I don't think they would even try to use the price point now. IMO all they have to do is show a stellar game and promote the ways it will be superior to Tiburon football. The same way they got in the door with NBA 2k. It will take time and money, but they could win. I don't think it would work this gen though, we're too deep in.

IMO NCAA wouldn't be that hard to best in quality, but it's just getting enough people to try the alternate would be the problem.

I don't care how many studios make a college football or NFL game really. My point was more to the general consensus in the gaming industry that 2k or take two is hurting financially. I think starting a new ip for a college game is high risk and low reward for an already teetering (supposedly) company.

Yeah I don't care how many either, as long as VC is one of them, lol.

Supposedly Rockstar is the only reason that company is still surviving.

Bio Shock's alright for 2K games.

Do you think T2 should just re-operate 2K games and call it Sportstar Games, Port NBA 2K over to that, and try and attempt to re-enter the sports market by using better advertisements (ex. actually advertising the realism, which is what they failed to do with NFL 2K5), and try to compete and etc, etc.

Not saying it isn't just saying that supposedly Rockstar and what its worth is the supposed reason the company can survive not trying to knock bioshock or any other Take Two franchises

Not saying you said that. I'm just saying Bio Shock could be one game outside Rockstar games that's helping take Two.
