2K Partners with NFLPA to Allow NFL Players in Multiple Football Games

[tril]

2k football mechanics in smb skin.
7 on 7 football.

this got me thinking. if it includes power ups etc isnt that almost like x-factors or badges in the sim titles.
because of these enhanced skills and badge systems, sim sports titles already blur the line between sim and arcade.

and when they say a sim football game are they specifically saying that they cant make an "NFL" sim game.


there is so many ways to interpret this.

Just make Coming To America’s version of McDowell’s


-First downs: 9 yards instead of 10
-TD: 7 points instead of 6
-FG: 2 points instead of 3

And full uniform editing.

The multiple games has me interested too. No doubt the NFL licensed game will be a playgrounds, but with the NFLPA the other could be an All Pro Football 2k8 type game with all the NFL players. Here’s to hoping anyways.

I am hopefully they have a Legends game, including Great teams of the Past.

Would a legends game (using old retired players) be allowed to be a simulation under the deal?

I think they can get away with a non "simulation" game instead of calling it a simulation game start calling it "realistic football" or "Virtual football" "computerized football" game something creative.

Frankly I have no idea why 2K just haven't made another iteration of All Pro Football and include heavy customisation. That would sell like hot cakes.

I still think APF2K8 is the best playing football game to date and I would rather a sim game with generic teams than a street version of the NFL.

I'm with you in thinking NFL players in a APF-style non NFL team setup. Customize the teams all you want with the players. Heck, if you look at Ultimate Team, everyone is making their own uniforms and team names and aren't concerned about being the real teams...and that's in the "simulation" game. Let the non-sim game be generic teams that people can make into the real ones if they want.
