NHL 2K11 Trailer

[Radja]

it could be the nail from a sim standpoint, but the true nail is lack of money. video hockey games at best are not the cash cows other sports are. but they can bring in enough money.

2k changed the way hockey video games were played. they failed to keep their audience and allowed EA to take over. but while EA has catered to the sim audience, the main reason EA took over was the game was fun. be a pro opened a whole world to a lot of people who would never have played this way before.

now the gap is just widening like crazy. the parallels to the 2k / EA basketball are almost identical when it comes to gaps. nba live just continued to make huge mistakes and now they have to start all over. there are a lot of people, like myself, who have completely written off that game. not everyone reads the internet to change their opinion.

if 2k starts over and gets enough momentum and money from the Wii year, they might be able to make a 2k12 game that brings people back. they cannot come out with any major flaws, even patchable flaws or they will not recover without a complete and total failure on EA's part. that is extremely likely to happen. from what i can tell, this is their most successful game when it comes to customer satisfaction.

i really like 2k10. but it took the patch, good sliders, a good price and some time to truly appreciate the good things in it. in spite of that, i would be leery about spending $59.99 on 2k12 without renting first.

I think a better idea would be take a tiny bit of the profits from titles like Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock, Grand Theft and the like and they could keep all their sports titles and actually...gasp! compete with EA.

Then again they could just continue to be completely inept in direction and marketing and that would be pretty much par for the course 2k style.
