NAIA College Hoops 2K? Why not?

[Golfsprince]

Hi guys.

Been a while since I posted on OS.

I've been thinking, since the NCAA is being jerks, why can't EA or 2K create an NAIA basketball game?

It would probably be pretty cheap to get that license and make it.

I know it's not what a lot of you want but jeez man, at least it's college basketball!

I have a ton of respect for the NAIA and the talent that's there. I almost committed to an NAIA school which was an awesome campus but decided to go to broadcasting school instead because of my career choice.

I still root for that NAIA school when they play. I think NAIA is not only a great brand of college basketball but a great brand of college sports period.

It would be very refreshing, even it's not your alma ater.

I know it's a loooong shot, but it doesn't hurt to throw the idea out there. Would it generate a ton of sales? Not sure, but if it's a game that plays anything like NBA 2K then that's where I think it shines.

It's like with what I hear with golf gamers all the time, they don't care if there are licensed golf courses in the game or not.

So just because the school aren't Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, Illinois, etc doesn't meant it can't be a great college hoops game.

Just my thought.

Thanks guys and an early Merry Christmas to you and yours!

That's cool that you played. I really do enjoy the NAIA game whether it's buckets, football, baseball or even golf, I think the NAIA is under rated and there's some great schools in this association.

Yup, it would be tough. Too bad we don't run 2k or EA. Or if I had a ton of money I'd pay them to do it lol. Money talks after all.

Like you said money talks and the game wouldn't sell.

That's simply because the NAIA doesn't get the attention the NCAA does. If NAIA games were on TV then people would most definitely buy it.

Except that's not the case at all. NCAA Basketball is on every channel and it didn't sell for ****.

Yeah well then how come everyone wants the game back soooo bad? People were making mods for it for God's sake so it must have some kind of appeal.

It has a big appeal among a certain small subset of fans like you and I, but it does not have broad appeal.
