I just want a football game that does more than update the rosters year over year. Tired of playing the same old crap from like the Madden 2005 engine! We deserve true next gen!Can't imagine a Microsoft published game will have extensive mod support.

At least it looks better than Bloodborne
You're right. Nothing topped NFL Gameday. Too bad they cancelled it.
Not only would I get an XBOne Id probably build a whole new rig to play football on PC if this game delivers.
Completely agree. I would definitely invest in this.This would be great. The last NFL 2k game is better than what Madden is today!
Back Breaker and All Pro Football were very promising games that just needed time to develop! Madden has had decades worth of additions, hard to compete right away!
I really liked OG Joe Montana Football too!
You know my feelings on this whole thing all too well old friend.Completely agree. I would definitely invest in this.
So I made a concept cover. Call me 2K

So I take it that no one has found any proof that a first-party clause actually exists in the contract right?
Unlike in the past, when EA was glad to boast about their exclusive contract, they've gone completely silent this time when it comes time to talking exclusivity. Which makes this all seem even more legit.
How would this work without the NFL license?
The EA NFL license only applies towards multi platform games I believe. Also, the NFL and Microsoft are already pretty cozy with the NFL content on Xbox One. I think Microsoft could have their version of MLB: The Show, only with a far more popular sport.
If this has some true Visual Concepts development, especially Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe commentary, I am TOTALLY in.

Microsoft should start working in Allen Iverson basketball 2017 now

Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe commentary would make any sports game GOTF.
Seriously, one of the best parts of the 2k games and something Madden STILL doesn't get right.
Bring back the telestrator

No one has any proof that this game exists, period. Just a Reddit post and a Joe Montana tweet from last year.

No this not true...EA has rights to PC and Console NFL games...mobile NFL games are different..or used to be.
The MLB license is the one that allows 1st party versions of the sport.
Seriously you hit the nail on the head. I have pet go all these things to see them brought back up is a travesty. Their idea to remove things is just so mind-boggling to me.There were so many things EA introduced and then just abandoned for no real reason. Here are some of the features they touted then just let fade away.
Madden 05
- Create a fan
- Create a team
-Team Newspapers (Some were even licensed)
- The Tony Bruno Radio Show
-Mini Camp and Training camp
-Stadium Upgrades ( There was even a virtual goal post)

-Cheerleaders
Madden 06
-Superstar Mode ( Start by taking the quizlet, doing interviews, signing an agent, movie roles,moving from different apartments,etc.)
-Vision Cone
-Precision Passes

-NFL combine ( 40yd dash, bench press, position drills)
- Live weather updates powered by the Weather Channel
-Playing field would get muddy if playing in rain or snow
- ESPN radio updates and live ticker
- Create a Superbowl ring
-Al Michaels and John Madden were dropped as announcers in favor of a generic radio announcer

Vision cone could have been a really nice idea with a bit of fine tuning.
Vision cone was cool, but idk, I don't think it made much sense.
He kinda looks like Bobby Flay in that picture. Is this a football game or a cooking sim that I'm buying? Either way, color me intrigued...So I made a concept cover. Call me 2K

Pretty much. I won't even think about Madden.
Eff EA and the NFL license.
It didn't make sense when guys like Peyton had enormous FOVs. I get he is awesome but cmon.
Also, for MS "On PC" means streamed to a pc if you own an xbox 1.
Well, for him since he's a timing based quarterback that would make sense. He isn't going to rollout to get someone open.
Where now, Russell Wilson in that system would probably have half of Peyton's cone but it's made up for in his ability to scramble and get people open.
It would have been nice to have a real progression system instead. There should be a window in each route where the receiver is most likely to catch the ball and the QB is most likely to throw a good pass. Check the 1st route, 2nd route, 3rd route. then have a scramble rating for the QB and WR/TE/RB to determine how good a QB throws when a play breaks down (Wilson would be 99) and how open receivers can get when a route ends (Megatron would be a 99).
That's in the game now. The receiver icons are faded out and are solid when they are "open". It's a very subtle feature.
