Without an NFL license, it would be for nothing. Americans are idiots that respond to name recognition. Look in this post! "I buy Madden because I'm an NFL fan and it's the only game we have." Without the Carolina Panthers or Aaron Rodgers being accurately represented, these people aren't going to support that football game no matter how great the physics engine may be.
True, believe me i hate the ea monopoly but ppl act like 2k aint got no shit with them either. Nba2k aint that great itself.
I want another nfl game to play but hopefully 2k aint the only ones allowed
