I know they usually sponsor a college bball tourney, but this is a weird one. This, as far as I know, is a FCS college game between NYC area schools.

That's a sponsorship, not a 2k organized event.

Either way what's your opinion on what this may mean for a 2K football game?

Probably has nothing to do with a NFL video game

I don't think the tattoos themselves equate to 2K coming back. I think it's about what the tattoos represent.

Tattoos on a player model represent little details. And EA never has shown any interest in adding little character details to their players or games.

I just think it's interesting that this is the first we are getting anything of specific detail about Madden 15, and it's an image showing the most well depicted/replicated player model we have ever seen. It's not just a pretty screenshot of Adrian Peterson leaping over a defender or a close up of RG3's face. Here, it's the body, arms, skin tone, face scan, tats--it all genuinely looks like Colin Kap. It's unmistakably Colin Kap.

To me, that level of attention to detail is typically 2K's arena. Doesn't mean 2K is definitely coming back, but it just personally confirms my own suspicion that they are.

The point is: why sponsoring a football game when you're a sports games publisher not releasing football games ??

I see the point in sponsoring Basketball games like they did past years: people attending to the games are potential customers of NBA2K. So why starting now to do the same with a Football game ?

Do you guys remember this 2K Sports job posting last October http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/2...UI_artists.php Could this have been the beginning of the rebirth of NFL 2K Football!?

No reason to think this was anything other than extra art staff to help with increased detail of NBA as it made the jump to next-gen
