2k Sports is getting smashed by EA Sports. I dont care what fanboys say.

EA Sports has the best game for "EVERY SPORT" Madden, Live, FiFA, The STREET SERIES

and dont even forget about Fight Night

2k's boxing game don king looks like crap, FNR3 came out at launch with 360 and still has better graphics than it, Its really dumb 2k needs to stop making sport games and cont. GTA series and other games they make.

Anyone Agree???

Live is not better than 2k.

Judging by your FNR3 reference, you are obviously a graphics whore. That is the only way Live is better than 2k. Madden wins by default. NBA Street hasn't been good since Vol 2. NFL Street has never been good. Fifa Street is average at best.

If you ask me sega had the betters sports games with its 2k series, but the overlords at ea took care of that. And somehow ea managed to mess up madden too, which used to be an awsome series. Ah ea, you know how to ruin a good thing.

NBA 2k8 is waaaay better then NBA Live. I was a big NBA Live fan back when i was young, but these days 2k makes the better basketball game these days by far.

2K also sells very well for basketball, while EA runs the football and everything else basically. But they are WAY behind in the basketball aspect imo.

NBA 2k is good, but Live has caught up again after it's last two mistakes
Oh and BTW Fight Night wasn't a launch game, I don't go either way about them, i look for the best game, and you do sound "ignorant" saying things like that, people certainly aren't gonna respect you more.

Let's hope EA buys Take Two so we won't be stuck with the awful 2K baseball game and we can get back the legendary MVP baseball games.

Are you effing kidding me? EA is a pos company, that rehashes the same game every year with very minor updates, other then the rosters. NBA 2k8 is way better then NBA live 08 in every aspect expect graphics which doesn't matter at all, because everyone knows gameplay is what matters. EA was so scared of 2k they bought the exclusive license with the NFL cos they knew the NFL 2k series was way better.

EA would be king again if they'd reclaim the MLB license. I don't care if it was the same game as MVP 2005 with updated rosters, just bring it back!!

i would have to say that i enjoy 2k sports quite a bit more than EA

Madden has no competition so however bad a madden game is it will still be bought because nothing else has an NFL roster. When ESPN 2k football games were made i prefered them over Madden by FAR and they were cheap when released.

As for basketball nothing has to be said. 2k has Live beat as has been stated many times already.

considering the only sports games i play are the occasional basketball or football, i would have to say 2k. in the past there football was far superior to madden. and their basketball games now but live to Sh**. i dont play many sports games at all. as i never played 2ks last football game w/e it was. but i play the basketball every now and then ill give them a rent if im that boired ya know. but in my opinion i go with 2k. not evening bringing into account that EA is nothing but money hungry and trying to Monoplize the gaming industry so were forced to play crap games. but its w/e.

NBA Live has been pretty awful for a while now. They always claim that the next will be better and its always just as bad as the last. NBA 2K seems to get better and improve every year. Even if it didnt it wouldnt matter because NBA 2k7 is still far better then NBA Live 08 and im guessing it will still be better then 09. The only sport thats even really a competition between these two in my opinon is hockey and i do have to give the edge to EA there.

NBA Live was awesome, Live 2005 was the last Live game i liked. Ever sicne it moved to the next gen systems it wasn't good. Live 06 sucked and i switched to the NBA 2K series.

I do not play sports games very often but when I do, it's mostly FIFA. However, I have played others such as Basketball, Hockey, and Boxing which are all very good games.

I loved fight night but that Don King game looks amazing to me. Graphics look just as good with more of an emphasis on footwork. Even the min training games look like a lot more fun.

The only sports game EA makes anymore that I am remotely interested in in NHL 08 (BEST.SPORTS.GAME.EVER!). I used to like the MVP series also but all other sports games are boring. I used to like Madden but I outgrew that stale franchise.

Sorry to break the news to you, but the only reason people play Madden over the NFL2K series, is because, well. EA bought the rights to the NFL and ESPN. EA knew they were getting stomped by the NFL2K series, so they bought up the licenses and forced 2K out of the NFL race. Believe me, when I worked at GameCrazy, NFL2K5 was out selling Madden 2 to 1. People also don't realize that competition is good for the consumer. Now EA can sit back and make all the crap sports games they want!

Oh and NBA2K>>NBA Live, NFL2K>>Madden

Hockey would have improved your argument, and you didn't even list it as a sport, god.

NHL 08 is wayyyyy better than NHL2k8. That's a fact. But that doesn't mean I think the other 2k sports games are bad.

OMG

EA = EA SPORTS

TAKE-TWO = 2K SPORTS

jeez learn your companys.........

Rockstar is a subsidiary of Take two interactive. Jeez, learn YOUR companies. Why else do you think EA was pushing so hard to acquire Take Two before GTA IV was released and why Take Two was waiting for the release and success of GTA IV before considering giving in to EA?

