I mean for a developer you get more money, the sponsors get their name out and as long the ads don't impede on the gameplay, its a win-win-win. But how people react by who does what... Plus, I would like to point out how you told of that guy who told gamers to oh so delicately 'Play the Game and Shut Up'. How can they just pass an insult like that off as nothing? But when the EA CEO says 'games are becoming too repetitive', non Madden gamers along with 2k fans have prime material to use to rip EA. Yeah I can see both’s actions.

I agree about the double-standard, although in this case I think it was silly that it was even an issue with NCAA so I don't think it should be a discussion with APF. You're right though that its no surprise that NCAA got heat for that and probably no one will bother to bring APF's up. I don't have a problem with the way either game has their sponsored achievements. Its not like they went out and got paid to have the achievements named. They are called these things in the games.

I really have no problem with this except that there is no fury over the 'sponsorship'of achievements for 2k compared to what EA has done. Everybody remembers Pontiac and Old Spice sponsoring NCAA 08 and its decision to have their achievements sponsored. As usual it was dissed and even mention of a boycott hung around the air around the Kotaku blogs. Yet when 2k does it... I am just starting to hate these double standards. Anybody else?
