Sega Sports in Big Trouble

With this signing I think Sega Sports is in big trouble...Who else is out there for Sega Sports to sign with? And what does EA plan to do next to secure a gaming monopoly...

Sega doesn't have to sign with anyone, they can still make their games, just without the ESPN logos/interface

Last year EA didn't have anyone signed for their NHL game. It was purely theirs, with no broadcasting companies anywhere to be seen. All this allows EA to use the logo, and announcers.

IMO sega sports is in trouble, but not because of this. They are struggling anyways.

Yeah they could just use their own setup that’s true, however for me at least especially in the NFL 2K5 game was how it like watching ESPN football with the half time reports and what not. I think its a big lose not having ESPN on board. But I guess I don’t have to worry about my NFL 2k5 anymore anyway since EA bought the NFL’s rights too.
