Not to burst your bubble, but 2000 people signing a petition isn't going to change their mind. 2M maybe.

Yep, Traded NHL 16. Because its just the same old thing to me. I have always liked 2k hockey more, absolutely played 2k6 to death ages ago, (PS2 and Xbox360). I loved 2k because, the game looked and felt like hockey and more importantly, it was fun to play. I have felt like EA has the skill stick but sadly, had to adjust the entire game to fit the gimmick. So you don't have a team based game but more of a whoever you control is your skill. (if that makes sense). I love how they captured the organic nature of the sport, and would love to see a modern, non-licensed, fully customized, game of hockey. (preferably on the pc). Create an amazing hockey engine, and let the fans take it on. We are seeing such success with games where you let the user go do whatever so why not just go down that route. Hell even if it was 2d, Id buy it.

If I won the Powerball the first thing I'd do is pay 2K to make a new NHL and MLB game.
Sadly, I don't think that's ever going to happen again.

The industry has shown that it can basically only support 1 sports game per genre.
If it weren't for EA's stubbornness Live would be dead already.
And who knows how long Konami will hold on with PES.

Which is the sad part?

Put it on Steam early access.
It worked great for Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa, they basically build the SIM from nothing.

And now very succesful on pc, aiming for console market in 2016.

I will buy several copies myself

If it can only support one game, who says it has to be EA? EA is mailing in their next gen releases and are ripe for the picking IMO.

I agree.
But I think the majority of those who purchase the EA NHL game don't know much about hockey and simply purchase it based on EA's rep.

In their heyday, the NHL2K line broke even in sales with EA's despite the fact that it was a better product and were selling for $19.99.

The EA brand is a powerful one. Whoever decides to take on Goliath better come with a big freakin sword.
