Most of these guys dont even strike me as football fans. Its more a video gamer crowd.

Eventually I figured out I would probably be happier avoiding the experience all together, and I stopped playing Madden after 2013. Without getting to deep into the subject, when looking at a competitor's title (such as 2K's) I ask myself is EA too far behind. I can play a full basketball game entirely with other users without ever having to hold anything other than myself or another human user accountable. I didn't even like basketball before I started playing 2K15, now I buy 2K every year because I've yet to find another experience where I can play with my friends as teammates in a competitive environment since I played sports. As I've gotten older, the player names mean less to me personally but the competitive spirit within myself has not waned. My experience with the park and Pro-Am in 2K have showed me that perhaps a football game that incorporates those same principles (teamwork, fundamentally sound mechanics, etc.) could work without NFL players, at least for me personally. As the game is now, I don't know if it's possible to create that experience. I get the vibe OTP is back this year and it will be interesting to see how that works. I think the game has a lot more mechanics that simulate fundamentals than it used too, and it's probably possible to really illustrate that with multiple users on one side of the ball, but these animations still don't do enough and there is an insufficient number to create a game environment where the user can always trust their eyes, or even accurately simulate differences between skill types. 2K really has something going with the park and pro-am. EA has got to figure out how to match that. Football is the greatest team sport in our society bar none.

Cleverly disguised: "2k needs to make football" post....lol. 2k has YET to figure out how to make a sports game that is not a LAG fest online. They have had YEARS to figure it out. Their online head to head is just bad.

They are gamers, they game the AI with swerve running and play calls(corner routes always open) but when you're playing for money that is to be expected. My only issue with it isn't with the competeive/tourney gamers themselves but the fact that the game, atleast up until 18s release, just seems to be catered to them. Case and point is swerve running, why are 11 defenders reacting the same way to the ball carrier whether they are 2 yards or 22 yards away? Why is there no inertia/momentum? It's just leads to the AI being exploited which isn't exactly football.

Robert Kraft just invested $15M in an Overwatch eSports league, a league being built around a game which just became a billion-dollar franchise for Activision-Blizzard.
