Why We Need an XFL Video Game
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 02. 2020
- The XFL is set to launch (or I guess re-launch) tomorrow, and the success of this league is something to keep an eye on, as the XFL is really our only hope for a high budget competitor to Madden. Competition is needed, and with Madden 20 being another bad game, this could be simulation football’s last hope. Will there be a XFL 2K game? XFL 2K20, 2K21, or 2K22? Maybe Sony or Microsoft make an XFL Gameday or XFL Fever? Maybe an XFL Blitz? I’ll take anything!

And that, kids, is the importance of competition
YaY
Competition always benefits the consumer
DrSaw 69 likes keep it that way
And capitalism ;)
I love my capitalism :)
You forgot something in the title, we need an xfl game not made by ea
2:39
Edit:I know you said "Title". I am just saying he made sure he said it with emphasis in the video.
Dacowboyz ea is too lazy to do that. Plus they wouldn’t see the point in a game that wouldn’t make them much money.
Considering this is owned by the wwe it goes without saying it would be a 2k game
Jacob Long agreed but it’s still feels good to shame ea
Dacowboyz the nfl wouldn’t allow ea to basically give free advertisements to their main competition
We need a XFL game
Yes:Like for yes
No:Unlike for no
@my name is DRAKE really?
@my name is DRAKE damn RIP XFL
2k
www.change.org/XFL_VideoGame
my name is DRAKE you don’t think it dipped because it’s a new league and people were curious? That literally happens with everything. A movie isn’t gonna sell as good as its opening weekend. Y’all gotta use your brains sometimes smh
There were moments I missed what this guy was talking about watching the gameplay in this. How the hell is this gameplay from a 2008 video game... the QB throws are BUTTER and the arcs they throw at are insane
TheGreek_13 for real the current maddens have trash animation
I actually enjoy the throwing mechanics in madden bc they feel like they got a little better than it used to be, the random inaccuracies is annoying. But ea stopped having to care when 2k lost the contract, although both companies have been pretty hammered for microtransactions 2k has always been the better developer of sports games and it shows with how much better those old games run
I was more focused on the running backs diving 85 feet in the air into the endzone
Madden has been ass for literally 12 years bruh because there’s no competition. I pray 2k make a successful xfl game just because
Hassan Haulcy rip Kobe and Gina 🙏😢
I would love Rockstar Games to make it. They make the most realistic games out there.
Micr0xchip 0xVerflow 2k could make a great story line
Mozemech stop fucking like chasing damn
Mozemech What Kobe got to do with this??
I would be so happy if the XFL comes out with a game
Why Not ok boomer
@@ba572 stfu
only if it's not owned by EA
Valorizer Watt its probably gonna be made by 2k because vince mcmahon has 2k making wwe games so I wouldn’t be surprised if they made an xfl game
Beast Boss24 stfu
"The difference is that the XFL is going to stick around,"
Yeah about that....
TheStapleGunKid
let’s face it, any football league that’s not the NFL, college football, or heck even the CFL. Is destined to fail no matter what. History has proven this.
@@RobertSmithhalo but the thing with the revived XFL is it did nothing to actually cause it to fold
Nathanial Meagher
doesn’t matter. It’ll still go down as another failed football league, along with the WFL, USFL, XFL (2001), UFL, AAF, and even the arena football league. Not trying to be a hater or anything, just keeping it real.
You realize that we don’t have an nfl either? Once the lockdown ends they’ll both come back
@@GLee-oe3op The XFL won't. They've already said they aren't coming back.
2 months later-
We need an XFL
The Rock:
I got you mate
Makes perfect sense and if Vince McMan has a brain he will do this considering he’s putting 2 times the amount of money into it
I'm sure Vince would and could give 2k money to make it. And make sure its 10x's better than madden
2k already makes WWE games so why not the XFL
@@jamesforbes1173 but...the wwe 2k series is trash...
Ethan Burt But imagine if EA made WWE games. It would be even worse
Jake Harner he probably dose but will wait a few years and working on it
Am I the only one just watching the clips amazed at the physics the old football games had like damn those catches looked amazing and nothing like how we have now
Billy Dotson It’s fucking crazy bro
Jstacks what the hell happened to EA
They used real football players for motion capture! madden just puts some guys off the streets to motion capture for their game...
