Generally though, I am opposed to this trend that both companies have of buying exclusivity in a certain sport.. It seems Sega is looking to get MLB exclusivity, and regardless of what sport is affected, it's bad for the consumer IMO.

I agree with you whole heartedly, doesn't mean I like EA sports any more for it. They already own liscenses for the NFL, NASCAR, FIFA, and the AFL.
I'm personally sticking to college football games now anyway. Still I do commend EA for having the ability to get their hands on the exclusive rights. However, grabbing the EPSN liscense sounds like nothing other than a big "F You" to Sega and Visual Concepts. (No one wonder Sega is selling the developer to Take Two Interactive.)
Congrats again to EA for out bidding everyone else, but I'm one person that's never planning to buy another one of their sports titles again. I hope my resolve can extend to non sports titles as well
