What? How does that make sense?

Ian,,,,have you guys thought about working with ( Visual Concepts ) at all for the near future.

Why bring this up?

I heard VC has split up with their other sports games.

If they knew what they were doing they'd still be making football games. The fact that they chose to make crappy baseball games and hockey games that few people buy and are subpar compared to others in their genre and their latest basketball game is glitchy and is still subpar IMO--instead of doing something along the lines of Backbreaker, where they could at least compete?

If they had more money than EA they would still be making football games. And going by the majority of basketball fans, the 2k series beats Live easily. I would have to agree to. Live is nothing like real life. The animations look silly and on loose balls the players walk half the time when you hold down the sprint button. And I love their baseball games. 2k9 wasn't the greatest game, but 2k10 showed much improvement and has been a solid game this year. And I don't play hockey games often, but I liked them both, but I though 2k's was slightly more realistic while EA's had the better graphics, but it still had silly looking animations all EA games are plagued by.

I'm just going to disagree w/ you on a few points as far those games, and Live was sooo good this year. 2K could still be making football games, just not NFL, (aka Backbreaker, or Arena League) They would probably sell as many copies as their baseball, even hockey...but i dont know so there it is, i'll leave it at that.

And I am going to disagree with you. NBA Live was okay this year, but was broken. The game just didn't feel right and the players didn't move naturally. Almost every pass was swatted away unless you changed sliders, and when it was swatted away, players didn't sprint towards it ever. I had many time where my players would knock a pass out of the air. Walk towards it and pick it up just to get chased down by Shaw on the fast break because they were moving so slow. That should never happen. My player should have sprinted for the ball, picked it up, sprinted down towards the basket and scored off a dunk or layup.

But w're on the Madden board, so I won't go much further on Live. And 2k can't make an Arena Football game since EA owns the rights to that as well. And I'd say they won't be making another unlicensed game because the fact is, football fans don't want an unlicensed game no matter how good it is. 2k8 is a prime example. And since you keep bringing up poor sales, do you know how much their Baseball or hockey games sell annually without looking it up?

Nope, dont need too...how bad was MLB 2k9? Took it back....Which was NHL 2k9/2k10 or NHL 09/10?... I think that they could've competed better with some kind of football game (coming from a college student--not majoring in Business)...i mean look @ Madden, M10 is the only one i've kept for 360, its been pretty bad. but like i said i dunno, just my opinion.

Anyway looking forward to Madden, looks to be in the right direction.

Why would somebody even bring Visual Concepts in this thread, are y'all that dumb?