This was all pro football 2k8
And the type of tackles they were slippin by with like how running backs & receivers do in real life but in madden 9 times out of 10 you'll get sucked into an animation lol
You'll be lucky if Vince releases an XFL game, he can barely keep hold of a WWE title, especially after the disaster of WWE2k20
people say 2k is so much better because a football game from 15 years ago. 2k is absolutely shitty and bland with horrible gameplay
There is no way any team could make a quality game and sell it for $20. However you do all the same things and make it even $60. It still will sell
People will preorder $120 before the game even comes out, $60 has been the standard for years
Maybe 30 or 40
They can make the game $20 but they will lose money for the first couple of game titles but after the game has a solid fanbase they can raise the price to start profiting and if the game is good, it would create conpetition for Madden and both Madden and the xfl game will have to improve their content every year instead of what is going on now where Madden is releasing basically the same game every year and people are buying it because they don't have a choice.
I doubt many people will actually buy a $60 XFL game, especially since it would likely be trash
In all honesty debuting at $40 does the same thing. It's cheaper to try and build marketshare but isn't just giving the game away.
This brought a tear to my eye...
Its what the real fans want.
This will get people (to at least notice it) have 2k make it and have colin Kaepernick on the cover and have him sign first to one of the most popular xfl teams
@@kidmiic1733 Kaepernick doesn't want to play for the XFL, just like he didn't want to play for the AAF.
@@thefandalorian6568 damn bro he trippin I didn't know that thanks man
@@kidmiic1733 I'd like to see him get another shot. But he's holding out for bigger money than what they'll offer.
@@thefandalorian6568 dang if bro really missed football he would give the xfl a shot I'm hoping he does
I would buy this game and would be hyped for it
Me too
Imagine a career mode where you can actually interact with your environment how cool would that be walking around the locker room talking to teammates actual trophy presentations MVP presentations press conference stuff like they have in real life it would be amazing if I could answer questions get endorsements stuff like that
Oh hell yea guys
We should all sign a petition asking that xfl make a football game with 2k
Fuck the NFL for letting EA have a monopoly.Who does that?In no way did this make better game for for the fans and it's like they don't give a shit.Which is crazy to me because many of the fans of football became fans because of video games.Video games made the game make sense and gave players some thing to reference to.
“The difference, though, is that the XFL is going to stick around.”
Sheesh, hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but that is just tough.
The rock says The XFL stays
I agree completely. Watching through your videos this week has really made me understand why I keep playing the PS2 era football games like Madden 06 and 2K5. For a long time I thought I was missing something when I would try out Madden 20. That the game was maybe just more complicated and that's why I didn't enjoy as much.
But no, they're just poorly made games. Hopefully an XFL game could remind everyone why those mid-00s NFL games were so fun in the first place. The league itself also seems promising, I had a good time watching the first few games
You make great videos captain midnight
Thank you
I thought about this as soon as the league rules were announced
Imagine EA gets rights to make XFL game.
Please no
Fan will remember that
I’ll cry
I'd cry. Literally. Fuck EA.
vince onws the xfl so the same people who made wwe2k20 would make the xfl and u dont want that. just look at wwe2k20 to see why u dont want that
GGFERRET59 amen
I love this idea it would be so amazing but they could never make a $20 game it would have to be at the least $40
I was going to say the same thing
That what I been thinking don't you gotta pay the player/league for there likeness.
With new generation systems coming out. . It will be 65 atleast lol .. i wouldn’t play this shit lol
Last time I checked 2k started out as a 20 dollar game and was for years. And I'm old school when you could only play 2k games on sega dreamcast big facts
Nate 60$ has always been the standard idk what your talking about
Imaging Pat McAfee announcing the games in the game would be so great since he will be calling games in the league.
Football gods have finally heard our plea
Yes indeed.
Edit May 2020: yikes lol. Corona killed the XFL. Rip
Midway no longer exists. Just wanted to clear that up as I mentioned them potentially making an XFL Blitz game in the video.
Oh well, I just want some competition for madden.
