one thing to watch will be the NFL labor issue.....one scenario would have the union De-certify...essentially wiping out itself...so EVERY player would be a free agent representing themself.......well...no union would mean no video games with NFL players unless EVERY player signed off on being in a video game.

this happened in 1989.......

All the more reason to make a fully customizeable game, especially for the PC. That'll learn 'em.

Put ALL Pro 2K11/12/13 on the PC and let the gamers have their field day. Would be sweetness for the rest of our lives.

I second this notion! Would give modders all they need to have the perfect NFL games.

Can someone tell me why this license is so important? Why cant a company make a football game with fake names and league but a great engine. If its moddable the modders will fill in the rest within the first month. They cant be held liable for wehat modders create can they?

It would never sell.

ok, well i would buy it

Generic games haven't been supported by the fans all that well for a variety of reasons and yeah, they aren't in the clear if the knowingly provide the tools to infringe on copyrights.

Marvel vs NCSoft over City of Heroes is one example of very similar litigation over providing a platform for players to infringe. NCSoft settled the lawsuit.

Honestly, it is a bit dirty and i wouldnt like to see it resort to that. However this coming year will be my first year of not buying Madden ever and i know it will hurt me more than it will them because i am such a big fan of football. Im just wore out of the same thing every year. i get pumped at football time and they have the only game on the market so i buy it. I play it and find it to be a rehash of the same old thing. maybe a bit of competition would do them good. Thats all.

Why did ESPN stop doing 2K sports in the first place?

Because EA snagged the rights to that as well.
