Just like Microsoft realizing that by expanding where gamers could play, it reduced the importance of console sales. They sell Xbox Live Gold and Gamepass to more gamers, increasing revenue without needing to increase console sales. Obviously, the hope is to cut into Sony’s sales, but mostly, it’s just to increase their own revenue. So 2K could use their version of MUT to gain mindshare and drive revenue without matching EA’s sales of Madden. This is mostly what I see happening. What I’m hoping to see is custom online leagues.

THE ENGINE IS YEARS IN THE MAKING!! No way " VISUAL CONCEPTS " walked in that meeting empty handed..
