XxEvil AshxX Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 There was a time when I would've thought an NFL-less football game would've been a pointless endeavor... but, nowadays, it's not so silly a thought. There are several reasons for this; for one, pretty much everyone is tired of EA's bullshit. Madden has been a joke for years, and now we've learned that EA has secured the exclusive NFL license for at least the next few years. It feels like we won't ever get to play another good football game, ever. I think people would be willing to play a great football game, even if it didn't have licensed teams. I know, 2K tried this with All-Pro Football back when it lost the license, and it bombed, as it was extremely generic. But that was then. That was before online streaming, before deep character and decal customization, before e-sports. If e-sports have proven anything, it's that it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's fun and there's a healthy community. If only there was a way to get people in with a really low cost of admission... oh, hello GAME PASS. Bring back AMPED, toss Forza Motorsport under the umbrella, and you already have an Xbox branded sports network tied together by game pass and xbox live. MLB doesn't hold onto its license nearly as tightly as NFL does, so that wouldn't be off the table either. Also, I would totally play a generic Wrestling game if it was a throwback to WCW vs NWO with excellent character customization. C'mon MS, do it. Doooo iiiiiit!

I DEFINITELY think there should be another Amped though. Talk about missing an opportunity. Amped and Amped 2 were alright, but when they mixed up the formula for Amped 3, it was excellent.

Ghost_MH Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 This would only really work as a pure esports endeavor. All custom players on an all custom team controlled by multiple players. I would totally watch that, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 While I agree that XSN was great and we need another amped there might be some difficulty depending on what hold/rights 2k/2k sports has on the series due to Amped 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah, apparently MS doesn't own Amped. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
