Midway Fine with NFL Split

JoeyPea writes "As seen on the front page of The Futon Critic and mentioned in this IGN article, Midway Games is apparently fine with EA's exclusive rights contract with the NFL. The complaints on the last Blitz were that there wasn't enough unecessary roughness that the franchise was previously known for. But now it looks like there won't be any pansy hits because of the NFL's licensing rules. The Blitz: Playmakers write-up mentions drug use and off-the-field habits, so perhaps you can expect more realism from Midway without the NFL's license."

Mutant League Football?!

[Necromutant]

Well, not the original, it was a EA game if I remember correctly, but I would love to see a similar football game for the current systems... or a parody of the NFL as mentioned for that matter. The standard sports games have become pretty stale in my opinion so I would love some variation that just made fun of football stereotypes, had mutant player and let you design your own players! Go for it Sega/ESPN!
