What is XLF?
Googling only brings me to a lot of financial sites/info
Edit: I just noticed you typed XLF
One makes money. The other doesn't.Whats the actual differences between XFL and NFL? If its just minor differences...
Talent, like the other league that folded this year, they basically got the NFL scraps, guys the NFL deem not fit for their league..Whats the actual differences between XFL and NFL? If its just minor differences...
Only NetherRealms has both the understanding of arcade-y football styles and will be able to do justice to the animation of seeing someone's spine snap because the game doesn't have a fair catch system
It would actually be hilarious if 2K started development on the game, didn't finish before the league went bust, then just bought the name outright.If they're going to "capitalize" off of it, it better be well into development. Kind of pointless to release a game a year after it closes shop.
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like they're scripting matches. Rather, this is Vince assuming the rest of America is as racist as he is, and are all ready to jump ship on the NFL because of the anthem thing.I dunno, maybe it's that I'm not familiar with Backbreaker enough but I understood that to be more of a serious sim than Blitz was (or at least more 'realistic' in the sense that BeamNG.drive has an elaborate physics system). I say arcadey mainly because this is football as envisioned by a wrestling promoter, and so I'm on the side of assuming the XFL has, like, a writing staff.
This is the best answer, and the only worthy candidate imo.
Yes.Wait, is this the same thing that Vince McMahon tried to get of the ground 20 years ago?

Thanks for the info. That's crazy.
Why not Neverrealm? What better way to take another crack at Blitz with original Midway leadership, without going through the rights juggle of EA or whoever?
I absolutely agree. Under smarter leadership, a WWE-sponsored sports program could be legitimately excellent. Alter the rules to set up huge hits, miracle catches, and unbelievable physical achievements in every match. Focus on the off-field drama as well as the on-field, and build up characters & narrative under the guise of athletic competition.It's a shame. They could sell this as a(nother) soap opera for dudes -- think Breaking Bad meets Friday Night Lights.
That said, I do think you're right and that they intend to play this stuff straight, but it's harder to make good and funny posts about that. The good news, I suppose, is that since they are, we won't have to talk about it for too long.
And it's going to die in one season like 20 years ago. Nobody is going to make a game based off this bullshit.And don't say "no one," because the XFL is happening whether you like it or not.
