A post over at the NFL2K5 Forever forums brought the following to my attention. It appears Take-Two Interactive is currently polling people on it's forums about what they'd like to see in a "generic" professional football game.
I've never hidden the fact that I still believe the Xbox version of ESPN NFL2K5 is the best football game ever made, and the chances that Take-Two could be reviving the franchise despite EA's stranglehold over the rights to just about every major football organization on the planet make my mouth water at the possibilities.
Of course, this isn't the first time Take-Two has hinted that they could release another football title and there have been let downs before - such as the proposed "Football Legends" game, so take this one with a grain of salt.
To see just what I'm talking about, head over to the NFL2K5 Forever forum post here and the 2KSports football forums here. Please join me in hoping that not only does this rumor turn out to be true, but that the game will be highly editable. (I'd say let's hope that ESPN NFL2K5 gets added to the backwards compatibility list, but I've pretty much given up on ever seeing that happen.)
