I hope they release a football game. If anything 2k should know by now the cult following they have garnered and would make money from it. NFL do it!

The same cult following that resulted in relatively poor sales when their title was just $20? While we're making up finances of such a title, my guess would be that a NFL license now would probably cost more than what it cost to make APF2k8.

If they made a bunch of money on 2k8, they would have made another, their last couple attempts have required more than a cult following to justify, so we don't have a game now.

Actually, if you are referring to 2k5 - it sold about 2.6 million copes. That's not poor sales. Madden 05 sold 4 million as a much more seasoned franchise. 2k8 did not make money. There is no market for unlicensed football games. Actually, there is no market for unlicensed football, basketball OR baseball games.

You're correct when you remove my context, getting outsold 2.6m to 4m is relatively poor. This is especially true with Madden being 50% more expensive. 2k8 demonstrated that the cult following which is the premise for the game "making money" is not enough.

2k5 was their 6th NFL title in 5 years, so was kinda seasoned itself.

In order to have a successful product, you don't always have to "outsell" the other one. The name of the game is to make a profit, which 2k5 clearly did despite it's cheaper price tag. Madden has been around since 1988 and is a cultural icon. Selling 2.6m games in the marketplace with a product like madden is an outstanding achievement. The game was very very good and is still talked about everywhere online. There is a reason for that. Not that any of this matters, it's all in the past anyway. It would just be nice to have more options for an NFL title again.
