Report: Retired NFL Players Plan to Sue EA, Madden
15
His days of calling NFL games on T.V. may be over, but John Madden's retirement might not be as idyllic as he had hoped.
According to a report on former Oakland Raiders lineman Dave Pear's Blog, NFL retirees are planning to go after Madden and Electronic Arts, publisher of the best-selling pro football game which bears the former coach's name.

It's clear that MAdden personnally asked for the retired players to be screwed, he most likely also asked the association to block T2 ahh, and he most surely also the cause of all cancers.

They'll probably get something out of this but i'm guessing it'll be a settlement.

4 - Stick it to EA on Madden any way they can.
I'm surprised they didn't go after them in the original suit. And while they got 28 million out of the players association, who didn't really get much from the deal, they are going to make a killing off of EA and Madden. It's a shame that he could sit in that both talking with admiration about those players and stab them in the back all the while. They should be able to get between 200 and 300 million from EA and Madden. And they should. A lot of these players get screwed on their pensions and could use the money. I wish the former players luck.

Even if Ea did screw these guys over, (which they didn't really, they just inappropriately used their images kinda sorta, screwed implies malice) John Madden had nothing to do with it. He most likely didn't even know about the historical teams.

Kinda crappy logic. You would think that retired NFL players are happily retired and rich. No one cares if their likeness is used in Madden or even aware for that matter. I dislike EA as much or more than the next person, but it seems pretty desperate for ex-NFL players to sue. Perhaps the rest of the players took notice after the last settlement of 28 million. Hmm...

I think it's more the older players that are complaining, theres a lot of those guys who are broke physically and financially.

2 - Good and please NFL cancel their freakin liscense
Ive seen how Madden 09 (i mean 10) looks and it looks like the same horrible game.. At least its starting to look more like football but sure as heck doesnt play anything like football..
They were talking aout procedural awareness in their blog and I couldnt help but think cant they just make the frigin guy stop running out of bounds first? Then once they have that done lets work on this thing called, can field goals have any type of gameplay element added? In 09 you could literally snap the ball and do nothing and score every time... FUN.
After you fix that lets teach my QB how to throw the ball and why we are at it, why do you make MY team suck so bad? Its not MY fault in real life they suck that bad.. I know you want to keep stats real and what not but do you know what its like to play this game with a crappy team? So everyone ditches their team and picks Brady Randy Moss who else!
Next lets teach defenders that Randy Moss is NEVER ALLOWED TO RUN DOWN THE MFin FIELD ALONE... EVER.... EVER... EVER... And by ALONE I MEAN TRIPLE COVERED... In other words why cant I call my OWN plays?
Next we move on to glitches! ok me running through the wall the first time was sorta funny, 6 months later? Not so much.
Next... QUITERS... DIE!!!! (have 360 version)
Next.. Pre Snap stuff... What have you done... Do you know how many adjustments i have to make at the line just to run the play or defense the play to my liking? Im not sure if this is fun or not but leads me to...
DEFENSE TIME... Ok seriously can you give me enough time so I can actually pick a good play OR fix your menus which leads me to
MENUS, what in the god green earth did you create? Have you not looked around the rest of the world and seen how beautiful things can be? Going through the menus in this game is worse then the game itself. Why doesnt it flow? I do like 2 things when I play madden. Go online or practice..
Yes im sure. Im absolutely sure. Im so sure I WANT TO QUIT. This needs to stop, why am I asked double whenever I try to accomplish anything?
Saving, what exactly were you going after with this? Multiple saves for multiple parts of the game, for multiple accounts with multiple clones of people attached to those accounts for multiple other side accounts... WTF just save the F game.. SAVe done. Save done. See? Not do I want to save this but not this and that and this and a, daddy mack will make you jump jump! NO just save the game!
Im done fix this. Or I will continue to buy and be pist off and rant everytime because its WRONG. You bought the liscense and you make a horrible game GREAT FUN FOR THE REST OF US... If you want to spam out your title thats your right but let someone else use the stupid logos so we can enjoy football instead of the Aligators vs the Snozzberries.
I hate you EA I hate you deeply like a paper cut... A deep paper cut.. One in the middle of your finers... I hope you all get one tomorow and then thing of me! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhh
