The NFLPA is supposed to represent all NFL players, past and present. Current players are getting compensated for being in Madden through the NFLPA. Past players should have been too. That is why the NFLPA was sued and lost.
(This sounds eerily similar to the health care thing that the retired players have been complaining about.)
EA is now getting sued because they were basically the accomplice of the NFLPA. They tried to cover up the fact that they were using the info of retired players.
Suing Madden himself does seem like a stretch. I doubt he has any knowledge of what goes on with this game. If he knew about this, though...
As for your last paragraph, the NFL is highly competitive, so I have no clue what you are talking about. There are plenty of legends in the game. Joe Montana, Jim Brown, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Steve Young, Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, Dan Marino, and Jerry Rice just to name a few.
