-year agreement” makes EA the exclusive provider of NFL football video games, continuing to block competitors like 2K from returning to the market.
It’s now been 20 years since EA bought out the rights after NFL 2K5, leaving fans with only one option, and each year, the complaints keep stacking up. From broken animations and cloud server issues to the removal (not addition) of classic features, remember “Create a Fan” or Classic Teams?
Fans are getting fed up.
