Microsoft killed off XSN, and EA agreed to use Xbox Live.
Wouldn't it be nice if Xbox would bring it back? maybe we should start requesting it from MS so maybe they can bring it back.

Especially now that MS has the ball in their court now. Back then it was their first gaming system. They needed EA on there because of how strong EA's brand is. Now that the Xbox brand is well established, they can maybe move in with some sports games.

I doubt that will happen, but given the success you see Sony having with The Show, I'm sure they have given it thought.

It's not always about money. It's about quality control. The fewer people who have rights to your product, the more you can control that product. The NFL has streamlined all of there products over the past decade. Video games are a part of that process as well.

The show is sony's only sports game. they have bombed on all the others.

Football: Gameday was king on the PS1. It bombed on PS2
Hockey: Gretzky Hockey was a disaster
Hoops: They finally cancelled it this year

Agreed but when will the NFL say enough is enough. They can't be happy with the product EA is putting out.

EA is in a position where they need the xbox 360 more then ever. I wonder if many people request it from them, maybe they'll consider it? If you get many people to start requesting it from Xbox would it make a difference?

Yeah, it's hard to fathom how they can make such an unbelieveable game of baseball but do so horrible on everything else.

Sure they are. Madden scores well in the press and sells millions of copies. Furthermore, the NFL gets a flat fee for the license; more sales will not generate more money for the league.

Baseball is in the same boat. The MLB gets X amount of money if 2K10 sells 100,000 copies, or 900,000.
