So basically no NFL 2K until 2027, but companies are free to make NFL Street games if they want to It's embarrassing how much 2K punked EA so bad that they had to spend hundreds of millions to keep them away from competition, when it would've been much easier to just make a better game for a cheaper price i.e NFL 2K5.

The NFL was upset that 2K5 was sold for $20 because it was devaluing their brand . They decided to make the license exclusive for quality control purposes and EA won the bid because Madden is the most popular NFL game.

And how has the quality of Madden been? Because it seems to me that people only buy it now because it's the only football game around. They bought the license because 2K sold for cheaper and had better reviews than Madden 05.

That's not true. That's what EA pitched.
