OS Poll: Will There Ever Be Another NFL 2K Game?

[MMChrisS]

With many fans hopes dashed for at least one more year (all the way out until 2014), some could say you are really starting to reach a point where we just might not ever see another NFL 2K game. But what do you think?

Is another NFL 2K game going to be released in the next decade?

You can vote on the right on the frontpage and above you in the forums!

I doubt it. Perhaps we will see another APF down the line though.

I certainly no longer expect it. All the hoping/wishing in the world that I can do means practically nothing, and the NFL seems cozy with having an exclusive license, so I don't think so.

The only way I see it is that EA somehow loses money and has to shed the exclusive license. At that point, though, it'll be hard to say the NFL will open it back up to multiple vendors, as that's generally not the MO of the NFL.

I don't see it happening. If not because of EA constantly renewing the license agreement, then because of the financial instability of the 2KSports brand.

It would be great but unfortunately the NFL only wants one company making a game for their product.

I would like them to just keep their focus on NBA2k, that's the best Sports Series out there.

The amazing thing is I could see years from now people still playing APF 2K8 its just that good. Just IMAGINE a newer and better game. *faints*

It's said when a last generation title from 5 years ago outplays the current gen Madden in every way, shape and form minus graphics. Madden just needs to go back to the drawing board. You know they know they're not putting max effort into these games and that's what erks me. Sit back and collect all of that money.

I am fine with playing the soon to be released roster edits for All Pro Football 2K8. I don 't need all of those gimmicks. I just want real football!!!

Possibly. Disappointed gamers must take a stand if this is to happen. Take the stand by not buying the game. Sales for ea drop. Ea can't pay for the exclusive. The NFL won't take exclusive at a lower price, so they will elect to start charging everyone again. This can't happen without the community standing up, and saying no to the substandard quality of the on field gameplay. Either EA steps it's game up and improves the game, in which case we as consumers win. Or more companies are allowed to make NFL games again, in which again makes the consumers win because the choice is there.

Voted yes, and I sure as hell would like to think I'm right.

With the possible acquisition by Activision, they would certainly have the capital to go toe to toe with EA, should the license be up for bidding again.

Mainly though I believe, maybe foolishly, but I believe that at some point in the future, the effects of some precedent, whether it be American Needle or otherwise, will open up the license again... someday lol.

Nope. Never
