NCAA Football 2k12?

[FrostyForeigner]

I was reading the exclusive deal with ncaa that was a 6 year deal in 05' which means the deal would be up next year. Dioes this leave the door openj for other companies to produce a game or has this ddeal been extended???

[Card-me]

As far as I know, the deal has not yet been extended, but that can still change. They have the license through the bowl season. Even if it is not extended, it's unlikely you'll see a 2k12. Not only is there not as much money to be made from the college game, but 2k didn't even make the game for several years when they could have (there was no 2k4 or 2k5).

And this thread will likely be closed.

Yeah, don't get your hopes up for a 2k football game if the deal isn't extended. It wouldn't come out next year either, due to the fact that they'd kind of have to start on it soon to pump it out by next year. So we'd essentially be 2 years at the least for a new 2k football game.
But, again, it's not very likely.

Let's stop the speculating, IF 2k is going to do a football game, we will hear from them I'm sure. This is a very tired discussion.

That depends though, if they've worked on it in secret for a bit beforehand (they do already have the APF 2k8 engine to work with after all) then it's just a matter of adding the licensed assets to the existing engine and tweaking AI. It would probably come out later than normal, but only a month or so.

2k would murder EA Sports in the next generation of College Football Games. No contest. Comon' 2k!

very doubtful. too many people would still buy EA's game and this world is all about money, which there would not be enough of for 2k.

Exactly what evidence of that is there? 2k had a college football game, and it was terrible.

Which brings up an interesting question in my mind. I have heard it said, and I'm not sure I disagree, that the EA football "engine" is more suited to college football than to pro football. If that's the case, and I'm not saying it is or isn't, but if it's the case, does it not stand to reason that it was the other way around with the 2k games?

Perhaps there's simply a latent quality to both that favors one or the other. Just thinking aloud I guess...

Agree, I rather see scea bring back Gamebreaker, that imo was the only competition EA ever had.
