Although it won't be a simulation game the NFL has agreed to allow 2ksports to make a new NFL arcade game.

I saw this. The EA deal ends in 2021 I read...so it's not unreasonable for them to switch to 2k....

While i think i prefer madden over 2k, I thought 2k's approach was way more fun. Their integration with ESPN and ability to show highlights of other games played (to which i didn't even play) made it real fun and actually felt like I was watching NFL Gameday.

I gave up on all football games after EA discontinued the NCAA football franchise, which I enjoyed much more than Madden.

I might try this one if it looks fresh.

I still play 2K5, IMO best football game ever. Played all Maddens up to the current one and Still prefer 2K5 to anything EA has made in the last 15 years. It's a shame the NFL sold out to EA, pissed them off when Sega priced 2K5 at $19.95 when new.

and it was a better game than the 60$ madden that year...

Agreed. I don't think I've enjoyed a football game since 2K5, which is nuts. The Madden games just get worse and worse.
