Pernell Harris Sues EA over Features in Madden 06

December 2, 2005 at 11:37 am - by Dale Dietrich

Harris claims that EA is in breach of an “implied in fact contract” and a confidentiality agreement by using his idea for the NFL Superstar mode in the game without compensation. The mode allows the gamer to take day-to-day control of an NFL player both on and off the field. He says the idea stems from a confidential pitch he made to EA in 2004.
