It's not really a waste. You have to look at it from a business perspective. There is no longer a market for non-licensed sports games for the mainstream sports. Football, basketball and baseball games will not sell if they do not have all of the branding and players from their respective leagues. A lot of Maddenites never even tried APF simply because it didn't have the current players. It's easy to say that 2k screwed up because guys like us love the game, but in reality, it was a sound business decision. There is no market for that kind of game and only a foolish company would make a product knowing ahead of time there is no market for it.
