Madden is getting some competition: today publisher 2K and the NFL announced a new multiyear, multi-game partnership for new football titles. No specific titles were mentioned, and its not clear which 2K studio will be handling the franchise, but the publisher says that its first NFL game will be out in 2021. The projects are described as being in early development.

The big question, of course, is what this means for the juggernaut that is EAs Madden series. From the sounds of it, not much will change. The 2K partnership is specifically for non-simulation football game experiences, which suggests arcade-like games to complement EAs more realistic offering. (If were lucky, that means a spiritual revival of NFL Blitz.) Expanding the NFLs presence in the world of gaming has become a focus for the league as we look to grow the next generation of our fanbase and reviving our partnership with 2K was a natural step in that effort, Joe Ruggiero, the NFLs senior VP of consumer products, said in a statement.
The news marks a return of sorts, as 2K previously made the NFL 2K series, which started on the Dreamcast and culminated with NFL 2K5 in 2004. Visual Concepts, the studio behind the NFL 2K series, was acquired by 2K parent company Take-Two in 2005 and has spent the intervening years in the sports space making games based on the NHL, NBA, and WWE. Were thrilled to be back in business with the NFL in a partnership that will span multiple video games centered on fun, approachable, and social experiences, 2K president David Ismailer said in a statement.

The arcade aspect is laughable though given how fucking unrealistic Madden has always been for like 15 years now. Now can we get non-EA Star Wars games PLEASE!

Would be interesting if this were still the early 2000s. I have no faith in 2K to produce something that would be customer friendly.

The best football games are the arcade types or unrealistic ones anyway.

This, they have turned their monopoly on the NBA into something WAAAAAY worse and more predatory than anything else in the industry.

They are fucking trash

NBA 2k is riddled with mtx sure but MyLeague is still 100 times better than Madden franchise mode. Gameplay is way better too.

As long as it's not exclusive and ea and 2k have to compete. It will be good.

Blitz: The League was actually pretty fun. It just got insanely unfair sometimes. There was a team I was going up against that had a star player with the attribute of having the stickiest hands; if you tossed the ball anywhere in his general direction 9 out of 10 times he'd snatch it right out of the air.

I haven't played the game since then, but talking about it has kinda made me wanna scratch the itch.

The only thing I want is a decent franchise mode with actual cap and CBA rules.

Its insulting how dumb franchise mode is for Madden.

The kneejerk reaction of a non-EA NFL game really made me forget NBA 2K20 existed.

If franchise mode is in it I don't really care about the mt stuff that much. MyLeague is still light years ahead of Madden's franchise mode.

oh shit

I was hoping for an XFL game from them but this is amazing. Also for the people hating on 2k, their pay-to-win modes are bad (and not even worth playing tbh) but the rest of the game is fantastic. Madden is terrible in every way. Madden's gameplay is inherently broken.

Like other have said, if this were around 2005ish I'd be ecstatic. 2k has lost their way, and I'd eat the biggest crow if this game isn't monetized to hell and back.

Maybe competition with Madden will make 2K get on their shit. The monopoly they have with the NBA games have led the drop in quality.

Not a football guy but it's good to have different developers making a NFL game. Even soccer has the Fifa and PES series.

TBH even if it is non-simulation when the 2k game gets much better reviews and much better sales hopefully the NFL will cut their exclusivity bs
