I will be penning a video game pitch to both Take Two/Visual Concept and Redbird Capital Partners lol.

This in no way guarantees that the XFL will be a success, or a viable option for a video game license.

Honestly if 2k wants to go the sim football route they could do it with just the NFLPA and a generic league instead of messing with the XFL.

It just comes down to not upsetting the NFL and they seem to be very clear that the games they are making are not simulation games for that reason

Re: The XFL is a viable option now
 

No alternative football league is a viable option for a AAA video game license until one such league proves it can sustain its operations for multiple consecutive seasons.

Maybe XFL 3.0 will do that. I think most of XFL 2.0’s failures were caused by COVID, which no one could have predicted.

However, I also think that, given how closely the XFL wants to work with the NFL, it is more likely that we see XFL teams and players appear in Madden NFL than it is than the XFL gets its own major licensed game. Similar to how CFL players appeared in Madden NFL Mobile Ultimate Team.

I'd really love to see 2K make an XFL game if it can't make a simulation NFL game. Helps both 2K and the XFL. Stupid COVID got in the way of that possibility before (not saying they were pursuing it to begin with).

isn't it the time to pen that video game pitch right now ? lolo

Re: The XFL is a viable option now
 

lmao people really think that 2k, who by choice no longer makes a baseball or hockey game or college basketball game, is gonna suddenly step up to the plate and make an XFL game...all of 2k’s resources have gone into nba 2k in the past decade and thats why they’ve been able to put out great titles such as 2k11 or 2k14...they clearly have no desire to produce any other major sports game besides nba, let alone a game for a league that just got resurrected from the grave

So... All-Pro Football 2K22 or 2K23?
