Will lack of CBA affect Madden 12 release?

[Montsta]

First, before you spout off, if you don't like or care about Madden then fug off because I made it clear in the title what this thread was about.

With that out of the way, will a lockout or lack of a CBA effect the upcoming years Madden installment? This is the first year I haven't played Madden online because of the ridiculous fee, but I'm gonna break down and pay if I don't get a new Madden this year. Anybody know how this works, because the game is licensed by the NFL and NFLPA both? Does it even matter?

Why would it? They will just slap 12 on last years game. oh wait, they do that already.

its the off season, at least its something different than cam newton

it is possible that it could. for a long while, the LB arrington wasn't in the game due to issues with the NFLPA. they may not allow for the likenesses in it unless they already have a deal worked out with EA for that would encompass this season

If Cam Newton isn't on the cover of Madden and NCAA, EA is racist.

I'm pretty sure the NFLPA has to sign off on video games, so I believe it would either have to look like NCAA (No names) or it wont be released.

They should put JR in as a Historic player with a Pie Chart Jersey on. Every time he sacks Manning it will be a PF ruffing the Players Association.

No Madden because of the CBA?! Man this just keeps getting worse.

madden sucked hard this past year, and I am a huge madden slurper. I honestly won't be upset if it doesn't come out due to the utter shite they put out this year.

No kidding. And have you seen Ron Riveras likeness? He looks like Dave Wannstedt(sp?). Has a mustache and all. WTF?

So if no Madden is released, it will bankrupt EA for sure and open the door to 2K games getting the NFL license back. So some silver lining perhaps?

Did you even play the newe Madden or just watch a commercial? Removing turbo from the normal gameplay was one of the biggest changes in the Madden series in a long time. This game was one of the biggest changes from year to year than any I can remember. Ok... my nerd post of the day is complete.

I don't play Madden anymore.

In this year's mode, you get to be a player at the table in negotiations with the owners and you all get to complain about how little you're paid and then everybody gets to leave in their Bentley. If you click the wrong option, JR will offer to help you read a revenue chart.
