Haven't they been sued before for anti-competitive practices? Didn't go anywhere.

Would be nice, but I think EA's second, third and fourth assertions protect them. If the owners of the license put rights up for bid, why shouldn't companies attempt to win the exclusive rights? They're wrong in that there's no discreet market for licensed football sims and that consumers weren't harmed by the exclusive license in EA's possession (i don't play NFL sims any more because of that).

They might also be wrong in that they never charged "supra-competitive" prices because of exclusivity, since 2K was charging $20 for 2k5, but Madden was still at the regular price for new games at that time, so that will probably favor them.
