Also they keep comming out with something new every year cause they are sucking it up in sales . There is no maturing process. You stick with the good business model you have that is keeping you atop or you keep changing it up to catch the competiton like like EA is doing. Or you go and hire the top competitors other guy like EA have done also. You dont hear Sony hiring someone from 2k sports for baseball.

A yo Jr last time i heard EA just cut a few jobs themselves!! I think i might have saw your name on that list also!!!
Yes 2k sports suck, but they atleast can still claim top spot in basketball any day! Why would they lure someone from Ea sports to do basketball if they are currently #1 in sales???? Didn't you just noticed it was the other way around???? Or you are blind to that also???

I agree. In past years they've really tip toed around some of the gripes most have with NBA Live in general, so this article was refreshing. The shocking part was Live actually taking a jab at 2K, that's something completely new and I don't think they'd say that unless they were completely confident they had something good in development. Even 2K didn't take a jab at Live until after E3 last year….this will be interesting. If anything 2K will probably take notice and step their game up as well. Quality competition will only satisfy both bases.

Solid foot planting, Dynamic DNA, NBA Live Rewind, 5 on 5 Online Team Play, Hot Spots. By no means am I even saying that these features have been a hit, but there have been innovative ideas in my opinion that need more time and maturing and Mike Wong hit the nail on the head that you just can't come out with something new every year without maturing a process. That's the direction that Live '10 appears to be in.

Seeing the state of 2K Sports, I don't think they'd have the salary space to lure someone from EA, especially with all the down sizing 2K has been doing with the losses they've experienced with their other franchises.

This isn't about fanboyism "nbafan" this is about the way forward, for both franchises. 2008 was a good year, I'm hoping for even better results next year.

Thanks for the NBA Live 10 interview, I think I read that a few times in the previous years… Excuses about the previous title, promises and hype about the coming one…

But now maybe something really shall change as a 2k9 brain has been hired, but that SEAN guy really looks a brainless one…

2k versus the Cpu is not fun, u HAVE to adjust the sliders just to make it a realistic game, or the CPU will light u up for 60 wit Andre Miller, in live theres no need to adjust sliders. You can play a game and know that thhe players are gonna play with the tendencies they have in real life, actually shoot mid range jumpers and not just execute off 1 lil mistake that u make everytime like 2k does.

Playing 2k against people is more fn than vs the CPU, the CPU just gets bull
