Really? I have thought Nba Live 09 is EA’s arcade serie…

I can not understand this Peter Moore guy, he is a cyberface for Facebreaker, he shows himself on real NBA games promoting the live serie, explaining the benefits of EA games with a crazy flame in his eyes. Producing games is not for men over 50. He is ridiculous.

I never thought Street was as fun as people made it out to be.

And from what I’ve heard, the last Ballers was kind of weak. The first one was kind of fun, but awfully cheap on the AI.

Maybe this will clear the way for the return of the classic, NBA Jam? That was always the most fun arcade b-ball anyway. I loved nailed people with Dennis Rodman back in the day. We need an arcade basketball game where playing defense is possible (and fun).

NBA Live 09 plays very much like a sim this year IMO.

As for NBA Street. The game is too short, too much button mashing, and not really fun. I might get a few laughs in the first couple games but there wasn’t enough customization, lack of true depth. Good riddance.

Yeah, I mentioned Street as a game that didn’t have the right use of strategy (in my Blitz write-up) because it became frustrating. The whole doing moves and then scoring to build up the bar would irritate me because it was more about doing those things than winning. Chasing around players while on defense who were doing moves for 30 seconds was lame.

Did these really sell very well? i can’t imagine they did. I’m usually bored with “street” or “arcade” sports games before I finish the demo.

Blitz: League (original Xbox) was ok because they added so much to it, namely the story mode… but even that game I could only play 1 or 2 before I had to put in a real game because it was driving me crazy.

The Street games were always very good sellers. Ballers didn’t do nearly as well though but on the old consoles it was profitable.

Have you ever tried The BIGS? That game had longevity and it wasn’t even fully fleshed out with it’s career mode. They could do some great things with that game. I just don’t understand, since it sold pretty well, why we haven’t seen a sequel yet.

I have a funny feeling about this. I don’t know why, but I have a feeling the NBA is going exclusive and EA is positioning themselves.

I am not that sad to see this series go. I know it was an arcade game but it was a big over the top.

I would rather EA use the resources to fix the current simulation games….

Street was a sick game, but rather have EA work on the live series

da day EA & da NBA go EXCLUSIVE is da day NBA gamin DIES a slo terribly painful agonizing DEATH

It sounds to me like they’re working on something else. Just won’t be called NBA Street.

I like the NBA Street series more than the Ballers series. The problem with the NBA Street series I had was the constant goaltending. Defense became just controlling one player under the basket and swatting any jumpers away. Rebounding was non-existent as the ball either was blocked or a dunk. If they can revamp the series, and make it play like a basketball game, it’ll be great. People have said all the goaltending is ok, because it’s street ball. If you watch a game of street ball, nobody jumps up and goaltends like that.

NBA Driveway Hoops? Have to shoot over power lines and dribble on grass? Yep, that’s how I remember it growing up…Oh, and throw in a rim that is bent a quarter of the way due to rust and kids dunking off of ladders….
