Obviously we have been saying the same things over and over for the last two years.
I wish 2K would just release 2K5 for the 360, just remove the logos and names and see if they make a profit from it. I doubt this would cost them much to produce. And if they were really nice, the would upgrade the graphics for the next gen
... but then it might not make financial sense.
They could use every city in the game because no one can buy a license for that. Make all the names generic and we are set. Just try 2K, I would guess they would make a profit with simple modifications. If all goes well from a profit standpoint, then go all out the following year.