Yeah the main reason I want this is for EA to make a good game
lmao I made a comment a couple days ago basically goin over the idea, Glad to see you made a video about it
We need a xfl game
And EA bought the rights to the Blitz series
unfortunately, this will never happen now.
me and my dad had season tickets for the renegades😭
Such an awesome opportunity for the XFL to break out, hope they capitalize.
😅🤣😂
Yeah about that
2K does the WWE games right? I’m sure they already have a deal to launch an XFL game after the first season 🤔
BenjiDolja idk man. Wwe 2k20 was a blunder. The 1st game could be great but I'm sure mcmahon will want that annual release schedule.
If they did what activision does with the call of duty series with multiple development teams alternating annual releases (allowing each team 2 years per respective release), it would be more efficient. Say what you want about agressive microtransactions (i haven't bought a cod game since the original black ops) but mechanically, the games are sound. No bugs, glitches, etc. Or little, if any.
@@wackoyacko4541 What I think would be best is if they released a new game every 2 years, and continue to update the game through that time with rosters, rules, stats, etc. Just the things that can be done rather quickly without taking time away from the new game.
vikwingx that's whassup. I'm not a big fan of football. Never purchased a madden game in my life (i loved blitz).
However, i advocate for worker's rights and consumer awareness. Crunch culture is bad for both the worker and consumer because so much pressure in very little time is put on the development team to release a quality game. Then the consumer buys a rushed garbage product because they don't follow the development schedule or wait for reviews, etc.
At any rate, madden could use some competition. Some of the best wrestling games came out in the late 90s because WCW was a viable threat to the WWF.
@@wackoyacko4541 Side note: The development team at Yukes left during WWE 2k20 development which in turn hurt the release of the game. Due to 2k rushing to meet the set deadline. Still 2k & WWE fault for not being transparent about issues in the game from release, but should be noted as a reason for the incompetence of the game from rush development to little to no play tests.
Infamous Horse they might have been better off just cancelling it. 2K21 could be the best wwe game ever but 20 was such a shitshow, fans will probably sleep on it.
Mlb probably has the smoothest offline gameplay out of all sports games
Rydawg 26 get San Diego studios to make it and you got a good game
Scuzzithree 2k+ San Diego studios collab= in-depth rtts and smooth gameplay in diamond dynasty or 2k with better gameplay.
Tropicalfire yes
"The xfl is going to stick around" big oof. I really hope they can figure something out and come back though, purely so they can make something to compete with madden.
The Rock has saved the day and bought it
I know what XFL needs too add:
When tackling hard, the helmet falls off.
Madden used to have that animation too
I think the beginning is just you describing your wet dream last night
You know just let them have it. It's not like EA's FIFA is hot garbage and Konami reguarlly "competes" with them in PES every year, but if people want to dream of Take 2 not making an XFL game like RDR2, GTA5, WWE 2k20, then leave them to it. They point to 05' 2K I"ll point to 20' 2K.
I know WWE 2K sucks, but when you mention RDR2, GTA V, and NBA 2K, all of those games have incredible offline experiences. That is exactly what I want. RDR2 was incredible with the offline story
@@leihamada4672 I'm confused about throwing GTA and RDR2 in that list. Aren't Take Two and 2K completely different companies? Or at least they handle vastly different genres of games? WWE2K yeah that's 2K sports but I don't understand throwing GTA in there when we're talking about a new 2K Sports game. Am I missing something? Also, just imagine an EA GTA right now. It would be exponentionally worse than it is.
@@shreknskrubgaming7248*Would you like to get in the car?* $20
*Turn it on?* $25
*Put it into drive?* $50
*Commit a crime?* $500
I would definently support this game
Seen my first XFL game Houston vs LA... LOVED IT! I Look forward to a developer taking advantage of the video gaming market for XFL... 2k here is your chance to rise back on top! I'd gladly support it without question.
Hearing you talk about that Sony bit reminds me of when the BA series existed. Yes, we had NBA Live, NBA 2K, various licensed NBA games AND Sony's NBA series, like NBA 06 for example (which also has a career/story mode)
You guys want a XFL game all you have to do is Support The league 🙌
Let's play Retro Games so much this. The league has to survive before someone makes a game. People wanted an AAF game and the league didn’t last a season
We need a actually company that cares about the game.. Because 2k is not the best situation they don't care about the consumer either
Big Ant Studios.
