With breaking news of Michael Vick joining the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2 year deal what does that mean for the EA's Madden franchise. The first year of the deal is for $1.6 million with an option for the second year at $5.2 million. Our question for EA is when will we expect to see Michael Vick on the active roster for Madden 10? Or should we?
Luke looks at the most influential features of Madden on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Since the Super Bowl is this Sunday, GamerU is celebrating by revisiting their Madden NFL themed Top 10 list. Today, they're taking another look at the Top 10 instances that players have fallen victim to the infamous “Madden Cover Curse.”
A jury in U.S. District Court today ruled in favor of Robin Antonick, the original designer and developer of Electronic Arts’ (NASDAQ: EA) best-selling Madden NFL Football games.
ouch, how many millions do EA owe Robin Antonick?
$200 million in revenues for games released between 1990 and 1996
Damages relating to 1997-2013 games will be tried in a subsequent phase of the trial. (I suspect $600 million more, just averaging out)
That is ALOOOT OF MONEY
EA is going to have to compensate 800 million dollar's worth!. Who wants to bet the next big EA title would be pay to win?
Antonick might be seeing hundreds of millions of dollars with this.
DLC
It's not even "DLC." It's just the regular roster updates that madden has had for YEARS.
Why the hell is this even a story? Players change teams/unretire/etc all the time. It'll take EA roughly 2 seconds to put him in Madden via Roster Updates. There's not exactly a controversy here.
the writer just wanted to be one of the first to talk about the news of Vick going to the Eagles....and this was a lame attempt to get the news out. I don't remember last year's Madden cover been considered a bust....and this really is no different than last minute roster changes as a result of performance during preseason games.
I hate having to restart a franchise because the rosters are wrong.
P.S. Its really annoying that there charging $10 for the online franchise & all those other things that let you cheat.
