Somewhat OT: ESPN NFL2k5

Repoman23 · Post by **Repoman23** » Sun Aug 14, 2005 6:17 pm

I realize this is somewhat outside of the dreamcast realm but I thought id try to ask anyways.

As you may already know, EA sports has bought out the rights to be the exlusive makers of any NFL football games from now on.

So their is no more 2K games from sega as far as NFL goes.

My question is, does anyone know if they are going to continue to update their rosters via online downloads? Cause I don't want to buy Madden but I want the rosters updated.

I dont really care about the roster thing. But due to the stupid madden / NFL deal, this is what i own:

NFL2K2(DC) NFL BLITZ 2001(DC) , NFL FEVER 2004(XBOX) NFL2K3(XBOX) NFL2K5(XBOX), ESPN PRIMETIME 2002(PC) And i plan to buy blitz league, the new football game coming out.

I just started a new season on nfl2k3 and i am happy, i never was a madden fan, so i am good until the deal runs out.

You should just go out and buy the football games that i listed and have.

Yea I know believe me im not buying anything from EA period.

When does this gay deal run out?

The thing is i think 2k5 is like the perfect game so I don't need any other ones just new rosters.

these might help you if the game doesn't update the rosters itself

you will need a way to get the save to your harddrive though (obviously)

an action replay, a modded xbox with ftp support, or just a usb adaptor to connect your pc and xbox controller will work.

First of all, I like your name. Reminds me of great 90's WWF wrestling.

. Secondly, they inked a 5 year deal. I believe it may be terminated sooner than that though...

For links to new rosters you can try http://www.2ksports.com and go into the forum section. Also, try http://forums.operationsports.com/vBull ... _index.php

NFL blitz is a very good series. I hope to see it stick around.

I've never bought an EA game since Road Rash 3.

well actually it was Battlefield 1942 but that doesn't count!

This has absolutly nothing to do with Dreamcast. We have an OT forum for a reason.

Same with me, except my last one was NFL 2K1. I don't care who makes the games - why should I? I would play games developed my my grandmother, if they were enjoyable. All that really matters is that you enjoy the game. I don't understand how you (not directed at Nick) can bash Madden 2006, and yet you have not played it...

EA has commited a crime against morality?

Post by **|darc|** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 9:38 pm

I'd consider monopoly immoral.

Maybe if you are talking about a company who has suddenly bought up the worlds water supply, and is selling it at a premium.... For some reason, I don't shed a tear for a video game company that is going to lose an NFL franchise.

Post by **|darc|** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 10:01 pm

Then we disagree. I find monopoly immoral.

EA's deal goes against everything that the free market is based on. Without the competition there is not need to try any harder. They have something the addicts want, and there's nothing you can do about.

But really, how many football games can you have? Save $30 and go buy last years version, I'm sure it's just as good.