Bring in any indie game studio that is actually trying to improve their games just like last year.
@Go Blue on top of somehow making gameplay worse/glitchy
I'm honestly already very excited about the XFL, and the idea of a videogame is only better.
Hear me out: XFL Tecmo Bowl
Saw this on your Twitter and immediately got hyped
I can hear your profile picture
@@DeathsWhistle Don't worry, I won't have you lashed to a cross like the rest of these degenerates.
yes we need a new XFL video if they do I will crap my pants because I don't want to deal with ea bull most of the time dear lord please
I really hope they go through with this. Doing my part to support the XFL, even going to the Guardians game on Sunday! XFL make this happen!!!
I really hope if they do make a game there is customization like you said. It would really capture the essence of what most people love about the xfl. Something fresh and new
Hopefully you could see the team a player played on in the past
No no ties to thw nfl
They couldn’t legally do it, it would be a tie in to the NFL. All they could show is their college.
They should be fine doing this if they just list a city’s name. The NFL does not have the rights to the names “Miami”, “Chicago”, etc.
Onyx Penguin the NFL isn’t that dumb, they could easily still make a case for that.
Besides most of the dudes in the XFL haven’t even played a snap in the NFL, it would be too risky to go through all that just to have like 10 dudes have NFL stats.
Literally just remake 2k5 but with different teams and start from there it will still be 1000x better than Madden
The problem is you cant just record the 2K5 engine two console generations of seperation. Thats the only real problem.
This is getting me really hyped for a xfl game and the years to come
Just the thought of playing the senior year for my alma mater - the ONLY non-USA school in the NCAA - before moving on to the XFL makes me hyped.
I once said that football gaming would never be good again... We might have some hope here. Rise up gamers!
We have a chance to change
Hopefully
Nba 2k is the deepest, most customizable sports title
You are 100% Correct
Yet its still an atrocious game with mentally ill AI and devs who dont give two fucks about the users
@@user-em1dl6jk1j yep very true.. It's kinda sad some Madden players really think 2k is all that but 2k players have it as bad as Madden in many aspects at least they don't have to deal with having someone like Ronnie 2k or having no community manager for years
Аяcнøп I agree to an extent. I’ve been playing 2k since the Dreamcast so I’ve felt the shift over the years. 2k20 isn’t the greatest game (I’d give 2k11 and 2k16 the tie for that). I’d say 2k19 is a better overall game than 20, with 20 having park rep and removable/customizable badges in my career being the only redeeming quality. But the 2k basketball games have a far better franchise/my league mode than madden ever had and will ever have. Everything from logos, colors, relocations, expansions, custom rosters, custom sliders for everything and every game mode, cyberfaces, mods. You can reskin the entire game to have ESPN, TNT, FOX, etc. presentation. You can turn NBA 2k back into college hoops 2k. Honestly, in my opinion, a lot of the flack that 2k gets is from my team and my career/park, but if you experiment with my league, it can take your mind off the my career. Especially if you play an online my league with friends and you can turn it into an online competitive my career.
@@dannyphantom47 very true but idk if the same team would be working on football
Man those sideline interviews would be dope!An no nfl shield would give use hard hits etc.
2 months later and an xfl game will never happen
$20 for the caliber of what you're asking is pretty unrealistic. $40 mid-market game with a healthy post-release support system and roadmap is probably a better model
Please let 2K Sports make this.
Why? 2k isnt better than ea. Look at wwe serie or even better the nba serie. Both became greed3technical nightmares
@@taskfootball10 ok 1. 2K Sports IS than EA Sports. 2. Look at what EA done to Madden they haven't changed anything since 25 these modern games still has the glitches and bugs time and time again and EA doesn't seem to try to fix their mistakes and they just keep the same mechanics. EA Sports just don't care about the gameplay.
@@kingmo8789 how? Did u live under a rock the last couple of years? 2k is disgusting like ea and nothing will change it. They dont care about us customers.. so how are they better than ea ?
