Joe Montana, the legendary NFL quarterback, is once again lending his name to a football video game. Called Joe Montana Football 16, the game is in development in Unreal Engine 4, announced Montana on Twitter today.
The tweet contains a screenshot bearing the Unreal Engine 4 logo. Along with the image, Montana said, "It just got Unreal," and mentioned the Unreal Engine Twitter account along with the hashtag #joemontanafootball16.
Montana, 58, has been teasing Joe Montana Football 16 since July 2014, when he tweeted artwork of himself in a generic football jersey with the hashtags #joemontanafootball16 and #youvewaitedlongenough. He followed that up in October with a video of himself recording motion capture, along with his in-game model mapped to the motion capture, tagged with #morethanarosterupdate and #montana16. The former hashtag refers to a common derisive refrain among gamers: the idea of annualized sports games as nothing more than "roster updates."
Today's screenshot makes Joe Montana Football 16 look like a game that lacks official licensing from the NFL and the NFL Players Association — in other words, it does not appear to contain real NFL teams or current NFL players. There's no word yet on developers, publishers or platforms for Montana 16, but being an unlicensed product would open up the game to being released on consoles, like 2010's Backbreaker.
Electronic Arts maintains licensing agreements with the NFL and NFLPA, exclusive contracts that prevent any other publishers from making console games with real NFL teams or players. An unlicensed game could feature Montana because the NFLPA deal only covers active NFL players; licensing for retired athletes is handled separately. In that manner, Montana appeared with nearly 240 former NFL athletes in 2007's All-Pro Football 2K8, the first (and to date, only) football game from 2K Sports after EA secured its original exclusive contracts in 2004 for the Madden NFL series.
Montana, who played for the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs over a 16-year career from 1979 to 1994, previously starred in a series of football video games published by Sega in the early 1990s. The franchise began with 1990's Joe Montana Football on the Sega Master System, Genesis and MS-DOS, and concluded in 1994 with NFL '95. [Reply]

this version was the only game worth a damn. Montana sports talk football I & II were crap by comparison. there was also a Montana NFL '94 on Sega CD that had Marcus Allen on the roster. [Reply]
I'll buy this blindly knowing that 2K is involved. APF2K8 was probably my favorite, I loved the historical rosters. 2K's gameplay is light years past any Madden game as far as game physics and the tiered played calling is much more realistic. Madden and their 300 play 'random' playbook.
They should have just re-skinned 2k5/2k8 and dropped it on next gen, and it would have blown madden 15 out. [Reply]
Man, i dont talk to 2K about shit anymore, i might have to hit up my old connections. Im still buds with Ronnie2K on his personal facebook account. We shoot the shit occasionally but not about gaming anymore. I might have too say what up Ronnie, see if any of the old dev's are still on aim or msn messanger (i need to reinstall all that shit).
I'm glad its going to be X platform, because i dont really feel like buying a Xbox 1 i just bought a fucking PS4 yesterday that i need to go pick up later today. lol
If this is Xplatform this shit will be so fucking epic. Sony scooped up Street Fighter V as an exclusive with X Platform play with the PC, games not due out til 2016 though. [Reply]

The one good thing I can say about this is if the hype is true, it will absolutely 100% force EA ****ing Sports to actually improve on their shitty game.
While I will be the first to say that Madden on next-gen is a decent game, the gameplay is boring and gets old... It's the same as it ever was but with better grahics.
So, there you have it. We'll see what happens.
