2K/EA Truce?
Sorry if this has been posted, but I saw on the 2K boards this morning some guy posting about a "truce" between EA/2K which allows EA to make an MLB game in 07 and for 2K to make an NFL 2K7. I have trouble believing that either of these companies would do this, but has anyone heard if this is credible?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will not happen due to the fact that they both just signed exclusivity contracts. It would be great though.

Re: 2K/EA Truce?
I had a guy that I'm good with, that has inside sources. He told me the same thing a month ago and I laughed at him. But after reading the info above...That fool might have been telling the truth...if thats the case....Heck yeah....back to good ole' competition in the industry and freedom of choice. That shouldn't have been taken away from us gamers anyway...Let it be 2k
fans or EA fans... I think both sides of the consumer based would be greatfully happy to know we can get our sequels back to our favorite sports titles after a year of suffering...And torture...to play mediocre titles released... Via (Madden 360 and MVP NCAA Baseball) Just Mediocre... |

While I wish this was true, I can't see EA agreeing to let 2K make an NFL game in exchange for them being allowed to make a MLB game. The numbers don't add up. The video game baseball market is MUCH smaller than the football market. In order for this truce to happen I'm guessing the amount 2K would have to pay to EA for the NFL license would be significantly bigger than what EA pays 2K for the MLB license. |

After both companies shell out nearly a billion - with a "b" - dollars for exclusivity deals, does anyone rational really think they'd simply agree to "let" another manufacturer go around it? What possible reason would compel either EA or 2K to do this? The NFL games always make more money, so it'd be foolhardy for EA to do such a thing, and besides - they'd need the NFL's and MLB's blessings for any such arrangement. In short - somebody's wishing upon a star... and not very realistically, either. |

The answer is maybe:
