Perfect example of "Pop shyt and apologize"

[Slystallion]

is the nfl selling exclusivity or was the rumor that EA felt the price wasn't worth it and thus the NFL may allow more than one company to use its license?

 

[Stress Welker]

Allowing more than one company to make NFL Games is what I take from it. Would still have to pay the NFL to make a game for them. At what cost, I do not know.

2K is so overrated its retarded. Game was goat, then they had to adjust because Madden on PS2 had this 3D look to it
2K tried to counter, and the game turned into ass imo

I'm not saying they couldn't have evolved from there. But if NBA2K is any indication?
Isn't most 2K gamers complaining about how the basketball game isn't improving.. its regressing really

So having even less resources since they would have to focus on NFL as well. I think 2K Football would be some shyt if they never left.
2K Football wasn't on the same level as 2KNBA in terms of
So there is no reason to assume it would have improved for the better

He realizes that it would take 2K atleast 3 years to get a football game up to the level of Madden

I knew it was apparent that the exclusive license was no longer after it wasn't announced around the time of the super bowl, and all EA would say is that they still have an NFL license. Not an exclusive one...

2k needs to get their head out of their asses and focus on expanding their sports library in general. It's only so long you can milk your cash cow in NBA 2K with the "virtual currency" bullshyt....

Given how big the NFL is (despite Madden's failure to grow the market), there's absolutely no reason why multiple companies couldn't eat, especially 2K just off of reputation, and the pageantry that surrounds their football made 2 gens ago. Not to mention the people such as myself who would buy it just because it isn't Madden.....

Get focused 2K, and get that NFL money.

[Rico]

Its easy to call them out when they know the license is exclusive.

 

[mozichrome]

it'll probably take 6 months to get pass Madden. Come on, we're talking about Madden here. These nikkas are the laziest developers in the industry
