It was the NFL that sold the liscense to EA blame them not EA, the NFL is very picky about who owns there liscense, thats why you only see one brand of uniform, one brand making the helmets and so on.
i like NBA 2k, i prefer the simulation style of gameplay, NBA live felt to arcade like, i dont mind live at all i just adapted to the style of 2k, im hoping NBA elite 12 or whatever its called will do the storied franchise justice
@Dieofnv i personally played the hell out of madden 05 that year and i owned both games, i felt that madden had smoother animations and controld didnt stick as much, madden 06 was pretty abysmal. teh QB cone was retarded and useless.
i know ill get flamed by the internet for saying this NFL 2k5 is overrated.... yes the game was great and deffanetly put the madden franchise on notice, whic of course led to the NFL giving them exclusive rights. NFL 2k5 had presentation... amd thats about it, character animations came off as stiff and clunky. my one wish is that EA would jusrt copy paste the NFL 2k5 presentation and use full use of the the ESPN lisence, if they did that im sure people would finally get off the 2k5 band wagon.... like i said this is just my opinion.
