Bruh we waited on this game for like 3 years only for it to be a mobile card game? Wow

This is more or less what I expected.

Kind of what many of us thought was happening if a game were even still in the works. If we're going try and spin this positively, then we'd say the animations looked pretty fluid and this is maybe them working on the foundation for a more complex football game that will come out in the near future.

My question is it 11 on 11? If it is at least we can expect the console version of whatever they release should be the same.

Not my cup of tea; but welcome back to football 2k.

I’m with Canes. Hopefully this is just them laying the groundwork to release a console game at some point in the future if the NFL license were to ever open up.

So there’s at least one source on Twitter — Mike Straw of Insider-Gaming — who is saying that this NFL 2K game is not the only NFL 2K game that Take 2 intends to release: https://twitter.com/mikestrawmedia/s...40505321074870

I have no idea or opinion about Mike Straw’s reporting track record, and the brand name Insider Gaming has changed hands so many times that I don’t know how much credibility its current holders have. But take this information however you will.

I trust insider gaming. It's run by Tom Henderson who has been pretty reliable recently.

Anyway, I played this game for 15 minutes so you don't have to. To be clear: don't waste your time.

Imagine a stripped-down version Madden Ultimate Team where you don't get to control the players, the playbooks are stripped to the bone, there are no missions or quests, and the graphics and lighting look like NFL 2K5 (but all the players wear visors and long sleeves so there are no likenesses or really anything visually interesting).

The "gameplay" if you want to call it that is very similar to WWE Supercard — you pick a play, your opponent picks a play, those plays have some numbers which are compared, that result is modified by your key players' numbers, and then you watch a result play out on the field. Repeat until the game ends.

This bare-bones experience has the audacity to offer in-app purchases costing up to $100 so you may have more "content". To be clear, the content you're getting is static pictures of new players attached to better numbers.

This is a bad mobile game, but not in a way that is particularly novel or interesting. It's similar to a mobile football game I built a pitch deck for when I was still working in indie mobile games in Virginia... back in 2011.

It's honestly insulting that this game bears the name "NFL 2K". If you are looking for a Madden alternative, spend your money and time on literally any other football video game instead.

Definitely appreciate the honesty.

Not what I’m looking for. Hoping there is another football game dropping closer to the NFL season. If not, ah well back to playing other games and dreaming what could’ve been if not for exclusivity
