EA Doesn’t Expect Their NBA Offering to Compete with 2K For “A Few Years”
Recently promoted to COO, former EA Sports president Peter Moore talked to IndustryGamers about the company's NBA series. After attempting an overhaul and re-brand going from NBA Live to NBA Elite the game was canceled at the very last minute after harsh consumer response to the demo and glitch videos having gone viral. The series was then transferred to the Tiburon studio where it is taking a year off before returning in fall 2012. "It’ll take a while to get back, yeah. It’ll take us a...

Copies of NBA 2K12 Begin to Circulate
Last year NBA 2K11 made a huge splash through social media channels that was largely driven by celebrities - combined with the mainstream allure of Michael Jordan's involvement.

What Legend and Historic Team in NBA 2K12 Are You Looking Forward to Most?
I thought it would be interesting to gauge the excitement level towards the 15 legends that have been included in NBA's Greatest Mode for NBA 2K12. While Charles Barkley (and to a lesser extent Reggie Miller and Allen Iverson) have grabbed much of the attention lately regarding their absence from NBA 2K12 the featured lineup is intriguing and even the historic teams that don't include one of those 15 chosen legends offer some fantastic players and squads of the past. Check out the full roste...
