Coming to a cell phone near you
Sporting News, The, Dec 2, 2005 by Rich O'Malley
Sure, you might claim to love EA Sports' Madden NFL 06. But do you love it enough to leave your cell phone company?
EA and Verizon Wireless are teaming up to offer the entire line of EA Sports' games on mobile phones. Now, true fans have a tough decision to make: Do they stay with their current providers until their contracts are up, or do they succumb to the allure of playing NBA Live on the 8:15 into the city, tear up their contracts and walk into their nearest Verizon stores?

The games are offered as part of Verizon's "Get It Now" package and will work only on V Cast-enabled phones (for the list, go to verizonwireless.com). Currently, Madden is the only EA game offered (although there are other non-EA titles available, such as Bases Loaded and NCAA Football), but Verizon plans to roll out everything from FIFA 06 to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 and, yes, NBA Live. The games cost $6.99 each for unlimited play or $3.49 for a one-month subscription.
