[ABLaw]

If anyone knows how long the exlusive NFL license or NCAA license last, please let me know, because I want to know about when 2K can make another NFL game or perhaps venture into the college areana.

Nah, it's 2010. There were rumors NFL was disappointed they went with only 1 game making company.. but I personally am scuuured they are gonna re-new it in 2010.

i've heard 2010 give or take a year but these guys on this forum will know better than me. i definitly want 2k to make a college game. i think 2k can implement the option game very nicely that complements how awesome there gameplay is already, and u can already see how they make a realistic crowd atmosphere so with a college game they can charge it up a bit w/ all the chants and band playing. i can see 2k going as far as after a touchdown bringing in awesome historic anamation that teams do, example: (soonersam will like this one)....

Mnvic19 -- Did you have any success playing online PS3? Was UPnP already enabled on your router?

I saw little improvement. I went to the main screen where I set up my WEP but didn't see anything regarding uPnP. There was an option to add my PS3 to the network but I didn't bother to do that there. I did enable uPnP from my control panel. I checked off something that said uPnP from a network components folder. From there it picked up my PS3. I tested my connection to my PS3 and it said uPnP is available and I had a NAT type 2. I was able to connect with players a little bit better but I still got kicked off....

Thanks for your help on this.

2010 huh....well if the NFL is truely disappointed, because Madden sucks, it should it open it back up to competition, which usually helps to field better games

something like that takes common sense, might be a stretch there. i think what they see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Yes that would be awesome, also with all the talk of all pro being every 2 years, why not have all american football to fill in the gap. You already have a bunch of legends sign, just double the number by adding in some college studs on the same game engine.

i wasn't too thrilled at the idea of playing a football game without the nfl licence but being the guy that i am and remembering how much i loved ESPN NFL 2k5, i figured it was worth a shot. now that i have the game, ive realised that the right to use the nfl licence isnt realy all that. it just isnt as fun as creating your own team from scratch. i play online and i must say i get sick of seeing the same teams when i play. the complete lack of redundancy in what you see on the screen is enough to make it enjoyable.

i heard one guy refeer to the team creation process as "martha stuart-like". i say "what's wrong with being creative". am i a **** just because i know how to make a good looking uniform. as a musician, im always trying to create riffs, songs, artwork, and various things like that. not too sure how relative it is in this particular thread but i figured id add it in while im on the subject.

i guess my point is that it realy doesnt matter if EA gets the licence again or if it becomes fair game again.
