One week away till the end of exclusive license.

[24]

At this point it's nothing but speculation. We won't know until the day after the Super Bowl. I'm hoping for the best with this situation. I want the exclusivity to end so both companies can produce a game. However I'm expecting the worst at this point.

NFL retirees accused their union of rejecting more money from 2K Sports in favor of a deal that used their likenesses without permission. " No one said they won't deal with EA anymore, but if the union has a chance to double their dollars, they won't turn that down.

Sure, things can change, just don't know if they will or not.(hoping they will, but won't get the hopes up. Been down that road before.)

So, it's the retirees that were upset, not the current players? That's what the article implies.

That's how I'm looking at it, too. There have been so many letdowns over this exclusive for so long now, I just won't let myself get as emotionally invested in it again.

2k just needs to get off its *** and make a damn generic game again.

just take the NFL 2k5 franchise code, tweak it a bit, merge it with all pro, fix the few bugs in that game, bump up the customiation a bit, and we're done.


seriously they could have like 5 guys work on that game for like 6 months tops.

Take APF, merge 2K5 franchise, purchase and incorporate Backbreaker team creator editor (team's uniform, helmet, and endzone logos are all fully customizable); include the 2K editor (allows full control to edit players and teams).

now you're done.

APF with a lot more (and better) team names in the audio database, at least 32 editable team slots instead of just 8, better graphics, and the ability to upload logos into your team design would be heaven for me. It's what I wanted from the original APF and was so crushed when it wasn't there.

I don't think it's going to happen fellas, just my thoughts! My dream is to see 2K and Sony have a shot at a NFL game.
