Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development for 2K, has reportedly been tasked with putting together a new division of 2K Sports that will reportedly begin operations by Q3 of 2011. Based on T2's last financial report, that would put the new division in business at or around June 2011."

That means nothing. At least to me. After all, it remains to be seen if VC/2K sports/TTI are still in business at that time.

Is this an exclusive one? Or is it just purchasing the license? I didn't see exclusive in the article, but i just skimmed it earlier.

well if they plan on getting their own NFL exclusive license, then the heck with them. It will be more of the same. If they plan on going head to head with madden again like 2k5, 2k4,etc then I am behind them 100%

If 2K sports was to somehow get the exclusive NFL license, I would be all for it because quite honestly, I have always wondered what kind of NFL video game we would have if it was 2K sports who had the license for the last five years instead of EA. Plus, EA and all the Madden fans would know how we've felt for the last half decade.

I want 2K to have the exclusive title, then everyone will be forced to play NFL 2K games and then will realize how good it is, but I have to agree that NFL 2K would go downhill like Madden did because of no competition.
