The fact that ea canceled their game. More people where given 2k12 a shot that would normally go with the live series for whatever reason. Had 2k12 been a great installment following 2k11 the 2k series would of converted more users to the base and kept the strong following they had for 2k11.

2k12 was barebones, had issues with online and had disappointing gameplay mechanics which opened up the door which could of been tightened further to the point where it would of just became a juggernaut like the madden following. Instead you have the live base not impressed with the 2k12 product, some of the 2k11 base not impressed with 2k12 and are keeping their options open.

Ea has a great chance for a quicker turnaround and must have been saying to themselves we dodged a bullet. Instead of being on all pro football status they actually have a shot of gaining a lot of users back on board quicker then they anticipated.
My dude 2K already has a mass following. It's a basketball videogame that sold five million copies and has been superior to it's competition for at least the life of this console generation. How in the hell is 2K NOT a juggernaut? You're crazy talking right now.
