Most people want create a player of himself in a sportsgame. So why not creating a league, teams?

We donīt know, if NFL allow that or not.

1) Couldn't they cater to a niche market? Without any licensing fees for legends, the NFL or NCAA, couldn't they turn a profit without trying to outsell Madden?

2) I am an old school off-line gamer. So wonder if there would be something for folks like myself to share NFL creations.....Although you are right about the online leagues aspect which are so popular today. That would certainly complicated matters.

Creating one player is way easier than creating hundreds of players/teams/uniforms/jerseys/stadiums


Come on man. Is this even a question? The NFL doesnt allow people to use the Super Bowl name without permission. You actually think the NFL would be ok if another company was allowing people to create and share its logos/team names/stadiums/players? Really?

Though you are right and I agree with you, you are the essential definition, exactly textbook, of a Debby downer XD.

I feel at this point, we should just close this thread until the Sony Press Conference later tonight. No use on speculating the rest of the day.

LOL. I'm sorry. I just have realistic expectations. I could talk for days about what my dream football game is but if that cant realistically happen...why would I talk about it?

I was just watching an interview with one of the guys from the upcoming Tomb Raider game. They didn't give an exact release date but said they wanted to hype it and get fans excited.

So... it could be quite possible that an announcement could be made for a future game with the tag line of "Coming Soon".

You know, I've always said The League with a full eleven man teams, football sim gameplay, franchise mode, 32 teams, NFL rules, and the League story lines would have been very good. The League had a much better hook than All Pro.

Allow restricted customizations much like All Pro did and the NFL couldn't do anything about it.

Here is the thing though. 2k is trying to play nice to try and get the license back some day. Making enemies with the NFL is the last thing they want to do. Anything we see from 2k will indirectly have the NFL's blessing IMHO.
