NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

I refuse to believe any of these sources. Why? Because I have been disappointed about this time and time again. Best of course of action is to not believe anything, until I hear it from the horses mouth.

"California Chrome wins the Triple Crown!....and....What did he just say?...California Chrome just announced NFL 2K coming to next gen consoles! Is this real life?!?!?"

Move the goalposts enough times and you're bound to eventually be right. Next up, E3.

FYI: In October I'm going to start a "College Hoops Will Return" rumor ... hey, us little youtube channels gotta eat too! haha

Nah, seriously ... I hope this happens but you see, the way those 2K servers are set up ...

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

So this Sim Football Critic guy has a "very reliable source" or heard it from someone who has a "very reliable source?"

I don't mean to sound negative, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

If true, exciting news for the football gaming community.

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

I want 2k back as much as the next guy.. Hell I still have a tiny bit of hope that something crazy does happen at e3 only because EA is sketchy with the exclusive stuff. But These guys just make this stuff up to get views and subscribers.

Also he said in his video that 2k is gonna be "presenting" a game to the nfl. If anyone knows anything about E3. It's a show to consumers about games that are coming out. This guy made it sound like a proposal video. Unless 2k and the nfl have an agreement, there will be no trailer for a game.

NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

From what I read back in January somewhere 2K was bringing two games to E3 that had not been in their line up for awhile. Can't find article and honestly didn't really take it as truth at the time. But really hope I was wrong. Not getting my hope up though. Guess we will find out June 10th

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

Hopes have been crushed too many times when it comes to football gaming for this past decade. Until I see actual proof that 2k is making a new game, this means absolutely nothing. Speculation is always fun though, especially around this time of the year.

Hopefully this is true. Even if it is, we don't know that 2k would still be able to produce a good football game. Either way, competition is always a good thing for the consumer.

Hopefully it is true.

I completely understand skepticism towards this rumor but not so much the implications of Simfball doing this as a publicity stunt. I don't know of anytime that he has done anything of the sort and he has been doing Youtube videos, among other things, like being in the EA Game Changer program, online radio host, etc, for some time now. Not vouching for him personally because I don't know him but just wondering what the basis is, if any, for those implications.

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

Despite the skepticism we all really want a 2K game to happen. We're just making jokes because we've been speculating a new NFL 2K game for a very long time now. Trust me if it happens my mind will explode from the sheer joy of the announcement. I'm sure many others on this forum share that same sentiment.

Oh no doubt and I wasn't referring to the jokes about "sources", etc but to the posts implying there is nothing to this except Youtube hits. I wasn't sure if I had missed something where Simfball had floated a rumor like this in the past, that didn't pan out. I know HipHop Gamer and others had been floating various rumors and conjecture for some time but this was the first I had heard of Simfball weighting in on it in such a way.

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

2k showing the NFL "what it can do" would not happen in Public. That would be in a private meeting, not at E3. I seriously doubt 2K can show a game in June and ship in late August.
IF 2k is going to make a licensed football game, it would not be until next year (August 2015). They may show something........at E3, but it wouldn't ship this year.

Then again, this is a Rumor. The NFL would put strict terms on 2k because of the whole NFL 2k5 pricing sneak attack. That is the reason they lost the license in the first place, selling the game at $19.99 and undercutting Madden by $30 at the time. NFL did not like losing that revenue.

^This.

The idea that 2K would show a trailer to the NFL at E3 is absurd. They would make a formal pitch to the NFL in a board room and show the trailer or whatever else they wanted to show them there.

Nothing would make me happier than to see some competition but until news breaks that 2K has signed a contract with the NFL to design a football game it's all wishful thinking.

Re: NFL 2k COMEBACK? License not exclusive?

For the next 2 weeks...I'm gonna let my hopes get up. What the heck...why not!

If there is no game then there is no game. Not getting excited about the rumors won't change that.

If there is a game, then my excitement starts early!


1.) EA (nor the NFL) specifies that the license is still exclusive...

2.) Unlike previous rumor cycles, this one seems to be gaining momentum among those in the football gaming community who actually closely follow - and even obsess over - this stuff.

3.) The possibilities brought by a new console generation...after all, I was not expecting to get APF 2k8 on the PS3/360.

4.) The whole "face scan" rumor...

5.) We've waited sooooo long...
