No Parcells?
I couldn't find Bill Parcells listed under the Dallas playbook. Is there a reason behind this?
shareYes, Parcells wanted more money to have his name in the game, EA didnt offer it so thus why hes not in it.
shareNot exactly right....
Parcells was not part of the NFL coaches union when EA negotiated rights for the game, thus his name and likeness was not included. Historically EA Sports has not made a habit of negotiating with individuals for name/likeness rights thus if you are not a part of the union you dont make it into the game.
Of course the same thing happens to players from time to time. Lavar Arrington was listed as "ROLB #56" and you'll not see Barry Bonds in many, if any, baseball games.
shareyep, not sure exactly what the deal is with Barry or Lavar specifically but generally it has to do with the unions. It often happens in Madden with first year rookies who may not have made it into the union by the time that the game was liscensed.
