<p>The deal will give 2K the right to feature the names, numbers, images, and likenesses of over 2000 current NFL players. The financial terms of the agreement weren’t disclosed. </p>
<p>The news comes a few months after <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/359338/2K_pens_deal_with_the_NFL_to_develop_multiple_new_football_games.php">2K penned a “multi-year partnership” with the National Football League</a> that will allow it to create a number of new football video games. </p>
<p>That deal, however, will prevent 2K from going head-to-head with EA in the simulation genre, as it specified those new projects must be “non-simulation football game experiences.” </p>
<p>At the time, 2K president David Ismailer said the company will design “approachable and social” games that are “centered on fun.”</p>
