Top 2012 NBA Draft Picks Have Virtual Game Too

The NBA remains a very hot commodity in the video game industry. The NBA Finals Championships had some 16.9 million people tuning in to see LeBron James and the Miami Heat defeat the Oklahoma Thunder in five games. And now the 2012 NBA Draft is one of the deepest in years.

The NBA Draft has seen increased viewership over the last three years, with last year’s draft netting an average of 3.2 million viewers. Over the last five years, the NBA Draft has averaged close to 2.9 million viewers.

This year’s top pick, Anthony Davis, is looking forward to going virtual in this fall’s NBA games. The future of the New Orleans Hornets talks games in the video below.

Can't even look at Davis with that ridiculous uni-brow (which he trademarked a few things related to it the other day). Just glad there is no chance he goes to the Knicks, he will be good, just can't stand the damn uni-brow - it's absurd looking.

SKUD4317d ago

I agree. Looks really silly. Earring don't help either. Not sure why but he reminds me of dennis rodman. Doing weird things like that.

Statix4317d ago

That unibrow will be a strategic advantage, allowing him to distract defenders long enough for him to cross them over.

2pacalypsenow4317d ago

Cross over?? lol he has little offence

moparful994317d ago

@2pacalypsenow Are you kidding me? He averaged 14.2 Points per game at Kentucky.. He was a point guard before he grew 7 inches in one year and switched to a more defensive role.. There's a reason he's the number one overall draft pick this year...

EA Delists Latest FIFA Games From Prominent Digital Stores

Following the release of EA Sports FC 24, the publisher seems to have removed FIFA 14 up to 22 from major digital storefronts.

MrNinosan207d ago

And as a Journalist, you should know why.
FIFA ain't allowing the games on the storefronts without EA paying for them. Pretty obvious.

Rols207d ago

Looks like the FIFA licensing deal has expired. No mystery about it.

badboyz09207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

EA FC please Flop🤞

Loot boxes --- "surprise mechanics"
NFTs ----------- "virtual creations"

just_looken325d ago

Well its sports gamers so they will buy the nft's very fast.

BrainSyphoned325d ago

EA: We need a new way to be voted the worst company
Nike: Have you tried child slave labor? No?... well how about a Jordan NFT. We will even throw in Chinese LeBron NFTs for free!

potatoseal325d ago

Can they even read the room? The world wide gaming room filled with gamers. No one wants this. They know they will probably get away with putting NFTs in their sport games.

XiNatsuDragnel325d ago

EA and Activision are competing for worst company fr.

mariopasta325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

How could they not know this is the wrong ass move. If EA survive this which they will, they are seriously untouchable. Too many casuals play their games and dont know what happening or even give a dam

JackBNimble325d ago

How is Nike still surviving?

People talk about justice this justice that but are so self absorbed that they will continue to support these companies so they can have their neat little things.

At the end of the day , everything the plebs say is all a lie.

Good idea but I expect the NCAA and college boards to swipe away all that money for themselves.

badboyz09355d ago

This means 2 things
1.Ultimate Team is Confirmed
2.They have some competition from another Studio

anast355d ago
