2K Sports simply isn't in a position to make the jump to new hardware AND build a new football engine that could compete with Madden all within one year at this point.
They wouldn't start building the game just a year in advance. If TTWO has any NFL plans they are already well under way.

I wouldn't count TTWO out either. If there ever was a time to swoop in and snatch up the deal, that time would be now. EA is reeling, GTA V is on it's way, new and more developer friendly consoles due out soon (friendly to Tiburon too I realize), so unless EA turns things around quick don't be surprised to see another player enter the picture. That player most likely being TTWO.

Video game football has been a total disaster on xbox 360 and ps3! 8 years down the drain due to corporate greed and inept programmers and developers! It is really sad considering that video game football was on the upswing in 2005 and showed so much promise! Nfl 2k5 and Madden 2005 were the reason I stood on line in the cold for 2 days to get an xbox 360. If I knew how pathetic the future was for video game football I would have never purchased a next gen console!

Incredibly risky to be developing an NFL game, without certainty that you can publish it. I'm not sure things are "well under way" even if they do intend to do so.

If they have plans... IF... Then they sure ain't sittin' around twiddling their thumbs.

Big risk sure, but also potential big payoff. They may even have a back up plan in the NCAA license. Heck, this was a company that put out a football game more or less as a gift to fans. Don't see why they wouldn't keep themselves positioned for any sort of slip up by EA. It's not like they have to develop the entire game at once.

Again, not saying it's going to happen or even is happening. Just saying it's not out of the question.

You got that right. A lot of wishful thinking going on. It takes capital to develop a full featured game today and I don't see anyone laying out millions with the hope of being able to publish an NFL product. And I also think if anyone is counting EA down and out is also mistaken.

Who says 2K's technology is dated?

And who wrote such an absurd article?

2K needs to do its due diligence and approach the NFL to scrap the exclusive license. It would be bad business not to.
