2K 2 Year Plan?

[_-King-_]

2K11 isn't even out yet, but it's hard not to already think about what 2K12 could possibly do to improve upon 2K11. While you can never count out Visual Concepts to amaze you, let's face it, within a year it will be hard to drastically improve the game again.

So what if part of the team went ahead and started working on 2K13? A smaller team would work on 2K12, updating the rosters, uniforms, stadiums, etc., fixing small glitches, and adding a couple small features to freshen things up. This game could be released as usual, but at a budget price, $20-$30.

2K13 would come around in 2 years with big features (Online Association), improved graphics and animation engines, and whatever else 2K has up its sleeve for the full $60.

I'd be content with just alternating between paying for an update and full game every other year. As a gamer you get more than half-assed efforts, and don't pay full price every year.

Just a thought.

Maybe they could do that but the NBA doesnt allow one game to be cheaper then the other so only way they could sell it for $20-30 is if NBA live/elite 12 did as well.

They seriously have a rule on how much the game can cost?

That would be awesome but I'm guessing that it would never happen.

Well what they could do...although I guess it is a tough thing to do because it'd be an entire year later...is give a coupon for 30 bucks (or whatever) with NBA 2k12 off of NBA 2k13, although I am sure EA wouldn't be happy about that. Unless the NBA could actually lock out coupons...

People buy the game every year regardless of price, so why would 2k take a year off?

Yeah that's actually a really good idea, so the yearly adopters are rewarded.

Really NBA doesn't allow that??? Wasn't one of the 2K games (2K5/2K4) I think it was only $19.99 when it released. Has the NBA changed rules because of that? Live back then lowered it's price to like 39.99
