When Will The Official Reveal Happen?

Its definitely NOT the exaggerated examples I just mentioned above). I can start a franchise in Madden with the setting as ARCADE. I'm under the impression that whatever that setting is, is what 2ks title will be. I think they're DEFINITELY about to come in and compete on the standard football (what we've all been waiting for) level, and toute the "arcade" title because of some minor thing thats not even going to make much difference.

You're in for a letdown.

Nope, but it's very easy to come to the conclusion that EA wouldn't have agreed to any sort of language that allows 2k to compete with the game on a level we would like them to.


Would love to be wrong but there is no way we see the competition out this game that we would like to.

The biggest things about Madden's Arcade style are: little to no in-play stamina or fatigue impact (can use special ball carrier moves without limits), no penalties outside of D-line infractions and Delay of Game, and by far the biggest one - user actions take priority over EVERYTHING. This is most apparent in MUT where the bronze WR on your starter team can outjump Elite CB's to make catches on deep balls if the user is pressing the aggressive catch button. Although ratings still matter on Competitive to some degree, you will NEVER see that happen in the Competitive style and you'd be a fool to try it. There's a reason that all of the Arcade difficulty choices for solo battles are the easiest ones - and worth the least amount of points.

There might be others, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Edit: Just realized this is the 2k forum....my bad, didn't mean to cross-post. Just wanted to answer the question.

Yeah, I kept my expectations for this as low as possible until we know anything. We don't have a title, dont know the development team in 2k who's working on it. So trying to find loopholes where 2k could actually compete, is just setting up yourself for disappointment. I'm sure they had strict guidelines they have to follow

This x1,000.

My expectations for the game are very low. I don't want to get my hopes up at all because it's likely going to be a casual game that won't hook me.

The only thing I hope is that this is the first step towards getting back to a point where we have two major NFL titles competing against each other annually.

Maybe this setup allows 2k to get their feet back into the NFL market, allows them to create a foundation to bring back their brand of authentic NFL football and one day we have Madden and NFL 2k releasing each end of summer again. Or maybe Madden will hold onto the exclusive license for the rest of my life. Who knows. What I hope for and what I expect don't exactly align, but sometimes you have to hold onto your hope.

FY2022 ends in August, not march. the Fiscal year is from september-august. so you won't see the game until september at the earliest, according to their press release. that puts it on par with a side-by-side madden release.

It’s been posted by several sources that after March is the soonest possible date

That said, April would be a unexpected release date for a football game. August or even July are possible. We know the NFL didn’t want a holiday launch which is part of the reason for the delay so it’ll be out before the season starts and we also know 2k was aiming for a holiday launch which tells me in theory the game could be finished already and could’ve been on store shelves a month ago.

All that to say 2k could drop the game anytime after March as long as the NFL agrees

According to their own investor relations documents, Take 2 Interactive’s fiscal year 2022 ends this upcoming March 31.
