In the past twelve months EA has had to hold its breath. A case was brought against the NFL for its exclusive deal with Reebok in the United States and was upheld. It was seen as a test case for exclusivity deals with the NFL and Reebok lost. EA would have been nervous, but so far it hasn’t touched them and in a small way this is a success for gamers. Why? - EA has raised its game significantly with the potential of new companies getting in on the NFL act yet again.

Madden 11 is so refined, so polished and almost so perfect that it’s hard to see where Tiburon go from here. With exclusivity comes with it responsibility. The NFL trust EA to deliver a quality product that will raise awareness of its brand every year. There is no doubt in the 2011 edition of the product EA has done the NFL proud. Every feature that has been added is something the series has cried out for over a period of time and finally it appears that many of the things we wanted to see in previous generations have been included.
