View Full Version : Joe Montana Football (VR) - TBA
Friday afternoon, Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana put out the following tweet, seemingly beginning hype for 'Joe Montana Football 16.'

Could this be the return of 2K football or another company entering the football video game market? Or is this just another campaign for Skechers featuring Montana?
The former San Francisco and Kansas City play-caller will be taking part in a special 'Legends of Candlestick (http://legendsofcandlestick.com/)' event Saturday.
We will update this thread with further clarification as it becomes available.

Very interesting. I will be following this closely to see what the story is all about. It would be great to see the arrival of another game. However, if anything I expect this to be a facebook/ipad type game...???

I'll be watching, but absolutely NO expectations whatsoever. And definitely NOT a day one buy regardless. I'd want a plethora of reviews before I'd even consider it.

No expectations either. He did have the first game with live play by play.

The original game had cheap AI. I hated that game. The second one, Sports Talk Football, was much better.
I wouldn't use this to place any bets, but 2K employee (marketing, I think) Josh Goldberg (https://twitter.com/JoshGo2K) RT'd Montana's tweet this morning. Looking through his timeline, he only seems to tweet game-related items for those made by 2K.
Not saying I think this is the return of 2K football, but did want to point that out.

Didn't one of the 2k guys say on twitter recently that 2K wasn't making a football game because EA still holds the exclusive license? Any game would therefore be generic.

I think so.
Right now I am guessing this is for an app or perhaps another MLBAM title (think RBI Baseball). If it is a full-fledged console title, I expect it would utilize legends ala APF 2K8.
If this was a serious game for a console they would have shown it at E3 IMO.

I see where you are coming from, but IMO the timing of this tease implies it could be something halfway legit. It's way too early to show off a 2015 sports title (what the '16 implies) and if anything, it gets people thinking of a potential competitor during the Madden pre-release season. (Though, until I see/find something concrete, I'm going with this being something along the lines of a mobile game which as you stated, would not be shown at E3.)
FWIW, I cannot find a trademark for 'Joe Montana Football,' but in February of this year he did trademark his name and signature. Either he landed a big deal then (was already with Skechers) or decided to be more aggressive in marketing efforts (two ex-wives, currently with #3). It'll be interesting to see if he posts any future teases and if other former players do the same.

Well the Candlestick classic event was today right? So if there are no more tweets after this, then it may just have been publicity: aka you've waited to see me pull on the old #16 and play again and so I'm back for today. I just don't see any legit companies stepping up to make a full console game. I would love it if 2k were behind a move like this but after 10 years of hoping 2k would go all in with football... I just don't ever see it happening.

The more I think about it, the less likely a mobile game makes sense to me. For a generic mobile game, who would care about name recognition? You don't see Wayne Gretzky NHL ipad game or Kareem Abdul Jabar bball for android devices. Generally these games are made to be low cost so why worry about landing a big name?

I'm sure everyone hear has heard of the mystery that is Joe Montana Football 16. There's a lot of debate over whether it's a console game or a mobile game. I've noticed the absence of any thread about the game here on TGT, so I took it upon myself to start one here in the Madden section of the forum. I want your guys' thoughts. Does the fact that we might get a new football sim excite you? Especially because NCAA Football was this websites bread and butter, and now we might get an opportunity to make our own NCAA if this game is in fact on consoles, un-licensed, and fully customizable? Please gives thoughts guys. A lot of people think 2K is in on this, neither Damon Grow (the games creator or something) nor Joe Montana has denied 2K's involvement but they are quick to tell us that they aren't working with 2K. Again, thoughts, please, thank you.
Grow did tweet this Feb. 10:

Intentional or otherwise, that's definitely a tease on several fronts. (2K involvement, console game, etc.)

I wish Damon and Joe would at least send out a tweet saying "This is mobile only" or "Hooray this is next gen." I honestly don't see why they wouldn't at least put that info out. It's not like they'd be revealing their master plan for the game.

