So, I think, 2ksports had the rights to MLB and that MLB the Show was a first party company so they could gain the rights to The Show. EA could not because they were third party company. Yet, OOTP got the rights to baseball. Thus, even though EA has the rights to the NFL, OOTP should still be able to get the rights to the NFL if they pay enough just like they did with the MLB. What do others think?

I for one really don’t see the need to fork that kind of cash out when everything is going to be “modable”

Except that EA has exclusive rights to the NFL. MLB does not give out exclusive rights, for whatever reason.

But 2KSports had or still have the rights to MLB. That is why EA Sports had to stop making baseball games.

This is based on no research whatsoever, but I remember their last few releases were absolute glitchy nightmares, and they were getting trounced by The Show, so I think they cut their losses and ended the series.

2k13 (the final one) was an exact copy paste of 12 with new rosters, like exact. I think they may have even taken a feature out. They didn’t even get new pictures for guys who changed teams or new callups/debuts. I believe it had something to do with a shortened dev time from the 2k execs but can’t remember exactly.

Does anyone know if the game is going to look like OOTP and the Hockey game? Similar format?

Asked and answered. http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=304008

Of course that pesky June 5, 2019 FOF9 update thread that is sticky(ed) at the top of this forum is pretty hard to find.

The idea of this merger is that yes, FOF will be adapted to the OOTP GUI. So in terms of how the game looks, it should be similar to OOTP one would think.

That being said, don't expect it to have all the same functionalities as OOTP, given that the baseball game has been in development for 20 years and this is a brand new partnership where they've had to do a lot of work to adapt FOF to fit into the OOTP GUI.

Sweed---too bad you didn't read the question nbryant asked !! He didn't ask if another promise that the game would come out had been made-----he asked IF the game was coming out---the promises of it coming out have been on going for better than 6 years so his question does seem fair !!! You can believe what you want thus far you've been wrong----if and when it comes out you will be right !!!

Maybe you could point out just where I've been wrong?

Dude, the lead (and really only) developer for BTS died unexpectedly. Given that circumstance, I think you can give the company a pass (unless you would like them to start adding in asterisks that game won't in fact be released if the man making it passes away).

It's just a football game, there are bigger things in life ... relax man.
