I totally agree.

I have saying this about a boxing game for the longest.

Also could do something interesting for a football game that sold on creating your own highschool and playing online. Never been done before and I'm sure it'd strike the interest of the younger audience. But it's hard to say. 2k is a pretty insconsistent brand beyond what they've been known for in football and basketball. NHL, boxing, tennis, mlb, mlb bigs, and All pro 2k have all been flops in the sales. They usually develop pretty capable teams designing the games it just seems they fall short between finding what the buyer really wants and running effective promotions/advertisements.

2K failure with the boxing was outside producers fault. If 2K used in house producers I really think the results would have different.
