It would trounce Madden and EA. Madden and EA would be left to the casuals.

And the casuals far outweigh the sim crowd so no, Madden would not be trounced.


That being said, I don't think the initial goal is to beat Madden in sales. They can't realistically expect that to happen.

If they want success they will have to build to it with a solid base.

Unless this is a very early image of the game, or a trick, I think the NFL license dream can be put to rest for another year.

Just look at the intricacies of the screenshot. For example, the Joe Montana logo on the helmet. It reminds me of the APF logo on the helmet in APF 2k8. The helmets are very strange and unlike NFL helmets, so are the cleats.

I'm not discouraged, though. I'm excited for this game and the idea of it. I hope it brings plenty of customization. But Damon just retweeted a yahoo article about the game, in which it stated this very likely isn't an NFL game, and couldn't be unless it was on PC because EA still has the console license.

Here's the link for said article: http://news.yahoo.com/joe-montana-fo...dVjk0AsJknnIlQ

Like others have said, this doesn't have to be NFL licensed right away. Let the game build a strong foundation first and then present it to the NFL come game time.

As for the screenshot, this was like getting your friend to break up with your girlfriend for you.

I still have hope it's NFL licensed, if not, I hope its highly customizable.

I honestly don't care if it's ever their goal to beat madden in sales as long as the game is good and gets enough to make more editions.

In fact, I hope it's true that this game comes out in July when ncaa used to so madden fans can still opt to grab this and play for a month to a month and a half before madden 16 drops. Then they can get their madden on and still help this new franchise too.

If it comes out on PC...we can make it NFL!!!

Jake Locker confirmed in the game.

lol, funny

Yeah the more I look at it, the more I see a more futuristic or arena looking thing. Also how true is the PC thing, I thought madden had everything except mobile. Price must be outrageous for 2k not to invest in that, also wish 2k never ever said "we don't want to ruin our chances on a future nfl title". They need to release something and let us decide what to so with it

I think people, in general, are hungry for a new football game. When news broke of another possible football title, it made the front page of reddit in less than an hour.

The game's best route to success would be to create a viable alternative in terms of gameplay to Madden. Build off of a small but consistent group of buyers (as NBA 2K did back in the day) and let the product speak for itself. Sooner or later, when your game starts popping up with solid reviews all over the place, you will create a name for yourself.

As a consumer, this is a win pretty much no matter how you look at it. We needed competition, and maybe this will provide it.

Re: Joe Montana Football 16: First In-Game Screenshot?

Damon said there would be something soon coming out that would make the game more clearer and then he said it will make it unclear too.

I like what I see, still some more questions need answered.

Just curious, where you getting that from? Twitter or something else?
And was that statement made before this screenshot was released or after?

Re: Joe Montana Football 16: First In-Game Screenshot?

To me that would mean it's clearer because it's a console game and what's sorta unclear is the license.

How is that unclear?

Why would they release a picture of the game...but using uniforms that no team uses? Are you telling me that they couldn't take the time to render an actual NFL jersey?

Christ on a cracker, guys, there is not an NFL licence with this game.

Re: Joe Montana Football 16: First In-Game Screenshot?

Well maybe they can't say there is a license, because they haven't said who the developer is. Maybe that was an ultimate team screen shot. Why are they being so secretive about all this information?

[un4gettable fire]

Re: Joe Montana Football 16: First In-Game Screenshot?

This looks promising. What I believe is that there should be a decent contender with Madden for us sim guys.

If this game really does have a good franchise mode, if will be a buy from me. On PC? even better. The real icing on the cake would it being very customizable. I'm feeling more confident about the potential of this game.

Hey man, that's fine. Don't let an ******* like me tell you what to believe in.

I'm pretty sure they aren't being secretive. It's just a ploy to get everyone interested.

But I'm 100000% sure that this game has literally 0 NFL licence.
