OS Fact or Fiction: Previewing E3 Edition

[RaychelSnr]

While the hype machine into this E3 was certainly going to be a letdown compared to last year's debut of next-gen consoles, it seems as if the potential newsworthiness of the show may be on the lower-end of the spectrum at this point.

Or is it?

We ask our staff if NBA Live has the most to lose, if we should expect any surprises from sports games, and more! Be sure to check out our responses and add your own in the comments!

Fact. All Hail NFL 2K

[TheTruth437]

NFL 2K or nothing!

[asu666]

I would love to see NFL 2K15 come back, assunimg 2K didn't ruin it with always online VC like NBA 2K14. I'm planning on giving NBA Live a good look, because I'm passing on NBA 2K for the first time in years after the horrible design choices in last year's game. I like being able to keep great games for years and play offline, neither of which is possible in the new My GM mode. Also, I'm surprised MVP 2015 is only on the rumor list once and I'm really looking forward to NHL 15 (i.e., PS4 version) too.

2k need to fix the servers before they even think about making a nfl game

I hope to see NFL 2k back in the mix to really challenge Madden, and give consumers an option between the two in the football market. Next I have my eye on NBA Live and agree with the two guys who said that EA needs to really go hard this year for Live 15 or they will be done. I know it's harsh, but they have done too much damage to this franchise that pretty much no one thinks they can make a quality basketball game, which shows in their sales numbers. The only way to change people's perception about NBA Live is to have a quality and sound game all around for Live 15. I also hope to see other surprises with other sport games in this years E3.

Well as much as I would love to hear an announcement of NFL2K15

Probably not realistic to see a NFL2K15 announcement but the bigger disappointment is that the expectation of Madden is minimal. Thats unacceptable EA needs to do more then just a little lighting improvement and textures. I want to see "TRANSFORMATION"....

[BizDevConglomerate]

Consumers need to demands more then we can expect better. Who will make the next football game, paradise of the usuals? So on with the other titles. That will be newsworthy. A new developer, pumping out a new college series of ball, and football. Forget EA, &2k. New systems needs new devs.

[jct32]

For me a new NFL2k would be welcome even with VC.

[Hunkerdown]

Baseball for xbone.

How sad is it that we doubt there will be more than four (five if we count NBA Live) games covering the four major sports. Remember back in the glory days of sports gaming, when there was a choice of games for just about every sport? Not only straight sim-type games, but also arcade versions (Street, The Bigs, Mutant League). While games have gotten much prettier, and in some ways better, part of me will always miss the days of having that kind of selection of games. Here's hoping E3 has at least some surprise for football, hockey or baseball.

Well the lawsuit has been settle on the Ncaa for 40 million for the players likeness. So here is to 2k rising from the dark place EA has put them. As the saying goes what goes around komes back around. So EA has their time and didnt do nothing with it. So Its time for real football to kome back. Lets go 2K get it in.

[Goodydog]

Regarding #1, 2K has more to lose than EA because EA has established such a low benchmark. EA's Live series hasn't accomplished much recently due to being such a disappointment over the last few cycles, and EA's complacency and mediocrity have been reasserted with each version of Live.

2K, on the other hand, has established an extremely high bar, and 2K seems to be attempting to move toward EA's exploitation model (capitalizing on their stellar history), but in doing so, they risk alienating their loyal consumer base.

The questions should be, "will EA's Live team finally get its act together" and "will 2K take another step toward self-destruction."

Re: OS Fact or Fiction: Previewing E3 Edition

I hope for a return of NFL 2K and Hockey from 2k. But the best would be all sports games 2k and Ea, no exclusives, just let the fans decide.
