NFL Players Scanned For 2K Eco-Motion? EA's exclusive NFL License is up in 2014

[Ice Water]

This would be epic, and I hope it's true.

Oh shyt!!!!!!!!!!

2k hoops passed Madden by in sales on next gen. I kno the Nfl has to see this. NFL kills the NBA in everything when it comes to popularity & revenue. So for them to see that 2k outsold madden. I kno NFL execs are like get it together EA

The combo of EA & 360 stunted Maddens growth.

thats gotta be a blow to the massive ego that EA sports has had regarding madden for the past few decades.

speaking of madden, the next gen version didn't even look any different than the current gen version. I was shocked they had to audacity to even try to pass that shyt off as next gen.

the players association is very fine with madden tho, this is from March 2013
yeah they looking around because now they want options, but Madden has been 1 of their best partners according to them

Q: George, I wanted to ask you about the madden exclusive license. Do you plan to end this soon? The the 9-yr exclusive license ends this year and the fans are sick and tired of not having a choice of picking a nfl game to play. Madden is becoming stale and the community wants 2k sports to have a chance to make video games again. Nfl 2k5 was the best representation of the nfl to this date…. Please make this happen Mr. Atallah. Thanks for your time
Atallah: We have an agreement with EA and Madden. I have heard some opinions like yours, but honestly, EA is one of our best partners. I know they hear some of your input as well and work to improve the game every year.
Q: Sorry Mr. Atallah, but I will not purchase another ea nfl licensed game until the consumers are ale to have a choice again. The consumers should be in your best interest sir.
Atallah: I’m sorry to hear that. One thing to clarify though, my job and the job of the NFLPA, is to ensure that the players’ interests are top priority. I know that might not be the most popular answer, but it’s our mission.

Considering how trash APF2K was I'm not excited

[Klyk21]

so basically still just rumors and wishful thinking

As always.

Smh this is on some Tupac shyt.

I'm pretty sure they are negotiating behind the scenes. They can use Madden's ratings over the year as ammo as well as point to 2K's hoops ratings. EA doesn't want to cut the same check anymore esp now considering that Madden isn't the system seller it once was.

Yeah, the gameplay was there, but you def need the license (at least the players license which i think is very attainable).
