ESPN should void the contract with EA as soon as possible (of course talking about the basketball series). I'm sure they will do this sooner or later...

Pretty sure ESPN does not care as long they keep paying them. This is ESPN. Quality doesn't mean anything to them. The bottomline does.

Why would they do that? ESPN is affiliated with the two highest selling sports games, Madden and Fifa. That would be dumb on ESPN's part.

It's like the controller has no sensitivity and all of my movements are clunky. I tried to buy another controller to fix the problem, but it didn't do anything. I'm not sure what the issue is because I never had problems in any of the other games. I almost think something is up with my Xbox, but I've bought so many of them that I don't want to shell out for another one. NBA 2K is the only game I have that gives me problems. Live looked like it sucked, but I was thinking about breaking down and getting it if I had to. I guess I'm just out of luck with NBA games for a while.

You never played another game when the controls weren't perfect.
I would love to know which games you play and if you ever played online.

They could offer the whole thing to 2K. More sold copies, more money...

The real problem in all of this is that for all the gripes that people have with NBA 2k, Live keeps trying to make a new game every year instead of building a proper foundation, and adding to it.

This doesnt surprise me one bit, its the same scenario from when I did QA on Live 07/08. The devs just dont get it man. It stems from the suits on down. For all the mess the devs were talking about how they were going to go for 2ks weaknesses, they completely overlooked their own, in a cocky manner, that blew up in their faces.

All that yapping.. 100 hours on faces rhetoric, pat on the back hallway meetings etc... they(artists side)all need to retake human anatomy courses, becuase Lives main failure will always stem from their animaitons and human movement.

I know because Im an animator. Lives downfall will always start with basic human movement. Until they fix that, their game will never succeed.

The programmers need to not allow animations to break at any keyframe, becuase its kills any semblence of "realistic human movement" All that spastic stuff happening.

I am going to compile all my post and research all my post into this 1 post becuase someone, anyone needs to show these guys why they continue to fail.

23 or admin, will it be okay for me to go ahead with this. Hopefully a EA dev will read and take what Im going to post to heart.
