NCAA Basketball 10 Patch, Most Likely Won't Happen (Pasta Padre)

[KG]

CH 2K8
Xbox 360- .18 million
PS3 - .09 million
PS2 - .16 million
Total - .43 million

NCAA MM '08
Xbox 360 - .21 million
PS3 - .04 million
PS2 - .12 million
Total - .37 million

Both games sold poorly

Just a random comparison - NBA Live '08 on the PSP - .29 million

Edit: That's total sales, not just 1st week.

Well now he's saying it doesn't work and the shooting % drops way too low. says they still shoot 99% of the time when the ball goes down low....

EA did a lot to get people back on board with their products...it's kind of stunning the way they've ruined all that goodwill post the 2010 game releases. The fellas who came here seemed legit...so I guess it's senior management directing them to move on and not support the products. No one should be angry at the producers as I doubt they are happy about all this. Same with LIVE, where members of that production team were removed from the product post release. This is the reality of big business...those fellas likely had little say in anything. Extremely poor though. I was going to get this eventually if there was a patch that fixed a few things. Definitely won't be getting it now.............

that sums it up. Good post

So is this the death of College Basketball games?

I really hope not but looking at those sales posted from the 08/2K8 games (which I'm sure continued with NCAA 09 and 10) and that article today about EA cutting down their amount of games, it looks like that's the case as College Basketball games don't sell good enough for some reason.

I'm gonna bet EA will release NCAA Basketball 11. They'll probably just put a new cover on NCAA Basketball 10 and update the rosters. Isn't that what happened with NCAA Football 10? I felt like I was playing NCAA Football 09 with updated rosters. I'm really sad to see the outcry of freezing issues. The other glaring problem with this game is the stuttering replays. How on Earth did the developers feel that this was acceptable?

I have to admit I'm surprised by those numbers. College basketball is very popular (especially in places like Syracuse, where there's no NBA team), surely you'd think more people would've been interested in buying one of those games.

Guess college games, outside of football (although that is slipping too) are just a tough sell to gamers.

Food for thought:

Could 2K use the old NBA strategy of selling College Hoops 2K11 with a price point of $19.99. That seemed to really boost the NBA 2K series in terms of sell through and exposure. Of course, this was on the last gen. so maybe we can say $29.99. Wouldn't that be an acceptable price point for the masses of college hoops fans?

I'm sure many fans of college basketball have Xbox 360s. Just food for thought. What do you guys think?

Why mention about a game that is not coming out?
