which is better ea or 2k?

I favor EA for most sports except for basketball, 2K has been cleaning house there. They both make solid games (for the most part) but I think EA makes better football, baseball, hockey, and boxing games. They make a great golf game but that can't be compared to 2K since they don't have one. But yeah, they both make good game and I'm sure most people would agree that 2K makes some sports games better and EA makes others better.

Ea for baseball, boxing and hockey

2k- for footbal and basketball

EA for me.

The only thing that EA doesn't kick the crap out of 2K about is basketball and even that margin is shrinking

Football, baseball, hockey, etc are all much better when made by EA

EA. Madden

Totally agree.

2K easily. It's hard to judge now, because EA has bought out so many leagues. I prefer NFL 2K5 over every Madden yet and I still play NHL 2K5. EA's arrogance has resulted in my refusal to buy another game from them, ever.blackngold29

Just so you know, EA only bought the NFL license and College football/basketball license. 2K bought the 3rd party baseball license so they are just as guilty.

EA for about any kind of game.

EA for NHl and 2k for everything else.

I haven't bought anything besides hockey games in a long time, so I don't think I'm qualified to compare the other sports lol. 2K used to be the best simulation by far, but EA has truly taken hockey games to a new level after the lockout.

I'm really bitter about 2K's horrendous baseball game on the 360, it's ridiculous that the PS3 has The Show and we have the MLB 2K series' annual 6.0-rated piece of junk.

Did you ever play MVP 05? That game was amazing! And the latest MLB games from 2K have been pretty sad... I own 2K9 but that's mainly because I need my baseball fix and don't own a PS3 so I can't get the Show.

i have to go with 2k on this ..they make better sports games

NFL 2k5 was not that good. I would get sacked all the time because my linemen wouldn't block. When there is an aspect of gameplay that is that broken, it is not a good game.monkeytoes61

Has anyone noticed how 2K has nosedived recently? I mean, they owned hockey until EA invented the Shot Stick in NHL 07, and they've gotton so bad in baseball it stopped being funny. And I got to play Madden 10 a few days ago, and it looks like Madden is finally starting to approach NFL 2K5(which is sad because it took them five years to do so).

[QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"]Actually Madden took a nosedive this year, NBA 2K9 had a soooo much better franchise mode. 2K in basketball is still the best there is!MoonMarvel

[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"][QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]Yeah, actually I own NBA 2K9, and I honestly disliked the franchise mode. And I have noticed NBA Live is starting to get back on its feet.ChrisSpartan117

Yeah, the whole 2K series was awful

It wasn't a sports game, it was a game designed for people who play games and hate sports.

I think that pretty much explains that when the NFL had to choose between EA and 2K when it came to the NFL they could either pick the game for sports fans or the game for people who don't like sports.

It was more important for the NFL to pick the game that was trying to reproduce what was happening on Sunday.

Good thing too or we'd be stuck with NFL games like All Pro Football 2008

No, not at all

The game was awful and nothing like NFL football

Running was awful, passing was awful, the blocking was especially awful

The worst thing is that it never got better. Iteration after iteration they kept on taking it farther and farther from the sport it said it represented.

Again, the entire argument ends with All Pro Football 2008. With years to make the game and no restrictions whatsoever that should have been the greatest football game ever. It's not, at all, anywhere.

The game is made for game players who don't like sports, that's who it was designed for and that's not the audience who follows the NFL

The NFL chose correctly that day. If 2K put out a better product they would have picked them but the NFL saw that 2K's game wasn't even close to showcasing what the NFL was all about.

[QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"]I own NBA 2K9 as well, It wasn't a great franchise mode but a tad better setup than Madden. Madden 10 setup was clunky and a pain to navigate. I miss a lot of the features they left out.MoonMarvel
