    If 2K Keeps Getting Better, Can It Get To The Popularity Level Of Madden

    Looking at Madden and looking at 2k, these 2 titles have dominated videogaming for its sport for at least the last 7 years, does anybody think 2k can get to the point of being a popular top seller like Madden. Every year 2k sells more and more, and they have actually never put out a bad game, Madden has put out a few and its still one of the most anticipated games every year. I think 2k will continue to get better and better as time goes past, and I think it will eventually be one of if not the highest selling sports game on the map, anybody agree.


    FYI, Football is a bigger sport than basketball in America, so you gotta throw that into context, but with how good 2k is every year, its only a matter of time before its the most talked about game every year.

    No, it's not possible in my mind because football is just a more popular sport. They can become the Madden of nba gaming if they aren't already.

      Yep...football is just too popular of a sport, PLUS Madden doesn't even have any competition anymore...although I wish 2K would'a fought back into the realm.

          It won't but, 2KBasketball is definatley more popular now than it has been in the past. 5years ago alot of people wouldn't even mention 2Kbasketball, people would just play Live because it was made by EA sports. NBA2K is definately heading in the right direction and is getting more popular but no sports game will be as popular as Madden. If the trends continues 2KBasketball will be talked about in regards to a Basketball game that everyone loves to play and is well known. Especially the circle of people I have known and played videogames with the past 10 years, don't even mention NBALive anymore are hardly ever play it. 8years ago this was unheard of, but now 2KBasketball is becoming the norm and standard amongst them and others as the best representation of the NBA.

            Well globally Basketball is more popular than American Football.

            So I think it could possibly sell more worldwide, as for here in the states. Nah, don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Even if the NBA 2k games are always solid year to year, Madden is the only NFL game in town so it's going to sell no matter what basically.

              To me there are die hard football fans and die hard basketball friends, both sports are popular. But in the video game department NBA 2K10 is showing out more then Madden 10. Madden 10 is good but I think a basketball game could top this years Sports Game of the year. 2K been popular, look at the sells of 2K9. Don't sleep on 2K and NBA 2K10

                I think globally an NBA game (which really needs to be looked at with all three of them) could beat Madden. In the states no way.

                  This.

                  Football is just far more popular in the States.

                      stop asking stupid damn questions. Football >>> basketball in terms of popularity add also into the fact that although 2k basketball might be the most popular basketball game as of now, the quality of the game is not even anywhere near the popularity that it gets.

                          If EA didn't buy the NFL license, 2K could be there by now.

                            And Madden's quality was up to par with it's popularity?

                              no because football is AMERICA'S sport, worldwide fifa sells waaaay more copies than madden because it more popular everywhere else.
                              madden and 2k only sell in a few countries anyway
