Take Two is standing up to EA. In what maybe a shot heard 'round the world in the world of videogames, EA has lost a battle. Well, almost.
Takje Two annouced today that they have agreed, in principal, to an exclusive deal with the MLB Player's Association. The deal is complicated, and roughly inlvolves the folllowing:
-Only the player rosters would, in theory, be exclusive, as the MLB is not part of the deal.This would mean that they (EA) could publish an MLB game, but not with the likeness of any real players.
-This deal allows first-party publishers (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) to still publish games.
-The deal does not start untill 2006....so a MVP Baseball 2005 is going to still come.
-It currently isn't set in stone. This could all change.
I will buy any product thats trying to give the stiff arm to EA.