I'd love to see some competition for Madden on next gen consoles. It will be awful tough though without the license. I'm guessing it's a mobile game but would welcome a console game. I loved 2K4, was disappointed with 2K5 and thought 2K8 was awful on the PS3 (horrible frame rates and without the real players and true customization it didn't feel great to me).

To be fair the college football game was supposed to be very different and very bad. 2K4 and 2K5 were a much better representation. 2K5 had HORRID cpu QB AI. In 2K4 they were a lot smarter but never threw deep. To fix the lack of deep passing they ruined the cpu QB AI and they were awful no matter what you did with the sliders. A game killer. Screen passes were also terrible. They did have lead passing and the DL play was light years ahead of Madden. Madden's current next gen engine may finally be catching up to that. The presentation and commentary was also FAR better than Madden and the weekly wrap-up show has yet to be rivaled.

This was an interesting post on OS. Nobody knows how accurate (if at all). But it claims Joe Montana Football will be an NFL console game exclusive to XBox and PC due to first party exclusive rules (like MLB the Show). Says it will be out in July. I would love to have real competition for Madden. NOT happy if this is true and it's an XBox exclusive though. I do not want to buy another console for one game (I guess Tomb Raider too).
http://www.operationsports.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2047100876&postcount=94
I'm sorry, but I can't sit by and watch this any longer.
I love and respect a number of people working on this game and having met the man and hung around him a number of times I have a profound respect for Mr. Montana. He's just a great person. But I disagree with how they're dealing with the public and how they plan to continue to do so. You just have no idea how long they're planning to drag even basic info out.
I'm not on the team and I'm not under an NDA so I'm not under any obligation to keep anything I know a secret. There are some things going on that gamers need to know about now, and the way they've planned to do these things just isn't reasonable. What I'm about to tell you are things they literally only plan to tell you about 3-4 weeks before release and I'm sorry, you don't deserve to be strung along like that.
I know you won't believe me, but I can assure you this is accurate, and in time you will see these truths unfold. I feel you need to know so you can prepare as a gamer (save up money, make arrangements and plans, etc).
- First and foremost, this game will be for XBOX One and PC only. This is why they haven't mentioned platforms. They're taking early advantage of the Windows 10 cross-plat tech and the game will be out as part of 10's 3-month launch cycle in the middle of this year.
So now that you know, you can make plans to purchase an XBOX One or Windows 10 if you don't have one of them already.
- The game is called Joe Montana NFL Football 16. This is an NFL game. First-party stipulations that the NFL has always left open & the NFL's exclusive relationship with Microsoft allows for Microsoft to have an NFL game. Microsoft Studios is the publisher. Microsoft is deadly serious about gaining ground and winning the console war (doubtful to happen at this point though) and throwing tons of money at incubation and trying to buy new IP that they can turn into big series' titles is top priority for them right now. They believe this game can be many times bigger than MLB The Show due to the larger NFL fanbase, and because so many XBOX One owners identify as serious NFL fans.
- The game was demoed and it went well. Actually, "well" is an understatement. People went crazy. NDA's were and still are in place for them. That's why you haven't heard anyone saying anything, but a lot of people are having a very hard time because what they seen was unbelievable and it's been impossible to go back to Madden or even take Madden seriously after that. It's like, how you felt when you had an NES and you saw Sega Genesis for the first time. The step up in quality is THAT big.
- They put those things up on artforgames in hopes that you would find it, especially the NFL stuff. It took a little longer than initially thought, but you found them eventually, and when they saw you found it they took it all down just as they did when they realized people found their job posting last year. They already had their team in place, the posting was a bone. All of this has been staged well.
- They're not asking for ideas because it's an NFL game and they don't feel there is a lot of room for the type of creativity you'd need in an unlicensed game. When they first started out before iMFL they were considering a non-NFL licensed game and were going to approach dealing with the community differently with polls, a message board, etc. but things changed once NFL was confirmed.
- 2K is involved. Should be obvious from some tweets/re-tweets and comments both Joe Montana and Damon Grow have made. Some tech and manpower was purchased from 2K and is deeply incorporated into this game.
- The franchise mode will be able to be managed on mobile devices and it's really deep.
- The iMFL app was never meant to be released. Its entire production was a prototyping run for its franchise mode and management system with the intent of using it in Joe Montana NFL Football 16. Even the TechCrunch interview was part of the staging. It was brilliant. Everybody bought the staging. So, don't wait for that app, it's never coming.
- There are a few important modes. One is a story mode and it's pretty cool. Think NBA 2K My Player. That's what you're getting.
-The graphics, animations and AI are all obscenely good and modern. It looks like a game that was built for this new generation, not just a port over from last generation with a ton of sloppy tweaks. The animations are easily the most crisp of any sports game ever made. Comparing the animations to Madden, it's going make Madden look like a PS1 game by comparison. This is going to be embarrassing for EA Tiburon, like The Show Vs MLB 2K and NBA 2K vs NBA Live embarrassing.
- Expect Joe Montana NFL Football 16 out in Mid-late July.
I apologize to the team making this game and to Mr. Montana, but I feel that with just 4 months until release and a reveal schedule that really just strings everybody along unnecessarily, it was only right to tell people the truth so they can be prepared with enough time to act. Again, I'm deeply sorry but I know I'm doing the right thing.

