ESPN rights just bought by EA for 15 years, first NFL now this ...

[*AtoMZ~Al~PoLE*]

thats right niggas EA has shitted on all other sport companies not only does EA have exclusive rights to the NFL liscense for 5 years but now they have rights to ESPN liscense for 15 years
meaning more than likely there will be no more college hoops or any 2K shit period cause these
fags got shook.... oh well guess i'll just have to play college hoops and nfl 2k5 til 2020

[Doctor Chicken]

i'm not even suprised with anything this shitty company does anymore. they have all the tools now, there is no reason that they shouldn't produce the greatest sports games of all fucking time now. i'd hate for them to buy all this shit up and still make average games.

[pretty crack]

omfg, this the worst shit ever
EVER
IM BOYCOTTING EA SPORTS, THIS IS BULLSHIT

HOLLA@989 SPORTS

[Farmer Joe]

wtf, EA is ill..madden is the best football game ever...i could care less about basketball or anything else....

[pretty crack]

shut up fat boy

this is horrible, basketball is doomed, fucking doomed

[hugh brown]

^^^lol maden makes the best football games ever...and i thought it was only 6 years???

[pretty crack]

i just realized it dont matter, they aint buy sega. it'll just be like nba 2k6, just no espn shit going on. It never mattered much anyways, nobody like hearing that shitty ESPN music anyways.

Basicly, the ESPN template is gone from the sega games

[*AtoMZ~Al~PoLE*]

ea makes the absolute worst basketball games ever..... good thing the nba didnt sell their punk asses jack shit.... 2K wont be under ESPN anymore.... next thing you know EA just might try to by the 2K developers

[Anubis-Ra]

I dont really care about anything else... As long as those football games are on point. They should be working with a lot more people now that they bought those ESPN rights, therefore more ideas and shit. They probably were better off joining forces.

When you can't produce a better game, just buy the competition.

[CopyPat]

so does espn do any video games anymore??? cause for hockey EA has wicked graphics but ass gameplay.. espn always had average graphics but sick gameplay.. playin ea just pissed me off cause the moves were stupid, all it made me wanna do was play espn.. Anyways, whats the real deal?

[pretty crack]

ya dont understand


sega will still make its sports titles, but it wont be called shit like espn nnba 2k5, just nba2k5
they gonna lose the espn templates (but the black adn red is weak anyways), i think they lose their announcers, it's basicly making the sega game use a new presentation. Games like NBA Live will now use the ESPN logo and shit on their game.

[CopyPat]

oh, well thats fine than.. as long as espn games don't play like ea games i don't care what it looks like or what its called

[Jeriko]

there won't be any pro football games cept for madden though, Blitz is doin a playmakers type deal, but nobody can use anything from the NFL in their games...i didn't know about the ESPN thing though...thats news to me...

I don't think that they can still use the 2K5 moniker, because that is owned by the Visual Concepts team....And they are part of ESPN........So, Im guessin that EA Sports also owns this..
But anyway, where did u guys find out about EA buyin the ESPN License????
