2K announces new football title photo

Well well, look who's getting back into the football game: 2K. We've missed you 2K, do you know how much suffering we've been going through with Madden? It's been horrible! The fix: 2K Sports announced today that they are coming back with All-Pro Football 2K8.

They didn't release much in the way of details, so look at what they've said:

2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., announced today the return of football to its video game line-up with All-Pro Football 2K8.  The critically acclaimed 2K football series once again hits the gridiron with the legendary gameplay, innovative features, and outstanding visual quality sports gamers have come to expect from 2K Sports.

“Football gamers have been awaiting the return of the 2K series,” said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. “All-Pro Football 2K8 will deliver an authentic next generation gridiron experience and we are happy to give fans another choice in the football category.”

All-Pro Football 2K8 will be available this summer on next generation video game systems.

EA's license with the NFL is for like 12 years so I doubt it's run out.

I thought EA's exclusive license was only five years long... Anyway, I don't care for football games, but I do like hearing that EA won't have a monopoly on the market any more.

The last I've seen some football the game had goals and people didn't wear helmets.

may make a better sports game, but with fake teams, no football fan will have interest

I'm glad 2k is getting back into making football games, it's been rough playing that torture device known as Madden for the past few years.

Okay, I thought it was a 5 year deal with EA, and it is:

I guess the deal won't expire until 2009 (5 years after 2004, when the deal was announced), so ESPN NFL 2K won't be able to have real NFL teams until then. They could still make fake teams and have a great game, but who knows.

Fuck Madden.. I was so pissed when EA got the exclusive license, the 2K series was so much better. I've yet to buy a game since 2K5 and won't until someone else makes a run at it.

ESPN did just sign a deal to broadcast AFL games, possibly this will be an Arena Football game? I know EA put one out last year but maybe they gave their license to 2K?

Realistic sports games are only really fun when you actually play with real teams... the only reason to play a sports game over actually playing a sport is to play as your favorite real life players.. not 2Kman
