Note that it wasn't an exclusive deal EA made either.

Still doesn't make me not wish they had a college hoop game in development.

Give me the dynasty features of 2k8 and the fastbreak, playbooks and post play of NBA 2K12 and I'll be giddy.
2K did not market very well at all.

EA's game was so poor they lost the customers.

I know a lot of people that have never even heard of College Hoops 2K8. It's hard to sell when you don't advertise it.
