You have a true statement here my friend!
Reading others post for the last few pages, just shows me why we are in the situation we are in now as consumers.
A lot of haters, and 2k fanboys hear this announcement and just laugh and rejoice. And just get ready to pull out their, I hate EA tablets and get to reading pages and posting the words in this thread.
EA sux, forever 2k, blah blah blah!
First off as a gamer and a sports gamer, this is a terrible day. You can swing on 2k's ..... all day! But they left on their own, just as majority of their other titles did.
But instead of lashing out on Take Two, you blamed EA, and started making up false accusations about a NCAA License deal, etc.
I mean grow up already and re-direct your ignorant blame on 2ksports / Take Two. I think it's highly sad and pathetic, that you can seriously celebrate that we are losing this series.
Because in the end, fact is 2k dropped out first, and now EA is doing the same, mainly because they still tried to make an effort, and you can say it was for profit, all you want! But a lot of the ideas put into NCAA Basketball 10 were for us, to have a current game and try to give us the presentation and gameplay mechanics they thought we'd enjoy.
Small amount of people had a freezing issue, and a few issues with things that could have been patched, but the game sold so poorly, they just gave up on the title, plus EA as a corporation overall were doing some shifting in employees and having major layoffs. In return we got burned on any chance of updates.
The game is still enjoyable and playable, it wasn't nearly as bad as complete closing doors on future projects. Especially when some of the things are the best we had in years.
But if you think your celebrating, constant bashing and ignorance towards this company is hurting them, then your wrong. It's hurting us as gamers. Because now, the 1 company who at least decided to stay in the race, are now dropping off as well.
Majority of you were knocking this game even before a release, just because EA sports published it. Not everyone at EA is a dick or an ***. But you all judged them all equally, even the ones who were trying to give us a fun and enjoyable experience.
They lost sales for many reasons, not because of the lack of interest in NCAA Basketball or College Basketball....however you want to label it.
They lost sales for lack of marketing, lack of consumer interest, due to biased opinions of EA as a whole. And they lost sales due to lack of content in stores. This game was scarce and bare at almost every retail location. Same as NCAA Basketball 09.
Then you have the thousands of biased fanboys, just like in OS. That were seeking nothing but flaws, when there is so much done right. Then you have Lamestop employees telling customers that this game is bad, because EA made it. I mean I got that from 9 different locations in Dallas alone. With the whole I heard it from a friend story. And I'm sure that's a nationwide thing at all locations.
But again, to celebrate at this news is insulting and just down right childish. No matter what your problem is with this series or what your issue is with EA sports. At least they were trying to give us a game.
And now it looks like College Basketball games are dead in the video game market.
Again we all lose in this news! And for anyone to be happy is just wow!!!!
We lose! We lose! Get it through your skull! WE LOSE!!! GAMERS LOSE!!!

This post is completely ridiculous, and I can't believe people are actually buying and reading into this type of useless rhetoric. It's funny how you ignore the overall overwhelming theme of this thread in favor of calling out "2k fanboys" (by the way, since there are in your words 2k fanboys in this thread, exactly what does that make you with a post like this?); majority of the people in this thread have expressed their disappointment that their won't be an NCAA basketball game being released in 2010, and even if the comments haven't all been positive, or haven't shared the same sentiment, that still doesn't equate to anyone in here being a 2K fanboy.
The fact that there won't be an NCAA basketball game released in 10, is not a good thing for THIS year, but the ramifications of this move is endless. The best case scenario being that the NCAA, and its committees coming to the realization that their asking price for it's license and its likeness is far too high seeing the amount of sales accumulated over the past few years. That way, both EA and 2K can get back into the frey, and start making college basketball games. I will say that this situation in regards to garnering the license doesn't look good for any of the parties involved; 2K sports loses another critically acclaimed series and is reduced to one critically acclaim series (NBA), EA loses a title that's been a staple for over a decade, and NCAA basketball becomes the most notable sport to not have any sort of new representation on a year to year basis. And for that reason, I believe this situation will be resolved one way or another. Its unrealistic to say that there won't ever be another college basketball game ever made because to be frank, there NEEDS to be one (more than one actually).
As for people "bashing" this game, I haven't seen it in this thread, and I'd venture to say that from the threads that I've read in this forum, the criticism has been constructive especially given the circumstances surrounding this game and the series entirely. People that have played this game and have enjoyed doing so have been left to ponder whether they'll be a patch, or rather the series is dead up until now. I haven't had any freezing issues with this game, but put yourself in someone elses shoes that is dealing with this issue (then again if you were having this issue, I'd doubt if you'd let it be known). You now know that there most likely won't be a patch for this game, so now you as a consumer are forced to do exactly what the devs did with this game, and that's abandoned it, regardless if you're enjoying the game.
You're using words like "2k fanboys" and "lamestop", and "bashing" (when the word doesn't applying to this situation), and yet you're calling people "childish"? Hyperbole at its finest.
