EA SPORTS + ESPN = PARTNERS
First, the NFL signs an exclusive licensing deal with EA Sports.
Now, ESPN will be featured on the EA Sports games, effective in 2006.
I've enjoyed the ESPN sports titles from SEGA and Visual Concepts over the past few months (NFL 2K5, NHL 2K5, NBA 2K5, and College Hoops 2K5). Even with the price of $19.99 for each of these games, all four games are solid. I've played the hell out of College Hoops 2K5 since Christmas. Major League Baseball 2K5 will be out soon, so I can't wait to play that game.
But as of 2006, it's all EA Sports.
I can only hope that EA Sports doesn't get complacent in the coming years, although that is very unlikely.
