Why 2k dont continue the all pro series?
I mean yah the NFL league is the best but 2k could work on more all pro then when they had a chance to grab the NFL license they already had a engine well worked.
I never could played the All-Pro Football 2K8

If it's a bidding war, it's open to anyone; however, if the NFL has a choice, they will stay with EA. I know many feel EA has not made waves with Madden this generation (I happen to agree), but what they have done really well is blend Madden into the NFL. They have branded it very nicely and that's primarily what the NFL wants.

Hopin' but most likely not a chance in hell this happens. EA is giving far too much money to the NFL for the exclusive deal and Madden continues to sell millions upon millions; I don't see the NFL changing it anytime soon.

NBA 2K11 could help NFL 2K get back in the game. If the powers that be were to see that game+the sales of it compared with how Madden is currently, they could be swayed. 2K11 has served notice to EVERY sports game that has ever been created with how deep and detailed it is...not to mention the gameplay is as good as it gets.
NFL 2K should definitely be given STRONG consideration so that gamers have a choice.

Believe it or not Electronic Arts is losing money every single quarter. Their last earnings statement showed a -1.08 per share.
They are bleeding money. I can easily see the NFL not doing an exclusive deal in 2013 and allowing another game developer into the mix.
EA as a company has been a poor performing company for years. Too many exclusive licenses that are not helping the bottom line. They will let these go one by one to cut costs. Madden will always be here, but soon in the not too distant future, it will not be the only NFL game in town. The margins are not justifying it any longer.
This can only help the Madden franchise too and we as the consumer win. Madden 2011 is a good game. Competition would make it a great game again ala circa 2005.
I would of course love to see NFL2K13. That would be amazing.

Well, I'm gonna keep the fingers crossed and hope that 2K gets back into video game football in anyway shape or form. APF2K8 was actually an excellent game, just not as deep as one would expect from a 2K product.

I didn't buy Madden 11, and I definitely will not buy Madden 12, I'm gonna save that money for 2k. They say good things come to those who wait, and that the sim shall inherit the earth....let there be light!

I would like to donate to 2K Sports efforts to bring back football. 
I will be purchasing NBA 2K 11 this week not only because the game appears to be one of the, if not the, best sports game of the generation, but also because the more I help 2K's sales, the more I support the chances of this kind of product coming to the NFL.

The NFL got royalties from game sales, but they also did get licensing fees as well. Not as much as what the exclusive license was worth obviously, but there has always been a licensing fee to make an NFL game.
I am not sure how their royalty deal worked though, whether they got a percentage of revenue or if they got paid based solely on number of copies sold. If it was the former, then I could definitely see why they would be upset with 2K's price cut, as it would cut into their take, but if it was based on games sold, which I think it was, they might still be upset at 2K, not because they were making less, but simply because they were hurting their brand image by discounting it to bargain basement prices. If I remember correctly, I think this was in fact the reason.