@@taskfootball10 at least 2K Sports has create-a-team, it shows the league's history, and it has a decent career mode. EA Sports lacks a franchise mode and instead of having a create-a-team it has an option to relocate a team with the SAME cities (aside of San Diego and St. Louis), team names, uniforms, and stadiums. It's so lame. And Madden's Ultimate Team is a waste of time and the team you have from the previous game does NOT save other which is also a waste of money.
@@kingmo8789 man don't argue with that dumbass idiot. When you look at NBA 2K their franchise mode is far and away better than Madden franchise mode. That guy can disagree all he wants. NBA 2k is far more realistic than Madden the animations on NBA 2k are far better than Madden.
some of the things that 2K have done over the last 4 or 5 years and rightfully so, but the fact of the matter is. 2K franchise mode is more deeper more realistic and more immersive than any Madden franchise mode since Madden 08.
I'm still playing 2k5
As a long time madden player, I couldn't agree more! Great video as per usual!
Buddy, buddy, buddy, Midway is dead, the blitz games are now owned by EA
Blitz The League 3 will never happen but it should've. Best arcade football series ever. Closest thing we have to it now is Mutant Football League.
Damn that's dirty. They literally bought the competition before another publisher could.
trashman 70 ugh man that sucks
AllPro777 facts
Was just talking to my friend about this, such a good idea. PLEASE DO IT XFL
We need this!!!! Definitely create teams and stadiums give us a list of stadiums to choose from like 8 or more custom uniforms custom players. A play only mode doesn’t have to come from college but I would be ok if there wasn’t a story mode we need this
Well this aged amazingly
I never realized how well 2k8 played until now lol
The gameplay is excellent it just lacks modes to keep the replay value up.
@@JayJoe1984 I find replay value in a football game that plays like football. To me, Madden has a ton of modes but no replay value because the game plays like a joke.
@@AllPro777 cool, I don't play madden. But APF2k8 doesn't have the same replay value as Nfl2k5, (a major reason the game flopped) theres more surrounding the gameplay.
Imagine a franchise mode where you can play on the same team with other users
I totally agree with this video, it's just I believe that it underestimates the power of complacency.
Thanks for all your hard work bro
3:02 you cannot do that in a madden game
It's 2k08 not madden
Mr. bot we know
@@osamasonfan ya but he didnt so shut up
@@osamasonfan nah im jokin
Please make this 2k
With the new XFL 3.0 around I would love to see 2K make a game from this.
What would make it even better is find a way to have all 3 versions of it that you could play as a story mode
to give it a nice homage to its history.
Hope it happens.
Thanks again.
Great points! Hope this game is made.
I love how MLB the show is never talked about at all in these. But really, you should try them, franchise and RTTS are both pretty good, and very little actual microtransactions are needed, as stubs are earned very quickly.
The reason why it's not talked about is because it's not available on both consoles hopefully soon that will be rectified.
MLB is the best sport's game on the market. It got me watching baseball faithfully. When before I didn't. Sports games as a hole has a problem. And that's card based gaming.
This video got me too hype for an XFL game and now I’m sad there’s no good high quality football game on current gen
Can’t believe you only have 36k subscribers your content is great
Absolutely 100% we the fans need this.
Anything would be better than Madden
Im with you on that
this man clearly hasn’t heard of *ronnie2cap* watch him say
“xfl 2022 will have underwater football fields”
Ya gem Knksksk I don’t think Ronnie 2k was part of nhl 2k games so I think it will be safe
Fax
Ronnie is the leader of the nba2k series. He is not in the conversation in any other 2k games.
The most underrated part of 2k my league is the social media and how you will know if that was a good trade u did because people on social media will bash u about it
Last madden I bought was madden 25. I remember the old 2k NFL games had an amazing franchise mode that madden has never matched.
Been watching your vids for a while (love the channel) and it seems that every sports genre has regressed in quality since the PS2 era. Honestly I think the best sports game available now is the Codemasters Formula 1 games. Deep career mode featuring car development, contract negotiations, great gameplay, can be played like a sim OR an arcade racer, no micro transactions in offline modes, etc. But its a niche market, at least here in the United States. I have The Show 19 since it was free on PSPlus a while ago and it seems alright. I've only played RTTS so far. Its fine but pretty repetitive. I picked up 2K19 when it was like $3 during the holidays but still haven't played it, but it sounds pretty good. It's just sad that games have gotten WORSE even though the technology keeps getting better.
