Joe Montana Football 16 Looks to be a Mobile Game, Utilizing Unreal Engine 4

Looks to have the NFL license because it's mobile I assume.

Those screens look good. Looks like it will have the NFL license since they have a shot of the Texans stadium. I'm excited to see where they go with this.

The terms of the agreement between the NFL and EA place no licensing restrictions on mobile games and on browser games:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/big.../1100-6114977/

"The NFL/EA arrangement encompasses action, simulation, arcade-style, and manager games made for PCs, consoles, and handhelds (both the DS and PSP, included), giving EA a firm hold on the football gaming market. The deal does not include titles for mobile phones or Internet-based games, but does include online features of consoles. With next-generation consoles scheduled for release next holiday season, EA looks to handily dominate the professional football market for the duration of the license."

Anyway a modder/hacker could turn this into a pc game if it does get released for mobile devices?

1 - No, that's not possible. iOS and Android applications are sandboxed, they require the device's specific operating system to run. The only way it gets to PC is if the developer delivers a PC version of the app; UE4 supports multi-platform deployment, I assume, though I have no idea if it's as simple as, say, Unity is.

2 - Modding discussion isn't permitted on this forum, so I'm nipping this in the bud before it goes any further.

I hope this goes thru!

Im not expecting a non mobile Football game to rival Maddden on the CG consoles but I am hoping it warrants consumers attention enough to consider what the average gamer should be getting out of Madddn by now.

Im not big on Mobile gaming outside of the escape game that I play but I would certainly add this title to my small library.

For Mike Florio to trash EA about a month back and now share this news makes me wonder if he already knew somethng was underway. I hope this mobile game gives the developers and publishers some steam to go console - that unreal engine holds more weight w me than Ignite/Infinity.
