nice to see such a clear answer, especially because I too thought the SI partnership was a good one. It really came down to the Sega deal, which I did worry about when it was announced.

two things I never like seeing in our little niche genre of sports games:

1. merger/partnerships with large entities like Sega. Larger companies have to be much more careful in what they do

2. exclusive deals like the MLB/2K or NFL/EA ones - lack of competition is never good for the end consumer.
