Easports really sucks. I've been playing these games for years, but it's become pretty obvious EA hypes their games up and has that name that people just know and trust but if you look at their games they are lesser quality. I'm not saying they are bad. They are good enough to get by, but compare live to nba 2k. Compare Fifa with PES. etc...... All EA does is use their muscle to buy up licenses and they sell more games than anyone. Football would be the same. If 2k still ahd the license who knows what they could do. I honestly may not give EA another cent. I've spent enough on thier games. I bought madden this year and it's really not that good.

Hockey is about the only thing they have to brag about right now. Boxing is good too but then they take out options and then make them downloadable content which is just a bad move.

I just get pissed at their football games. I buy them every year because I need my football, but damn, EA takes forever to add in no-brainer features or features that were in last-gen games.

I think buying sports games every year is a waste of money. It doesnt matter if they are made by EA, 2k, Konami

ncaa 2010 was a 4/10 in my book. pretty sure im decent at the game but losing to tulane when you have a 90+ overall team on all-american is downright not possible.

The Fight Night, Madden, and most notably the NHL franchises are very solid this year and IMO all three have been improving.

Well look at the EA Sports game ratings, your opinion may be yours but the ratings don't lie, simply their games are good and great. 2K in my eyes has the edge in Basketball and that is it. Madden has always been the football king whether you like to hear it or not.

I hate 2K so much for the exclusive licensing they got to make MLB baseball games. If you're going to monopolize a sports genre for third parties at least make a good game, 2K baseball games are terrible. I haven't bought a baseball game since MVP Baseball 2005.

Solution: Get a PS3 and MLB 09: The Show. Best baseball game ever made. I've played it daily since its release in March.

I have a PS3 but I just don't like it. I use it almost exclusively for movies. I mean I guess you have a point if I want to play a good baseball game any time soon but the fact of the matter is that I should be able to play a good baseball game on whatever console I want. I just really miss MVP baseball.

In terms of wanting a sim football game, then no, EA does not provide a game that is great for that.

ugh if you're basing this on ratings then go back and look at what 2k football games scored

NFL 2k1 - 9.9

NFL 2k2 - 9.5

NFL 2k3 - 9.6

NFL 2k4 - 9.3

NFL 2k5 - 9.2

the only reason Madden has the license right now is because it's more marketable. 2k was the king of football when it left and madden has been just going through the motions since they have no competition to make their games better

For Hockey, there's nothing that compares to EA's NHL 09 and 10. But I heard 2k10 is pretty good on the Wii.

For Basket-Ball, 2K is miles ahead.

For football, well they are pretty much alone but back in the days 2K made great games (see post above)

For soccer, FIFA has retaken the lead over PES since 07 or 08.

I don't know about Fight Night or Tiger Woods as I don't play them.

Yeah it went downhill

How good did it do in it's last installment?

So if 2K was able to make a game in 2010 would it even be able to get a 6?

I will never buy another EA game. Haven't since the whole NFL contract buying out. NFL 2K5 is the best NFL game ever made. EA has no competition and therefore no reason to make their games better. It's halarious when they say "It's better than last year's game!" as if that isn't to be expected. Fact is 2K scarred the crap out of them whenever the ratings in 05 were very equal and then 2K did the whole $20 thing. EA released a statement saying that "their competion had once again made it obvious that EA was the leader in NFL games" then they ran to the NFL and bought them off like little girls. Ain't getting my money, never again. Not to mention they did the same thing with NASCAR. I should write a paper about this.

The Ratings until the last installment of 2K5 compared to Madden werent that significant. Madden 05 had a 9.0 and 2K5 had a 9.1. At the end of the day it pends on what license you prefer back them.

EA Sports dominates the soccer and hockey games. The Fifa games are much better than the PES games and don't get me started with NHL.