Definitely food for thought. There does seem to be a 2K connection though with the tweets showing 2K football. It would be great if it was fully licensed. I could even live without a great franchise mode. Just getting a change of pace is a great thing.
I really miss the days of having options. I don't even have an NCAA vs. NFL option on next gen. With these next gen sports titles improving slowly, the annual purchase of the same thing gets stale.

That's the best way to view it and I'm doing the same thing. No reason to get hopes up until we get confirmation. The game would have to be showcased at E3 if they want to drum up sales. A first effort would probably be very buggy and unpolished. The second year should be a lot better.

IF true, that doesn't sound bad at all, minus the MS exclusivity. Though if true this anonymous do-gooder just put a hole in the side of their marketing plan and put that dev team in a spot where cutting features will be held against them, whereas otherwise no one would have known. If legit, he just made every dev team think twice about bringing in people early to look at a game and provide feedback. Why get community feedback when someone is just going to spill the beans on forums for attention?
That being said, I just think it sounds too big, too much for year one of this still unannounced game. Hope not, though.

Yeah + doesnt EA and MS have some sort of BFF contract in place? I know EA basically NEVER says the words "Sony" or "PS4" in any of their press conferences/trailers/etc...
MS making a title in direct competition to EA's #2 title likely wouldn't make the brass at EA happy.

Another good point. If we can poke holes in his post, then there are even more that we're not seeing.
I *think* I've finally found out the company Grow is with now after quite a bit of Google searching. I need to look a little closer, but based on the name - it's a mobile company.
It wouldn't shock me if it had some tie in to Microsoft and is an app, but I don't see it being what this 'rumored' info claims. (The original Montana/Grow app (iMFL) was a tie-in for Fantasy Football. I can see MS having it as an exclusive app as they are doing with Overdog, for example.)
Going at it from that way, I wonder if this anonymous poster had/heard some accurate info and filled in the blanks (incorrectly).

Well, unless that's just fictional teams for picture releases like this, definitely looking like it doesn't have a license for official NFL teams and logos. Deal breaker for me if that ends up true.

Do NOT care about the license as long as it is customize-able with a legit franchise mode with a draft etc....
FWIW, Damon Grow tweeted out a few weeks ago that franchise mode is the "soul" of the game.

Dudeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! if Franchise mode is deep again with a better drafting , scouting and game play system then madden then go for it!
I think the NFL license is very important but not a deal breaker. Customization, a franchise mode and above all else gameplay will be huge. I don't trust a first effort to really challenge Madden but another option is a great thing.
Madden has not improved the CPU ai in a long time. They are dumb as rocks and the CPU qb ai is at roughly the same level as their ps2 games. So there are some areas that could be better. EA has some legacy code that is just brutal and ignored while they focus on MUT.

Well, I do. I can't stand playing with the Bumfuck Buggerers against the New Jersey Goatfuckers. I need real teams. Players I'm not necessarily concerned with, as proven by my NCAA dynasty currently into 2023, but I need real teams, real uniforms, real stadiums, and at least in regards to the NFL, real coaches and preferably real players if possible since players stick around longer than just four years in the pro football video games.
Any time I'd start up a team builder dynasty, it would never last just because there was no attachment to the team, no history to match, to repeat, to build upon, no team story.
I haven't played Madden for the last two years. Honestly, I can legitimately say that I couldn't care less about Madden. I'm over Madden. Any pro football game from here on out is going to have to meet my expectations and give me real teams for me to even waste the money renting it, much less buying it.
I have NCAA, I have NBA 2K (and maybe Live if they'd ever add sliders), I have NHL, I have FIFA, I have MLB The Show. I have the slew of entertaining games coming out year after year on both Xbox and now PS4. It is no longer just NCAA and Madden and that's it for me.
These guys may be looking to rival and/or knock off Madden from their pedestal, but they're going to have to earn my money by giving me what I want in a football game. Madden has lost my money, likely forever. These guys can earn it, but they will have to do exactly that, earn it.

Totally agree with Moody on this one. To be fair he is a pretty harsh Madden critic but his point is still very just. Donny Moore hould not be commenting. That's a pretty classless thing to do. Yeah Madden's graphics look better than that screenshot but the problems with Madden have never been graphic based. Madden has always looked great and they have been working on these visuals for 26+ years.

Unfortunately, I don't see this title surviving without the nfl license. I read Moore's comments when he posted it on twitter. I got a chuckle considering the source.

I have no problem playing a totally generic football game as long as it's totally customizable. A deep create-a-team, create a stadium, customizable roster limits, have create-a-logo tools like Forza. If the game allows me to make the game my way, I'm all over it.
I'm getting pretty tired of the cryptic crap. Just say what platform this is for. To me this seems like a non-licensed indie game that won't have any effect on Madden right now.

So the point here is that it's Microsoft exclusive? Microsoft only does cpu/console games correct? So I guess the mobile platform is out. That just seems weird though considering that Madden and Microsoft signed that huge deal a few years back...???...

Let's pretend the rumors from that OS post are halfway true: I think EA's licensing deal with the NFL (or any brand, for that matter) generally run up until a month or so before their next game comes out. Should this game also have an NFL license, I doubt they could announce it or say anything until June or July.
I am with you, though. I wish they could/would just clarify consoles now and then elaborate on licensing later (if they can't right away). This is either the best or worst marketing ever; definitely the most cryptic.

One thing is for sure: without the NFL license, this game cannot live up to the hype. I really hope there is some truth to those OS rumours because I would like this game to be a reality but an announcement that does not include NFL licenses will end in colossal failure for this game.

I agree. The license is so important here. Even if the game is awesome, great gameplay, customization, & sweet feature set, etc. no license means it sells a fraction of what it would with the NFL attached.
Re: the Microsoft tweet - some EA guys were also at Microsoft this week, so I think there was an event for some of MS' partners. I having a difficult time finding out details on the event as I don't think it was a marketed/publicized event.

