Since they now have a monopoly, halting progression is also a good business move. Why spend money to improve graphics or insert additions to gameplay when they could just update the roster and be done with it?

Huh?
So your assuming they wont update anything? Which would be stupid, because then people wouldnt buy it, because there would be no reason to.
And I prefer EA anyways. I bought both ESPN 2K5, and NHL 2005, and EA's game is better by far. Graphics wise, and play wise. It feels more like a real hockey game when I watch it. The sounds, the looks, and the clips.
Yes, in fact, I would rather they got rid of all other competators (Except NFL Blitz, I plan on buying that game soon now because their wont be more), because this just means people will stop their bitching and comparing of games on release dates. At least the bitching about EA buying rights will stop in a month or so.
And No sports game really improves radically year to year. They improve, yes, radically, no. Most of it is just better rendered images, updated soundtrack (In EA's case) and rosters.
But I love EA, who cares if they monopolize things, I dont. I like their games, I have no problem with it.
