jbooma Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Without a CBA now then EA does not have rights to the league which means anyone can create an NFL game now and have any one they want on it. This is good news for ESPN and Sega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 doesn't that also mean that ESPN and Sega can't use team names and logo's still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I thought EA had one with the NFL also. For the rights of team liknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamingwolf Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 lets say team names and logos are held back, whats to stop the game makers from allow teams to be edited and having similar but not actual logos available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumodat Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Team names and logos would be available to EA because they have the rights to the NFL. The players names and likeness would not be available unless they received rights from the NFLPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I believe there is still two years remaining on the CBA. The NFL and NFLPA are just renegotiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
