I was not and am not holding out hope for a 2k game. I knew it wasn't happening. I just think Rex not being aware of the sensationalism of HHG and playing into it doesn't look good on his part. The community on the other hand knew of his sensationalism. Why would anyone, when you knew he was as sensational as they come, believe even an ounce of what he was saying? Why?

Exactly. I had zero hope for 2k coming back. You never want to say never, but we all knew what it was.

The thing is for me it's not about 2k coming back. I just want a quality football game. I couldn't care less who made the game.

Re: EA Still Owns the NFL License Exclusively

Right.....because NBA Live did SO well against NBA 2K. Which is why NBA Live is the best, most critically acclaimed basketball game now, and has been for the past decade. Imagine if EA had exclusive rights to the NBA.........Just ponder on that for a minute. It would sell like hot cakes, just like Madden, solely due to the brand name. Yet, there would be people talking about how great NBA Live is, and how people want a perfect game. But you know what, if EA holds the rights forever, the people to blame for them still selling units, is US. Because as a whole keep buying it, and supporting it. We get what we pay for. Until people stop buying it (which lets be honest, won't ever happen) we will always get mediocre NFL football.

Not true. I haven't purchased Madden in years. Which brings up the question, why do so many knowingly continue to support something they love to complain about. Stop buying it and spend time with other things.

You're forgetting the crowd that is well beyond "us," the crowd that cares more about how the game plays.

Unfortunately there is a larger group and demographic of customers that do not at all care about the things we do. We could stop buying all we want and it would hardly put a dent in EA. The masses will still buy this game year in and year out.

Best to learn to enjoy what you can rather than yearn to have what you can't.
