You have got to be kidding me. NBA 2K is great and has been since day one. The decline in NBA Live's sales tell that story. NFL 2K ( Or ESPN 2K ) was starting to leave Madden in the dust too before EA smartened up and shelled out money for that license. 2K is better and has been since they started. Can't wait till 2012 or 2013 when that license is up.
