rob_shadows Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I don't have an Xbox simply because of Microsofts own strategy with video games, all Microsoft titles are released on PC same day as Xbox and I have a $3000+ gaming PC so I have no need to for an Xbox. Previous generations I always had both Xbox and PlayStation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their brand would move more games now than they did in 2007, and there is no March Madness to syphon off sales. They'd be the lone act. I wouldn't be surprised if they did go for it, after seeing how it looks like football is going to sell, but I'm also aware this is as much we wanting to will it into existence as it is based in reality lol. Agreed, 2K was so different back then when it was competing with NBA live and the two college basketball games were competing. Now if one of them made it and not the other it would help the sales I'm sure. Also, 2K has had a small March Madness element to their games recently were you pick a school and play in the tournament before getting drafted in the MyPlayer mode, so they could just build on that foundation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're in a totally different spot than they were then. It looks like the recent NBA games have been doing 5-7 times the sales they were in the time they made 2k8 just glancing at VGchartz, not to mention how much they're making from their micotransactions. That number has to be pretty substantial and wasn't a revenue stream they had back then. I doubt College Hoops would see that same 5-7 multiplier, outside of maybe that first year, just due to international interest, and the lack thereof for US collegiate sports. That said, I don't think it's crazy to think they'd move 3-4x the copies they were selling in 2007 though. I just don't think they could make near as much in the online space that they do on NBA. Unless they figured out some way to tie the MyCareer-esque spheres together. They aren't going to want to sink the same amount of resources into the College MyCareer as they have the NBA, and that's their breadwinner that keeps the money rolling year round.

Tank4Drake Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Just remember guys… be cautious of the hype. All of these YouTubers have sponsorships with EA. EA is known to pull sponsorships after a really critical video. Bengal, EricRayweather, almost all of these guys, do have a professional relationship with EA. Heck, they were even flown to hotels to test out the game. You’re not gonna wanna bash the game when EA is spending money on you and sponsoring you. I’m just saying, all this hype is manufactured. With that said, I’m buying it regardless. First college game in 10 years. Just wouldn’t be shocked if it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank4Drake Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Apparently you CANNOT edit player attributes of non created players, nor player names. Yikes. This is like the first thing I do... You also won't be able to use Create a Player of players who opted out such as Arch Manning, the name will be blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengal has been critical of Madden, especially after the game’s release talking about what frustrates him during gameplay. Eric hasn’t been as critical, most of his criticisms are parroting things he’s heard from other people and acknowledging if he experienced the same things. Both of them were very vocal during the #FixFranchise fiasco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp0k2 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 If you're worried about people being paid by EA, watch SOFTDRINKTV's videos on College Football 25 and Madden (or anything else he covers). He's not affiliated with EA or anyone else and doesn't pull any punches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were getting paid bare minimum 5-10k a month from a sponsor, where you are allowed to criticize kindly, but EA is known to pull the plug if you over criticize, that you are really getting an objective point of view?