I'm glad it LOOKS awesome but if the gameplay is garbage isn't superior to Madden, it won't matter.
Going back to the OS rumor post - Windows 10 now has a release date of "late July (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/windows-10-release-date-revealed-for-july-amd-exec/1100-6426759/)."
Going back and reading that original post #37 and I wonder if a lot of it is really true. Thus could be a fun summer.
The gameplay will have to be far superior to anything Madden offers. Without any exclusive licenses it'll be an extremely tough sell unless it has near perfect visuals, gameplay, options, commentary and franchise mode capabilities.
But to be honest, being a big fan of baseball, hockey and boxing, if someone were to make the perfect game for any of those sports, without official licenses, I would still buy it. But it would have to be near perfect.
OS has lost their mind and have banned all discussion on the game until a release date and platform is revealed. The modding over there is incredibly heavy handed.

I'm getting worried for some people. On social media and other forums I'm seeing people who will become physically ill should this actually turn into a released video game and *gasp* be even somewhat enjoyable.
I don't get why there are some who are basically afraid there may be another football game on the market. It is possible that both Madden & Montana could be enjoyable and fun. Is that illegal? I've gone from being indifferent on the title to rooting for it based on how some people are acting.

I don't read most opinions so I'm still indifferent. :)
I hope Montana is a great game and pushes Madden to improve some things but I think it's simply impossible to have your first game be that good. I remember when 2K came out and that was a nice first effort but I wasn't a big fan. It wasn't until 2k3 that it really started to get better with the pinnacle of 2k4. Competition is great but this game is doubtful to have the NFL license and that is a huge negative for sales.

I had the same thought. That is the drawback to having YouTube 'commenters' being the first to share news/info. Every little thing elicits a lot of hype. He has since clarified on his Twitter (https://twitter.com/ShutdownSafety/status/592149884393787392) that he said there would be 'news,' not 'info.' 'Info' is apparently the hype word to look for.

I'm beginning to think that's the problem....there is no one in charge of marketing & PR and that development is doing it with extremely limited funds (and focus). AFAIK, there's not even a Twitter or Facebook page for the game and those are free to make.

Yeah, I don't get how they appear to lack a marketing/PR team but have a relationship with a YouTube commentator. It's put that video creator in a spot of being a de facto developer/marketer for the game since the project appears to lack one.

Project delayed or cancelled?
My guess:
First sentence - They didn't build the game from scratch. They bought the rights/IP (code) to an in-progress or existing title, perhaps All-Pro Football or BackBreaker.
Second Sentence - They are still looking for a publisher. That would explain the in-house marketing efforts.

That would lend more credibility to that original post about 2k being involved. They might have sold them their assets and this team is trying to use them. 2k employees deny any involvement which is also true. But those short clips look like last Gen code at best. I remember all pro football looking like crap on my ps3.the framers was awful. People loved that game but it was a slightly improved 2k5 from PS2 imported to 360/ps3 without nfl licenses. Disappointing.

From pastapadre (https://www.facebook.com/pastapadrecom/posts/10153486851099073):

Grow tweeted that (IIRC) some aspect of the site crashed as they were traveling to E3, so they had to wait for it to get fixed before announcing it. The website tweet happened at 2 AM PT.
If I understood his interview post, he will be interviewed or a previous interview will go live at 1:30 PM CT today.

So is this the same interview being talked about in both cases? They really need to get on the same page before saying something is being released or coming "today". I'm getting tired of this never ending shell game, saying something is coming out that day, then it ends up not being until the next day, and then it finally does come out, it ends up being a total waste of time and just another goddamn tease bullshit.
I think so, SP.
Also, it sounds like their servers for the website had an issue, so if you signed up for updates after 6 AM or so CT, it didn't take your address.

They just need to not come out and claim info or an interview is coming in a specific day until they are 100% sure it will be.
That will be a huge fix to their shell game issues. Right now, it seems like the people they have pimping their game on social media are saying one thing, and the actual guys are doing another.
Until then, so far this is the most hyped game that still hasn't even shown anything to be hyped about.
I just want to hear if it's real and what console. Not hard guys! Why so secretive about a game that you should want the public to know about?

