Gamasutra briefly discusses the tiff between EA, Take-Two Interactive and the ever-important rights to the NHLPA. EA landed a deal with the NHLPA that was exclusive, aside from the rights of the console's own first party titles. Then, frustrated NHL execs who preferred multiple licensees (more money, right?) were displeased. So, all three companies went back to the drawing board and are trying to find an amicable solution.

This is all over the NHL. You know, the sports league that was gone for a year and no one cared?
