I'm still salty about EA getting the exclusive NFL license. NFL 2K5 was a better game than Madden and they made the ballsy move of selling it for $20 brand new the day it came out. EA got so spooked they spent who knows how much locking down an exclusive license.

Though in hindsight who knows what a 2K NFL game would look like today. With the way they butchered their NBA games I don't have much faith that an NFL game would be any better.

NBA 2k today suffers from the same problem Madden suffers from today: no studios competing with them to push them into making a better product.

Who knows if the latest PES (which looks absurdly good) will push EA to make fifa worth a damn again, but at least we’ve got choices in futbol games now.

Edit: No seriously, look at this trailer for PES2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_89i5H1zAeU it's amazing
