I haven't ever played the NFL 2K games, so how non-simulation are they compared to NFL Blitz?
NFL 2k, especially 2k5, was a better simulation then Madden.
That exclusive license (and EA being lazy as fuck) has killed NFL games for well over a decade now.
I doubt we'll get a Blitz style game out of this, as the NFL, due to the CTE/concussion issue, wants to move away from things like this.
Hopefully, with EA's contract ending soon, the NFL moves away from this exclusive bullshit and we can start getting more NFL games.
I miss having games like 2k, Gameday, QB Club.
It might even force EA to pull their heads out of their asses and start making good football games again (something they haven't done since 2005)
I miss having options.
