So $400 million on a US only feature? Going by the $1 billion on the 15 first year exclusives we could have another 6 games instead of this.


$400 million over 5 years. I think they'll have another batch of exclusives year 2, maybe not 15 though!!


Ah ok, that's a lot less bad. They should throw in a bonus exclusive for EU though, right now we are missing out.

Yeah it's $400,000,000 over 5 years for "a US only feature". But that also happens to be the biggest region in gaming, and MS's biggest region. So it makes sense. Just like it made sense for Sony's $300,000,000+ FIFA deal. They are big in Europe. It is their biggest region. I wonder if there is a thread for that deal, and how many of the people in here crapping on this move were applauding that smart move by Sony.



lol what a bunch of retards. NFL is sooooooooooooo popular in the rest of the world

Sarcasm? Most of my brothers friends watch it over AFL, (Australian football league) the most dominant sport here in Australia, as does my girlfriends father, though he enjoys AFL more.

I can't imagine it being too different elsewhere. I'll probably show the feature to both of them, if possible.

Wait what !? Elsewhere as in the rest of the world !? Because surely nobody cares about the NFL in Europe , Africa and Asia that's for sure  ...

It's difficult to tell, I'm in my situation and you're in yours. Our social circle is basically all we know for sure. You could be way off, as could I.

Though, don't be too sure about Europe. http://www.nfluk.com/tickets-events/nfl-wembley



I'm English and have never watched or care about the NFL so personally i can't really have an opinion on wether to not its worth it.
from a gamers standpoint i still have no opinion as its nothing to do with gaming.

haha Thank you man :D



You do realize that England is not all of Europe ... And these commercial games are nothing more than what they are , trying to spread the word ... the NFL is still irrelevant in the face of other sports in Europe , the UK included .  Part of it because of time-zones ....
