2K Sports is getting back into the football market with non-simulation games that are set to be released beginning in 2021. And now, Take-Two has announced that these games will benefit from having the official NFL license for players, numbers, likenesses, and more.

2K Sports today announced a new deal with the National Football League Players Association and the company's licensing representative, OneTeam, to include the names, numbers, images, and likenesses of more than 2,000 current NFL players in the new games.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

2K president David Ismailer said the deal with the NFLPA is a "huge part" of delivering new football games that are "authentic, memorable, and fun."

OneTeam CEO Ahmad Nassar said in a statement that working with 2K and the NFLPA will help "reach untapped future audiences" for football games.


Again, 2K's upcoming football games will be non-simulation based. Electronic Arts remains the exclusive publisher of simulation-based NFL games, continuing with Madden NFL 21 in August.

2K's new football games are in "early stages of development," the company said. Details about the developers, gameplay, and release dates will be announced later.

With 2K getting back into NFL games, the publisher is extending its sports game catalogue. 2K already makes NBA, WWE, and PGA Tour games.

This should get locked. Why is this in the Madden forum. 2K has it's own forum, but nope just had to put this BS here, it's ridiculous.

2 things, your months late, secondly your in the wrong forum.

as long as you can create players/teams then the official ones are irrelevant.

it's the gameplay that matters.

but i have no clue what that's going to look like as whatever ea currently does is certainly far off from what i would consider sim.
