EA and NFL's 15-year-old exclusive deal finally comes to an end

[Bale]

For the first time in the past 15 years, Madden has won competition in the field of football video games. The NFL revealed on Tuesday morning that it was ending a multi-year exclusive agreement with EA in a football game. "Madden" will continue to be produced in cooperation with the NFL, but the NFL also cooperates with 2K Sports, which is a popular "NBA 2K" franchise company.

The new arrangement includes a "multi-year" agreement that includes "future video games," the first of which is expected to come out in 2021. Before the advent of the game, players can still play madden 20 and purchase MUT Coins to gain experience for the next 21.

Football fans and professional critics have complained about "crazy" for years. Since this is the only football game available and is released annually, it often stagnates due to franchises. The announcement on Tuesday of a new partnership between 2K and the NFL is a step forward towards a potential future, with multiple companies competing in the football video game market.

It is worth noting that 2K stated that the game it is creating is a "non-simulated football game experience", described as "a fun, approachable social experience." From such a voice, 2K is unlikely to plan to resume its "NFL 2K" franchise-a direct competitor with "Madden" was killed when EA locked in NFL exclusive rights. 2K and NFL representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Financial terms of the transaction between 2K and the NFL were not disclosed, and it is unclear how long the cooperation will last. The agreement involves "several" games and is expected to be released within a few years.

EA issued the following statement in response to Tuesday's announcement: "EA Sports is the exclusive publisher of NFL simulation games, and our partnership with NFL and NFLPA remains unchanged. Our agreement always allows non-exclusive development on non-NFL simulation games . Our commitment to NFL fans has lasted for nearly 30 years and has never been stronger, and we have ushered in the most brilliant year. Madden NFL 20 is the most successful game in the series, and there are also Superstar and so on. The new model KO and our Madden NFL eSports broadcast are expanding the fan base. In the coming years, we will build more new and different experiences, more platforms and new ways of playing on this momentum. "After the announcement, I think fans will see EA's sincerity, and I think players can Buy MUT Coins to lay the foundation for the next 21. My suggestion about this product is to buy at Gamems, their website is trustworthy.
