I'd believe what the Take Two execs have to say on the subject more than i'd believe what the 2K Sports Community managers have to say about it. I'm sure TT has kept the game in development on the offchance it actually gets the greenlight. But like the above poster said, there's a very good chance TT will have been sold by the time the game would've been released anyway and it's probably unlikely that APF will be a priority to the new owner considering the hard numbers. It's just not a strong business move to keep it going.

BTW.

Valderez, where the hell were u getting your information? You really had my hopes up and now they are dashed.

I'll just copy what I posted on the MM thread:

APF had great gameplay but was basically half a game, if you're not interested in online play it has nothing for you. They rushed it out as quickly as they could to beat Madden. Considering that I think it sold decent. They should at least make one with a full year dev cycle and not six months. Give it a full franchise mode as deep as 2k5 and then some. The presentation is already miles ahead of EA but not as good as 2k5's, so raise the bar again.

If they did that and gave it good customization, I think it would sell at least 500k. Without the NFL license it will never overtake Madden but there are enough people sick of EA that it can do well enough to make money.

Very sad if this ends up being their final decision, and I think a bad one.

This really sucks if true.

...but........

APF + Backbreaker = Great game!

hopefully they will change their minds. At least go with a once every 2 years thing.

TT doesnt have two years.

well I'm glad I kept my copy of 2k8. Still, I hope this means we haven't seen the end of 2K football forever. I've been a 2K football fan since NFL2K on the Dreamcast and I just can't stand the product put out by the competition.
