NFL 2K Is Coming Back In 2021, Ending 15-Year-Old Exclusivity Deal With Madden

Current adolescents in their 20s hardly know NFL 2K, developed by Visual Concepts. Since 2004, the once-popular football video game series ended in EA signed an exclusively deal with the NFL to make Madden the only series allowed to use NFL team and player names, and eventually stopped at NFL 2K5 for about 15 years.

Then, there is explosive news that 2K Games is set to bring licensed NFL games back in America, which will drop in 2021 as planned as a multi-year partnership encompassing multiple future video games, from 2K Games.

As the only football game having exclusive NFL simulation rights with NFL teams, Madden NFL has completely occupied the entire market for more than a decade, and the return of NFL 2K will once again make it the most powerful competitor of Madden.

There is no doubt the arrangement has caused heated discussions among footballs and professional critics due to the bad experience in Madden series. Madden launches an update every year, and developed the current Madden NFL 20, but it is often criticized, and this time it is getting some competition in the world of football video games, which might push it further.

However, EA's long-running Madden NFL series will remain unchallenged in the high-end simulation market. That is, NFL 2k can't shake Madden's position in the football market in a short time.

Later knowing the return of NFL 2K, EA Sports released a statement assuring Madden fans that its NFL partnership remains in tact. It won't change that EA Sports is the exclusive publisher of NFL simulation games, and it also allowed for non-exclusive development of non-simulation games on various platforms, including NFL 2K. In the near future years, it will be building on that momentum with more new and different experience on platforms and with new ways to play.

Simply put, even if NFL 2K will return to football games in a whole new way, this will not affect the development of Madden NFL, they will coexist in a harmonious way and create the better games together.

Madden 20 Coins are almost sold out for better ultimate superstar, since this is the most successful game in Madden series, and its fan base is constantly expanding. Here is a store to buy and sell MUT 20 Coins, GameMS, to deal with the lack of coins. This is a petty good store to trade, and what you see personally is more real than you hear, welcome anytime.
