I was pretty miffed when I read about this, but it's not a great shock. I've played Madden off and on since the early 90's, so it's not like I don't enjoy the games(besides bugs, and things like the broken online functions on the Wii version).
I still think having competition is important for Madden. 2K5 trumped Madden 05 in my opinion, so it was sad to see it come to an end right after that.
I think these exclusive deals for sports is a load of crap. I don't see why anyone like the NFL or MLB would want to change the way their sports were made into games, at least not like this. You're putting all of your eggs in one basket by doing this. And it will never help the game carrying your name get better.
