I'm beginning to think that all the developers who worked on EA's NBA Live series were simply moved over to work quality control for NCAA and Madden.

I think EA sports devs may have given up and are just as excited as we are for to play 2k12.

Cold truth! 2K all the way!

Awesome write up! EA should take notes. I liked the rise and fall aspect of the blog; NBA 2K series rising to the top, and watching Madden series fall quickly; and let's not forget how the NBA LIVE was destroyed by 2K.

Nice read.

EA has really screwed up the "Live" series. It's sad since NBA Live had everything to succeed. Big community, license, made by the biggest company in the video games industry ... How the hell did that happen so quickly ?

2k did a great job but ... i want College hoops !!!!!

That is the reason they failed the game was just a way to create a profit they stopped caring about anything else.

Just for the record, the article is not really about Live vs. 2K in any real way, I just wanted to use the comparison in the intro as a backdrop to remind folks about where we stood at the start of the generation.

However, I still remember how excited I was when I watched this trailer way back when:

I thought this was part 2 of the preview.
