News > Electronic Arts didn't want NBA exclusivity In a surprising move, Electronic Arts recently had one of its people tell gamesindustry.biz that it actually never made any attempt to obtain exclusive rights to the NBA license. This follows an earlier announcement from IGN that the giant developer/publisher had done precisely that.

According to the Electronic Arts representative, "...the IGN story is wrong - EA has not asked for an exclusive and the NBA has not rejected an EA offer for an exclusive."

It's hard to imagine where IGN would have gotten that idea if the story is indeed wrong. Similarly, it's hard to imagine Electronic Arts lying about such a thing when the NBA could easily chime in and say "Oh yes you did!"

Look for more information on this thrilling set of events as it becomes available. If it does.
