EA and competition in sports games don't belong in the same sentence. They've had healthy competition in many different sports genres and the ones they could, they monopolised the licenses to effectively kill the competition. Poor Konami in PES were feeding off of scraps with their CL license.. EA went and bought that too. With them, there is no such thing as healthy competition.
If you look at Metacritic NBA2K games have constantly outdone NBA Live. And a lot forget how much of a jump the original NBA2K was as it was only on the Sega Dreamcast which many gamers ignored due to pure ignorance and lack of knowledge on just how great that console was.
I wouldn't suggest them to stop. I hope they continue to do better because 2k has been making some questionable and alarming decisions.
I also wish EA didn't have the Monopoly on the NFL. What I ultimately wish is a company that doesn't participate in shady practices took them both on in an impressive way.
This is obviously from a 2k fanboy who can’t see the forest because of the trees.2k has become pay to win and are getting worse with every generation. Ea still blows but 2k is basically nickel and dimming their fans.
No, don't stop. We need competition beetween sports franchises in gaming. Push on and don't stop or the 'winner' will become lazy
"Since the release of the first NBA 2K game, EA have arguably been left behind in 2Ks dust in the basketball video game category."
I don't know about that, Nba live was the basketball game to get until Nba live 07 came out.
The last good ones were Live 04 n 05 for ps2 era n Live 06 last gen
Dear EA just stop making games full stop.
EA stop making any games by that note.
