All these haters of EA and their basketball games, I think you guys should make your own game cause apparently you are way better at it.


YES!

I think a few intelligent programmer dudes should try it. Why not ?

or other established developers should look into becoming #2 instantly, then work towards competing with 2k.


lol at haters because we want a quality game where players move like real human beings, and basic basketball NBA AI.

It seems like just because the game is releasing for $20.00 people assume its terrible and not a full effort from the development teams.
NFL2k5 was $20 and is still considered the best nfl football sim available. It's not about the price. It's about the gameplay.

$20 of my hard earned money for my feedback?? No thanks, I'll give my feedback for free.. Let 2k handle the NBA games from now on. Live is finished.

I'd rather spend the extra $40 on a quality product.

A few programmer dudes cant afford to pay the licensing fee the NBA charges.

Are they sending in resumes to the game developers? People talk a big game like this stuff is simple, but when it's all said and done, folks don't really have a clue as to what it takes to make AAA video games. Someone at his home can sit there and do things his way on his time making Angry Birds. He's not responsible for making sure other people get their jobs done on game for a full console. People talk about modders and whatnot - but they are working on a completed game. They're only doing about 5-10% of the work each of the real programmers/designers/artist have to do. But I give modders MAD respect because they are doing it for love of the game only. Top of the respect ladder to them.

If it were that easy, there would be one. Or EA would have acquired them. Don't act as if everyone in the games industry wants to work on a sports title. They don't. They want to work on the original titles or the mega titles like Gears of War or God of War. Same for artists. They don't want to make a friggin' Gatorade cooler. They want to make a walking turret or a 8-eyed demon.

Absolutely agreed. But none of this is easy and the devs efforts should be respected even if it falls short. That's all I would say.

Agree with your premise, but let's not act like everyone wants to work on turrets and Halo's either. That argument goes both ways.

I didn't say everyone. It's clear that the team at EA and, especially, VC love working on sports. So they are out there. But don't get it twisted - the typical dev is more into video games and not into sports. It's a generalization - true - but it true to a large extent.