In fairness though - the game looks pretty damn good for a mobile game
Moreover, they should have at least tried to get Sony/MS to allow it on console as a download only title. Hell this game just screams free on PS+/XBGold

Well I think its well known here that I have historically preferred 2K's games over EAs when they go head to head. (2K College Hoops over NCAA and NFL 2K over Madden)
EA made a smart business move by buying up the exclusive rights but it has REALLY HURT the series as EA has gotten "lazy" in my opinion as they have no competition and essentially have guaranteed income for life as long as they pay the NFL for exclusive rights no matter how bad/stale the product gets.
That being said NOONE is going to compete in the sports gaming space without license rights. The game just will not sell with generic rosters/teams no matter how much better the gameplay is.

I will say, APF had a lot of great things going for it that still aren't in Madden today. Obviously the season/franchise was very limited and the player selection was limited, but when NCAA08 was awful on PS3, the league I was running went to APF for that year and we loved it. Each season we would hold a fantasy draft of the available players and then just ran an online league.
That said, once NCAA09 released with Online Dynasties, that ship quickly sailed.

Not necessarily a homer just not an anti-EA guy. I know to the internet if you aren't one of those then you are a homer haha. I will say that my purchases for the past 5 years especially are dedicated to a select few of games. Can't afford just buying games outside of the definite purchases since my wife stays at home. So Madden, Call of Duty and another random game are my yearly game buys.
Yes their Basketball games are amazing. I actually had all the 2K Football games when I had a Dreamcast. Tried to even play ESPN 2K as well as it was one of the prizes for a Madden tournament I won.
We have to admit though...how many jumped on the wagon around the net when this game was rumored and announced? You know the 2K5, 2KAFL or whatever that game was called crowd couldn't wait. Hell even that Vine loop of a pass being thrown had people like "OMG this blows Madden's away" likely.
I of all people know Madden continues to suck in some areas, especially Gameplay which is my biggest focal point. But that doesn't have me saying..."ahh Tecmo Bowl is still better in gameplay" :D

Very interesting. I will be following this closely to see what the story is all about. It would be great to see the arrival of another game. However, if anything I expect this to be a facebook/ipad type game...???
Still surprised with the level of anger from other websites. I am quoting myself... post two of the thread going back to July 2014... I called it then. How were people so easily shocked??? Did people really believe the license was not in play?

Between HipHopGamer saying this was 2K coming back to consoles and that anonymous post at OS, people got caught up in hype and optimism, even putting that above logic at times.
I agree completely with your first statement - the level of hate, anger, and vitriol at various sites and by some on social media (directly to Damon Grow!) has been sickening IMO.

I'm not sure how they can even ask anything on the game right now. I think the only legit question is "what can you tell us in specifics about the game, features, etc." We don't even know if the user runs any plays, what kind of playcalling there is, 'league' structure (if there is one), etc.

It would appear it'll have the players license, but you're right - generic teams.

I've made a huge mistake.
I'm thinking (hoping?) this was just put out to capture on the VR phase, while it still exists.
This game doesn't appear to include the NFLPA license which it was stated it would have and I thought Grow or someone on the team tweeted NFL 2K5 was an influence. This game looks like nothing much more than a tech demo.

Montana 17 is also the first VR game to be licensed by the NFL Players Association, which allows gamers to play as NFL superstars like Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Odell Beckham Jr., and of course, Montana himself.
“We are happy to team up with Superstar Games and Joe Montana to license this game so that a new generation of gamers can connect with their favorite players in a unique and authentic way,” NFLPA VP of Licensing and Business Development Steve Scebelo said in a statement.
Montana called himself “quality control.”
:D
“I know my limits,” Montana said.
:sf:
Superstar Games has raised $2.3 million from investors like New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, former Electronic Arts CFO Stan McKee, and several ex-Zynga executives. The company, which is among 50 pre-approved developers on Google’s Daydream platform, has eight employees and is based in San Francisco.
Yeah, pretty sure Damon Grow is still getting the last laugh, all the way to the bank.
