2K Sports Has Already Approached NFL About NFL 2K13 Licensing Deal

[bigpat7676]

Go Fanboy is reporting that 2K Sports has already approached the NFL about a licensing deal. Will it happen? Will we see NFL 2K13?

Quote:

"It looks like everything we had been hearing over the last year and half has turned out to be true as word is now coming out that Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of 2K Sports, has approached the NFL about a licensing deal for the 2013 NFL season. It was rumored last month that the NFLPA, the official association representing players of the National Football League, were already in preliminary talks. While nothing solid has been worked out, all the pieces are falling into place. Take-Two has sold of several major assets - including their mega-distributor JOAG in Cincinnati, Ohio in order to raise capital. We'll keep you updated as the details emerge."

Such a shame the NFL loves exclusive licenses. Free them up, NFL!!! How legit is this source, though?

My goodness, they need to just send them a copy of NBA 2K 11, and tell them that "we can do this to NFL Football."

Great news! Madden is beloved only b/c it has the exclusive NFL rights. I look forward to a realistic football sim with the polish of NBA2K11.

And fans want them to get it. I hope there not going for an exclusive license but rather them than anyone else. The NFL should go with 2k but I think Goodell will only care about $$$$.

With new heads of the NFL and NFLPA, i hope they go the david stern route.

If both EA and 2k want to ante up for a license, let them both have it. Come on NFL, let us consumers have that competition!

I really hope that 2K11 will out sell Madden 11. That is the only chance that the NFL will listen.
