Midway makes sports games based on licensed teams. I think it would be fair grounds to discuss how our favorite current teams are doing as long as we do not go out that subject. After all Midway has the license for the teams so no legal grounds would clash heads at Midway Legal Dept. What do you all think?

To my knowledge, the only professional league Midway has any game deals with is the NBA.

NHL they haven't had or at least used for a couple of years.
MLB expired last year and won't even be able to get again until Take2's deal ends.
NFL they haven't had for couple years and won't for several more until EA's deal ends if they even decide to pursue it again.

Basketball is my favorite sport and then that would give me a chance to talk about the Pistons and the Finals so it dont bother me that the only deal is with the NBA.


How come we have MLB icons of team logos but no NBA team logos?

I would like a Pistons logo for an Icon praying

But when all is said and done we're here to talk about games anyway so let's just keep it at that.

Why? Real men play sports.

Only off topic if you do not keep the discussion relevant to the game. If not, then what's to keep us from having a religion based discussion due to the variety of divine and supernatural beings in the Mortal Kombat universe, or a political discussion due to the storyline in PsyOps (did I spell that right?)
