NCAA Basketball 09 Fact Sheet Analysis

[PaulZweber]

I fixed the quote to apply to myself. Exclusive licenses are good for nothing but making a big company more money. It is not in the interest of the gamer, it isn't in the interest of the people making the games. I would imagine it hard to feel pride in making a half-assed game. I don't care who is making the game, exclusive licenses are the devil!

This is not an exclusive deal, 2K walked away from the license because they felt the CLC was asking too much money for it this year. If they wanted, 2K could get the license right now and begin making the next version of College Hoops.

We went over this already. Click on the link that I already posted, then read the interview.

On another note, just watched the latest trailer for this game and I came away very unimpressed. The game doesn't look bad per say, but :54 seconds of actual game footage (some just zooming out to show the stadium) doesn't impress me. EAs marketing team failed once again to advertise what matters, gameplay. That trailer wasn't for video gamers, it was for college basketball fans. I know it isn't you jab, but :54 gameplay out of a 2:10 trailer doesn't show the game well.

Well, EA still isn't the reason that 2K left the college basketball genre since this happened eight months after the fact. Exclusive deal or not, 2K9 was not coming out.
