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

[rawcorp]

I'll take any football game form 2k right now. A college game would be great. I think if they came out with a fully customizable All Pro game, that would be even better. I wonder if that's allowed because it would be a way to get around the NFL exclusive license.

I am so hopeful I can finally get back into football gaming. Its been a tough year not playing Madden. Whats funny is NBA 2K actually has me more interested in NBA than NFL. If you would have told me a year ago this would be the case I would have said you were crazy. I still want Madden to be made so there is competition, but all I really care about is getting my grimy hands on NFL 2K13 or whatever year they start with. I can hold off on football gaming till then.

2k13, meaning at least 2012 'til we get a non-Madden NFL game (maybe)?...Too far into the future to even get me excited.

What about the NCAA license? I'd actually almost rather have a killer Visual Concepts college football game than pro...but at this point, I'll take anything non-EA. Anything.

People will use Madden as coasters for their drinks or paper weights. 2k already killed EA's basketball game. 2 more years and will see the best football game since 2k5. Since operation sports leaked that 2k was talking to the NFL about the new license. I'm almost positive that 2k is working on the game right now, or has been working on it lightly since 2k5. They knew they would get a chance to make a game. I'm just think 2k has been in the labs working on some addictive concoction that will put Madden 6 feet under.

It's not guaranteed that 2k will make a football game again. There's a good chance, but with everything that has happened with this particular genre, I just can't get my hopes of for anything anymore. The NFL isn't likely to renew the deal, exclusively, with EA due to the case with American Needle.

Also, I doubt that 2k has been working on an football game behind the scenes. That cost money; it's makes no sense to spend money developing a title when you're not sure that you'll have the opportunity to release it.

It doesn't look like 2k want a college game though, which is a pity.
