TalkBack / RE: EA Buys Five Years of Exclusive NFL Rights
« on: December 13, 2004, 09:46:21 PM »
Maybe we can finally get a real CFL game? There was only ever one licenced game, and it came out for the PC in like '96 or something.. Too bad it stunk up the joint..
But seriously, why not? Granted, we only have nine teams, but it's still pro football, we supply half of the future NFLers anyways, and the only major rule differences are three downs instead of four, you can score single points on punts and missed field goals, and the field size is different. (Oh, and you get a penalty for objectionable conduct if you take your helmet off on the field
) And it's not like it would be that hard to throw in an option that changes the three downs to four and removes all single point possibilites for you Americans that insist on your NFL rules.
I just think it would be nice to finally have a real CFL game. It's not like companies can't afford it - the CFL can use all the publicity it can get, and it would be more moolah in the teams' pockets at no expense to them.