2K games are way better imo NBA series has been better than live since 2k came out on dreamcast NFL 2k5 was better than madden 05 . EA streets games SUCK. I enjoyed All pro better than Madden this year. All pro side lines were live If someone runs out of bounds the players will grab them. 2k puts much more detail in there games than EA. EA is lazy and think they can make sales jus because they're EA. You probably never played any 2k sports games EA fanboy. Tell EA stop trying to by all there competition out and make better games. I cant believe u said Live is better than NBA 2k its not even close

Prize fighter hasnt even came out yet so how do you know its better. It has a story line to it for one which is better than fight night. the career mode was so boring. Seems to me you buy games based on graphics.

And these are the same people that you all ask for game recommendations. Reading a thread like this makes me lose faith in the gaming community. The fact that EA can send out the same old garbage every year with the Madden franchise, and people still just eat it up every year, without regard for the fact that they had to eliminate 2K as competition because they were starting to put them to shame. The ONLY sport I will allow people to give EA the nod in is NHL Hockey, and I still don't agree that NHL 08 is better than NHL 2K8. NHL 08 is however a pretty good game, and its way more accessable and shallow, so I can see how people would prefer it. I still believe that the NHL 2K series craps all over EA's hockey. This is the first year in almost a decade that EA hockey has even shown up as competition. NHL 08 wouldn't be the game it is without NHL 2K. Having said that, I still think NHL 2K8 is the better game. Its deeper, more realistic (given the right sliders), and has more attention to the actual nuances of the sport, which is true of ever 2K sports game vs. its EA counterpart.

And this is exactly the point I was trying to make. Competition is good for the consumer. It forces these devs/pubs to produce better quality products. If EA loses its competition, then we're all screwed. It's already getting that way now! It'll be that same game squeezed out every year with very minor tweaks. Hell they might even remove things, like EA has been known to do. So you're paying for a new game that has less features then the previous year. Sounds fantastic! :roll:

College Hoops has been just so much better every year than March Madness, and it was the last sport 2K had rights to until now. In 2009 I won't be playing a college basketball game as EA's March Madness isn't good for anything other than acheivement points.

I like 2k Sports, the lowest point is the baseball, but even that is far because that Is the only xbox baseball game we have right now. I wish that EA would stop trying to buy their way into a gameing now. The reason for that is when 2k was makeing NFl games that forced Madden to make a good game as well. Unlike now that 2k can make a crappy baseball game and EA can make a NFL game and make cash because it is the only that that people can buy.

EA sports games are garbage. FNR3 was great, but EA managed to get rid of that game since it was, ya know, good. Luckily, 2K is coming out with Prizefighter while EA got rid of FN to make cartoony boxing games.

I don't know man, remember Ready 2 Rumble on the Dreamcast? Now that was an awesome cartoony boxing game! Let's hope EA can even achieve a fraction of the fun that R2R provided.

Well EA is definitely a stronger company and have deeper pockets - hence their games look better. But the actually gameplay of these games sucks! FN3 is the only standout game they have. Now now, I know FIFA, NHL, and SKATE are all great game but I'm only talking bout the big three. BASKETBALL, BASEBALL, AND FOOTBALL. To me all that other stuff doesn't count. EA is gr8 at making awesome games that nobody plays - if you play these games I'm not calling you a nobody they are just not big sports in America.

Now let's look at the big three. Basketball - Live sucks! Anytime you can perform a lay-up from half court your game will always suck! They need to fix this. NBA2k8 is awesome. It's like playing a real game and you can't dunk from half court. lol They have a good majority of the players' sign. styles, something Live tried to copy but failed.

Football - Madden is ok! But it's just the same game over and over again. They take features out then install them back the very next year and stay it's a new feature. lol And what's up with the picks. I'm so tired of dropping ints. I don't know what to do. What do you have to do to get a pick in Madden? I drop like 10+ a game. Other than that Madden is a great game it just doesn't have competition so nothing really ever changes. Look at this year. The new feature their pushing is online leagues. OHHHHH!!! Wouldn't worry about that being 2k's game like 3-4 years ago.

Baseball- MBL2k8 is a good game. Not great but good. I do love what they've done with the right analog stick to control pitching. That's awesome.

Now even though this game isn't in the big three it is EA's saving grace. FN3! OMG! Now this is what a sport title is all about and it came out close to launch. Nothing beats throwing a jab, jab, st8 right combo with the right analog. It makes the game so competitive because if you mess your motion up your punch will be messed up. I love it. I still play it today. Gr8 game.

So with that said right now I with 2k but I think EA is gonna rebound strong I just don't know when it will be. Or maybe it will never come because it is obvious EA's goal right now is to make money by any means neccessary. Their focus use to be making quality sports titles but that has changed now. And what's up with the Streets series. Those are jokes!

Omg are you kidding me??!?! NBA 2K8 is AMAZING. Live 08 sucks. 2k8 is the best sports game I have ever played and I don't see how anyone but an EA fanboy could say Live is better.
