The quote from Good was made today. Also 2k last put out a CLC licensed game in 2007 with NCAA2k8. 2k isnt interested in purchasing big licenses that wont sell multi millions. EA is selling 1.5 cross platform with no competition and an established game. 2k isnt going to do those number with a brand new game and competition from EA.

I was boycotting for a generation anyway after the great Canadian ripoff. So this is pretty good.

As far as 2k is concerned this changes nothing for them, EA already lost exclusivity last year effective 2014.

For all of those saying that they hope 2K makes the game again because it would be tons better then EAs, slow down a bit. Personally, I have always much preffered EA's football games over 2Ks. You may feel otherwise, and that is certainly your right. However, 2K basketball games are not perfect, and football gameplay is much harder to produce.

I'm not saying EA has it perfect, but I enjoy the game every year. It sounds like people expect 2K to make a perfect football game if they gave it a shot, and that is an expectation that is just begging to get crushed. I do not think it is very likely to happen anyway, but if it did, I can see thousands of hardcore 2k fans being let down.

Lol...Well I guess they have to change their "Its in the game" moniker... Dude at Gamestop wasn’t lying after all.. Hopefully 2k looks at this as a even playing field and re-enters the game as competition...Let’s go 2K!!!

Steve had me pretty bummed earlier today when he first sent out the Tweet stating the possible end of NCAA Football on consoles.

Good to see all that has been cleared up since then.

People thinking this opens the door for 2K are incredibly clueless.

This might open the floodgates.
