Re: Please explain

Man this was unreal. I can't believe you guy's lasted this long. Looks like everything is wrapped up now so after all the dust settles it's still just a game. Please enjoy it for what it is fellas and don't let it cause bitterness between good forum members.

Games are designed to allow people to have enjoyment. Sometimes it can be frustrating because we know if only the developer could have done this or that better we would have had a very good game. But with all do respect guy's thats why the sports genre has several titles you can choose from and bitching about what doesn't work in any particular game isn't going to change the outcome. You just have to decide if the game is worth spending your money on the next year or do you take your money elsewhere because by now we should know these games aren't going to be perfect.

Ahem...actually there's only one pro basketball game available for PC so really I have no choice in the matter.

Actually, the way the industry is going...none of us may have any choice soon.

That's a real pity considering the potential of the Xbox2 / PS3.

I disagree, we may have limited options in licensed gaming, but we will have other options, some of which may have the ability to be more entertaining having shed the limitations provided by licensing

I think that in a way gamers will have the ability to send a very loud message to license-holders if non-licensed, quality gaming can be supported by the gaming public in equal terms to the NBA, NHL, NFL & MLB alternatives

I know that I'm going to support quality games, with or without the prerequisite branding

Have fun............

I hope your right K.

Legally though, how does a non-liicensed game hold up? You know me, if the games good...I'll be first in line regardless.

However, an un-licensed NBA game for example...that would mean no real arena's / no courts etc etc? If the players Union signed the rights away, would that also mean no player likeness?

Todays world seems to be litigation crazy...I can't image a company paying millions for an exclusive and not going to court if their rival releases a generic game. I hope I'm wrong.

I know you've argued that non-licensed games would mean more money on production / developement. If so, that would be very cool.

Will be very interesting to see what happens.

Re: Please explain

Very interesting to see what happens, indeed.

It's so astonishing to see where we were just a few years back. If you go and search some more threads you can easily find lots of players who used to love this series.

It's just amazing when you step back and take it all in.
