I never get why people go out of their way to blast 2k hockey. If 2k hockey goes away, EA hockey will never see any more improvements. Sports games with no competition are usually mediocre... at best.

I haven't bought a baseball game in many years, and I stay clear of football now as well.

Of course people shouldn't support 2k hockey just "because", but maybe people could give it a fair shot, as they could significantly improve this year.

Oh yeah, of course. And maybe they put this splash trailer together as a kind of general promo for multiple outlets. 2K no doubt has marketing/budget considerations of that sort.

EA has a history of not improving without competition (see madden the last 4 years). I don't agree about baseball, I love the choices we have now and never thought MVP was that good. But you make a great point.

That might be true. I like what they did with the trailer and they explained how that goal WOULD NOT be the norm. I for one like how they promo their games. I like the fact that they wait closer to the release date to put out videos etc. I hope they keep it that way. EA markets 2 months ahead and very well but most of the time their games are mediocre IMHO.

Back in the good old days we'd wait 2-3 years between sports titles, and only find out a new version had been released when we happened to see it sitting on the shelf in the PC store. So yeah, I know what you mean.

LOL, that is so true. I didn't think of that. Proves we are living in good times now when it comes to video games. Between OS and all of the gaming sites IGN, etc. we get all the info we need and more.

I don't think anyone is debating that competition is good. I disagree about Madden improving though, have you seen Madden 10? Looks pretty improved to me, and thats without competition. Alot of people really liked the last MVP, what that even has to do with 2k's downright craptastic marketing I don't know.
