Virtual Jam boss Pernell Harris filed suit in San Mateo Superior Court on 28th November, alleging that he met with Electronic Arts two years ago, and discussed his idea for a game in which users take control of a young football player, choose his parents, guide his career and make lifestyle choices for him, reports Reuters.
Madden NFL 06, released in August, includes a “Superstar mode” which allows players to create their own NFL athlete and control his career.
A spokeswoman from Electronic Arts has denied the claims.
