    I just find it ironic how the NFL is all about experimenting and looking into the future as of late (e.g. kickoffs, guardian caps, streaming services, international games, etc.), but won't budge on who makes a video game after several years of criticism. "Madden is a top 10 game for the year, per weekly play time", but compared to who? You can't brag about domination when you have no competition.

    Bro 2k has been working on their “arcade game” since 2021. By next summer they’ll have been working on it for 4 years. Yall gotta ask yourselves why 2k hasn’t released it yet. In my opinion, the NFL told 2k to make a Sim game, they’ll see how it plays when 2026 rolls around, then they’ll give 2k a share in that license. That’s why 2k hasn’t dropped their “arcade game”. There’s no other reason. I bet you by next year, or summer 2027, we will have a sim 2k NFL game. The nfl market is HUGE and only getting bigger. There’s no WAY 2k gets a chance at eating off that plate, and says no. Especially when they KNOW that people miss their football product. 2k will be back in the next year or two. That’s also why EA took the risk of making the college football game. Cuz they KNOW 2k football is coming back. And that’s why Madden has changed so much the last 2 years. Gotta read the writing on the wall

There’s no way the NFL looks at the hate madden gets every year, sees how well 2k is handling the NBA, and goes nah we’ll stick with madden.
      A lot of people say the NFL won’t offer the license because ea keeps making them money. That’s dumb. They’d make money off 2k too, and it’d open the market more so they could make MORE money than simply staying with EA only. It’s a no brainer.

    What kills me is the belief that people would only buy 1 football game a year. If Madden is as good as they say it is, it wouldnt be effected by a new game on the market. People would buy both. Having the licenses exclusive makes no damn sense. The NFL is a huge market. They dont need EA. EA needs them. EA will still buy the license even if its not exclusive because it makes them so much money. I dont understand how they keep convincing NFL execs this false premise that the exclusive licenses benefits the NFL. In what way does it do that? They would have control of any studio that has the license as they do with EA. They make more money by selling more licenses. The same people buying Madden will buy the other games. Hell they already spend thousands on Ultimate Team. I think they can spare an extra $70 a year or whatever. And theyll have the untapped sales pool that they saw with CFB25 of people who are sick of Madden and want something different. It just blows my mind that this is still an issue 20 years later.

I know that deal definitely scared them to release another football game just in case 2K's game starts taking sales away from them. At this point all 2K has to do is release a football game with a deep team customization and the community will take care of the mods and putting in nfl teams. Football gamers are begging anyone to release a football game even if it doesnt have the license.

    Honestly, the NFL should rotate developers. That way each team has more time to make the game.
