Damn my EA boycott, this sounds interesting although I think the real motiviation is EA/Virgin getting a lot of $10 fees from people who try and fail to get six wins in a row, which can be rather difficult.

Six straight online is pretty difficult. Fumbling on a kickoff or dropped passes... some games are just very hard to pull off. They could definitely make a ton of money by people reentering after they lose...

Which I would... so I'll just save my $10. But cool for the many that are better than me at Madden.

Pretty smart racket, it basically isn't going to cost Virgin anything, other than running costs. If you buy your way in with $400, and say 1,000 take that route, that's their $400k back right there.

But It's more profitable for them if people go the competitive route - to win six games in a row, that 6 level bracket will leave behind 63 losers who got eliminated, at $10 a pop, that's $640 including you.

And Hockey isn't easier, there's just less interest, sheesh.

@Dizazter
No, NHL 12 would be easier since there isn't severe catch-up AI and RNG up the wazzoo...

Did anyone else think a tournament was being held for virgin gamers at first-glance?

Wow, two things that finally go together. Virgins, and video gaming.
