EA snags NFL
December 22, 2004 9:49 AM   Subscribe

For years, TV networks have triumphed their securing of exclusive broadcast rights for various sports leagues. Breaking into the next level, software maker Electronic Arts has just signed an exclusive deal with the NFL. For the next five years, EA will be the only software company with rights to NFL teams, players, and stadiums for video games. So, if you were a fan of any football game other then the Madden series, you might not be getting new versions anytime soon.
