Electronic Arts continued its pursuit of football dominance for 2005 today, with the announcement that it has entered an exclusive agreement with the Arena League Football organization. Under the agreement, EA will produce a brand new series of games over the next four years -- with the first title in the series being finished in time for the 2006 AFL season.
