haha yeah you're exactly right. i admittedly got caught up
in the moment it being the national championship and all.

I just feel like college basketball grows in popularity year by year, but I overestimate interest cause i only hear from like minded folk.

Come on, I know this isn't a full-time professional site, but a simple EA Playtesting google search will see that. They focus test all sorts of games there, it's one of the many perks of having an international company.

Correct. They tested Live 13 in Vancouver several times last year.

Everything seems to be centered around 2K here.

Granted that's the only competition and a phenomenal product both in terms of sports gaming and basketball but I would like to see EA try and work up a brand new formula rather than "compare" with 2K's offering.

Having said all this, I would love to see a new street game.

Honestly I'm ready for NBA LIVE to return. I like 2k but I like to switch games every now and then.

I agree. I LOVE 2K, but I would love to have another SOLID game. Be it EA, Sony, Konami or the next door neighbour, just let us have another (good) game.

Looking at the survey itself, it talks about other EA games too, so to me this doesn't say anything, but I could definitely be wrong.

The link to the survey is just where you sign up for the "New NBA Concept" testing sessions. There were other things in the email to test for, and other surveys, like Fifa and NHL ultimate team.
