With No EA Sports Sim Basketball Title Until 2012, Are You Confident in NBA 2K12?

[greenegt]

Video basketball is in great hands with 2K. I'm looking forward to EA's return though, because competition is a good thing.

[VUUAASSHHH!]

EA Sports has put the last nail in the coffin. I don`t believe EA is going waste more time and resources on making a decent NBA sim game. On the other hand, they could bring back arcade games like NBA Streets, Homecourts... and keep releasing NBA JAMs every year... just to say "ok, we are still in the game" lol
About 2KSports, I don`t believe they are going to be lazy and release low quality sim games from this year on just because EASports failed. They know they have a legacy on NBA games and to keep that up, they need to improve every single year.

Dude. They are HIRING folks for the EA team. Not laying off. Why would you think they would be laying people off? They have a game to make. If they had a staff surplus, I think they would have tried to get a game out this year. If there is an NBA lockout, this would be the year they COULD skip, right?

I'm confident 2K12 will be just fine. The competition is on-hold not gone.

Besides.....I think 2K prides themselves in basketball.

There is a difference between no competition due to the fact that you bought exclusivity and no competition because you create the better game, and the fact there is a loyal following that would be excited if EA just put out a article describing all the things that will never be in their NBA game.

Umm duh, 2K Basketball...Winning! Im confindent in NBA2K12 because from what ive seen year to year the devs have always made strides in there basketball game. Many fans have felt ever since NBA2K7 that 2K has had the best basketball game over NBA Live and the devs knew this, but they did not get lazy the past few years. NBA2K11 was great leap from NBA2K10. NBA2K12 will be great. Now if only 2K could get that damn NFL license again......

Totally agree right here. 2k11 is the ****. But Elite not coming until next year? Wow they must be really in-trouble.

im ok with all those above mentioned shotting jumpshots. I love the midrange game. its players like with ratings 50 and below(midrange) being able to hit them with consisitency.
