Remember ESPN football and EA Sports MVP etc?

The story goes that, in retaliation for EA buying the exclusive license for making NFL games, 2K bought an exclusive 3rd party license for MLB games (thus why Sony was still able to put out The Show).

And that also killed EA MVP right? That game was great (before The Show set a new standard)

Yeah...EA's product was a third party title so it could no longer be made under the agreement.

They tried shifting to college baseball but that ended up folding too.

The Show being a console exclusive makes it hard to match Madden.

The Show is a lot higher quality product in 2015 than Madden is.

I was just talking sales, but this year is the first one that I've looked through the previews for it and felt like it was nothing more than a roster update.
