EA Conquers College Football
by Alec Matias, Apr 11, 2005 6:35am PDTAnother sport has gone exclusive to Electronic Arts. The Collegiate Licensing Company and Electronic Arts agreed to a six year deal that gives EA exclusive videogame publishing rights for college football, starting with NCAA Football 2006. No financial numbers were disclosed.
"When we began our analysis of the videogame landscape, it became apparent that EA SPORTS was best positioned from a marketing and development perspective to maximize the sales opportunities for college football," said Pat Battle, CEO of The Collegiate Licensing Company. "Electronic Arts has been a tremendous partner, and we are thrilled that the EA SPORTS team has renewed its commitment to the college market. We look forward to seeing how EA will continue to grow its NCAA Football franchise through innovative game play, unique marketing programs and its dedicated sales force."

Just to play devil's advocate here, how about waiting to see what happens before making a decision as to whether or not this is good or bad? I understand that competition breeds innovation. But the opportunity to take chances is there if no one is waiting to take money out of your pocket if it doesn't work. I, like the most of you, are worried that the snapping up of licenses will just lead to EA shovelling out marginal updates year after year (as it's been for a while). While I don't expect major changes with the 2006 sports titles, I'm anxious to see what the next-gen and '07 titles are going to look like.
If EA fucks this up, I'm going to be REALLY pissed.

Smart business move really... they can get rid of a bunch of those bitchy developers now that are always asking to work less hours for more money.

Somebody hop in the "way back" machine, travel back in time and destroy EA before it ever gets started. Thanks.
