I only ask because besides a little blurb about Legends and a comment here or there, I haven't seen any substantial evidence that leads me to believe that they are coming out with one this year. Also, they are in a bit of financial trouble, which delayed the release of a couple of their games. Plus, the mere fact that they pretty much avoid all talk about the future of their football franchise doesn't make me think that they have anything to surprise us with. I would like for them to come out with a new game, but again, I haven't heard anything to make me think that they are going to.

Well, I think it has to do with the evidence.

1. The Legends "blurb"
2. An evident "Gag-Order" for 2K employees to not speak of Legends or any football for that matter. (why not just say "no, we aren't making one.")
3. Demand.

Let me focus on #3. There IS demand. Heck, if Blitz: The League could sell a million copies despite the cheesiness and the disregard for anything resembling real football, what could a real football product do in terms of business? Answer- more than a million copies, that's for sure.

Plus, there's demand in other ways too. Online multiplayer franchises are 3 years old since first seen in NFL 2K4.. yet EA ignores them and pretends they don't exist. There's TONS of people that WANT them to exist, yet EA does its usual bit of "nothing" and "more of the same".

(Don't even bring up "The Locker"- those franchises are a "who used the file last/chaind-of-possession nightmare for more than 2 or three players.... and that's when the stats successfully merge from the spawns...)

Demand for 2K football (of any kind) will grow as long as EA keeps releasing products that don't do anything to help fans of 2K5 forget about its features.

EA hasn't "wowed" anybody since Madden 2001.

So 2K has to see the demand. They'd be blind not to.

exactly quiet... I know 2K has a rep of quality to maintain... however, releasing a game for a niche (football sim loyalist) that already exist should be automatic... the fact that it generic is a aspect that can easily be overlooked/forgotten with great gameplay.... online leagues... creatable logos.... and so on.... why wait... I know my words are more desire than fact... but I can't help but think that there are at least 500,000 ppl that would give at least 50bucks for anything 2K put out... just as a hold over.... that to me is a win win....!!!

No.

Not this year. Definitely sometime though.

If 2k(having never played the series) gets user created playbooks into an online setting through multiplayer individual and franchise gaming, they will get a lot of new people on their side with or without an NFL licence.

EA royally shafted all of the players that LOVE to create their own plays, formations and playbooks, and a lot of us have vowed not to go back to them if they continue to deny us this feature.
