    EA Canada Working on NBA Concept, Looking for Testers



    If you happen to live in the Vancouver area, you could get the first look at EA's new NBA project -- all you have to do is complete a short survey. The survey asks simple questions: but what is interesting is that it asks users a lot about NBA 2K as well which could indicate this is a simulation basketball project.



    Could EA be looking for a focus group of sorts to test out their simulation basketball answer to NBA 2K? Even more importantly, why is the game being shown off in Vancouver after it was apparently moved to Orlando last year? What in the world is going on here? Is this another game like an NBA Jam? Most likely EA won't reveal much this time around until much closer to release to avoid any possible momentum loss this time around. [NLSC]

    What do you guys think EA is working on?

    My guess is an NBA Street game with a lot taken from Blacktop Mode.

                  It HAS to be a college b-ball game. 2K has the NBA pretty much nailed, even they are having trouble, it seems, to keep it fresh, there's almost nothing left they can do outside of bringing back Crew mode and more teams

                  NCAA Basketball 2010 wasn't terrible, but it was glitchy as hell and you can't really enjoy the game when you're waiting for a freeze at any given moment. The CBS and ESPN mixed presenation was pretty awesome, as well as building up your campus for boost and make you more attractive to recruits.

                  I love the Online Dynasty in the NCAA Football series and would love to have that with a basketball game. I can't stand how 2k has the Online Association set up

                  A college basketball game would sell it's *** off...if anything that's enough to get EA motivated to make it happen

                    If we're making EA jokes....

                    This is unusual because we usually pay EA $60 every time a new game comes out to be their "testers"

                    EA will have footage of people testing this concept and will release it as paid DLC in a future title.

                        Feel free to point to any year that either EAs or 2Ks college basketball titles sold "its *** off"

                        The college videogame market is so small it makes no economic sense to even attempt to make another title.

                            It has to be a Street game. The past games EA has produced basketball wise has lacked a lot. The best game they had going was NBA Live 2005. Oh how I miss that game. For once you felt like you were in control. Then came 06 with the stupid version of their signature skills. The best thing EA did was bring in FIBA mode. Maybe EA should make a European basketball global game. They would give 2K some "some competition" and they could afford the licenses of all the European games such like FIFA. Just saying folks your international sports fan.

                              EA, you have to do NCAA BASKETBALL 14 and for Xbox must be R E G I O N F R E E !

                              We Europeans are fed up with never being able to play any NCAA game! The NCAA games are only in NTSC format and does not works in European xbox consolle (in PAL format).

                              MADE 14 NCAA BASKETBALL REGION FREE!!