Man if this were to happen it be like a weight has finally been lifted from us!
Maybe bring back a combination of the cinematics of Backbreaker's x-ray injuries and the leaving-the-field graphics of Tecmo. Just a suggestion.
Imagine a football game where the franchise mode is you start in flag football, go up to c team, b, a, middle school football etc. just imagine playing that. That would be INSANE
If this happens they should add all the original xfl teams as "historic teams"
Your a genuis,message them and tell them that
@@SM-4359 thank you, the only problem would be to get the rights to the players name
How many years until I'm paying 100 coins to pull a 99 ovr He Hate Me out of a virtual pack?
@@bricethompson1922 have you heard on the 12th of February ppl are going to send mail the xfl
@@SM-4359 what people and mail???
Calm down lets get through 1 season of the XFL first.
So far it's doing good 😉👍.
@@neal6473 absolutely hopefully it keeps up
Imo, there should be a myplayer type mode (similar to 2k) where u can make a specific player and go to a public field to play modes such as 7on7, Rb vs Lb, Wr vs Cb, QB drills, etc. I think that this idea would blow Madden out of the water.
If they add a “make your own play” mode, then we’ll talk it would be fun because there are double forward passes
Y’all acting like these games wouldn’t be riddled with micro transactions and everything else you hate about madden. It’s not 2008 anymore
Miles Barnett no one really cares about micro transactions...at least not people that play Franchise and Career. Only MUT players do that shit.
7:55 open your fucking ears and listen dumbass. We talkin about franchise mode and better gameplay and presentation, not no fucking online MUT heads.
Could we get a history of nba live nba 2k plz?
Bro I’m so happy we have football in the off-season. Football is my favorite part of the year and with the Xfl I get football in the normal offseason. #tampabayvipers
They need to bring back the fight for the fumble feature back. Yes it’s not a fix to how bad animations are after a player fumbles, but at least it’s better than what we have. I personally enjoyed mashing buttons and competing for the recovery.
I would love a 2k XFL game it would be much better than madden
This will get people (to at least notice it) have 2k make it and have colin Kaepernick on the cover and have him sign first to one of the most popular xfl teams
If 2K is involved and it comes out I’d buy it 100%
This may be a good thing or it could be a bad thing. we just have to wait to see what happens
Great video as always man! 🔥
It's not "Niche" players who dislike Madden. Everyone who plays knows the game is rigged and scripted. We just have no other options....
I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR THE LONGEST 😂
2k basketball is the exact same lol. its heavily animation based and 2k football will most likely play the same being an animation bullshit script fest.
I would buy this game if 2K made it. Hell I would buy 2 copies. XFL2K FOOTBALL yeah that's would work
They should make an idea like NFL park, something like mypark in 2k where you can play different positions and go against online people. When you score you switch from offense to defence.
dude keep making vids.. you are awesome
Video summary: We need more capitalism in our football video games!!
Iron Man Gaming capitalism is ea buying blitz before another publisher could and compete with it. Midway has been dead since the late 2000s
Wacko Yacko free market capitalism encourages competition, and monopolies should be dismantled
@@samkorman8075 In theory, capitalism encourages competition, but in practice it leads to monopolization. The only way to demonopolize an industry is through government intervention and regulation.
@@tylerray19701 You also forget the part where government is the sole reason behind some monopolies and oligopolies. There is a equilibrium that's hard to reach with regulation.
Exactly competitive markets work best
An xfl game sounds so good
that montage towards the end of the video just blows away madden haha
I would love in depth playbook customization a la old school tecmo style. I got madden 20 and was baffled. It played completely different than I thought it would. Definitely offputting. But modded ncaa tecmo slaps. It's simple and in depth at the same time.
Give the rights to 2K
Also tecmo could release another nfl game too
I hope if an XFL game does happen, it needs to be like an NHL game. Amazing team and player creator good gameplay and a great career mode
I was thinking about this earlier when I was playing madden
