2K already tried. It went ... poorly.
Whats wrong? The hits actually land
-
2K obviously doesn't want to make a baseball game seeing as there is nothing stopping them like an exclusivity deal. If you want 2k to make a baseball game, go BabyRage on their boards.
-
Go home OP, you're drunk
-
Keep 2K far away from Baseball until they fix their own Basketball game and dont even get me started with EA...

I'm all for 2K trying, EA too, competition is a good thing, keeps them from resting on their laurels.
But it seems like they're scared, and that ticks me off. There is no competition in Baseball, Football, and Hockey.
Something is VERY wrong with that picture.
2K Had Baseball. Why they let it go, i'd like to know. Not the 2K of today, though. They ruled Football. Their Hockey wasn't bad. Their Baseball got some things right, but 2K today is too microtransaction driven. Hard pass, but i get the OP's point, but from a competition standpoint.Yes, I really hate how each sport is now down to only one game per developer, they have no motivation for ingenuity. You want a realistic baseball game you are buying the show, that's it.
I also really hate what O'Bannon did to college sports games, at least there we had an alternative football and basketball option, even if was still 2k and EA, at least there was a reason to try and be innovative.

Only competition those two companies are having is who’s worse/More greedy . honestly think no one beats EA but 2k gives them a run for there money .
You are only seeing what they are right now where they have thier sport monopolized. If they have to compete with each other for customers, you'd see a different side. Sure they will still be greedy, but not to the point that they will sacrifice improving the game.
Right now it feels like collusion, all 3 of them have thier monopoly and have made some sort of pact to not try and compete, that way they can keep pumping out the same mediocre game year in and year out.
FWIW, SDS is better than the other 2, but that is an extremely low bar to get over.
-
If there was money to be made from a competing sports title, they’d be one.
-
2k already invest big in PGA tour and to be honest it's a pretty good game but also completely different kind of game ... NBA 2K is still the greatest online game on earth..... Oh it's smell sarcasm !!!

I hear you but I would have to see it to believe they would ever change . Also people keep handing them money like no Tmm why change ? There’s no incentive or backlash.

Did you play 2k this year? Current gen has a built in speed burst and next gen is curry slide, curry slide, curry slide shoot.

I agree completely, I am not saying it's a guarantee that they will get better, but the logic is there. There is a better chance competition will force them to improve rather letting them get away with minimal improvements year to year.
Right now we are all playing into it with card collecting modes. All 3 companies know all they have to do is dish out content each year and we will buy, they don't have to put resources into being innovative with game play, or improve servers, etc.

Ahhhh yeah, that experiment has already failed miserably. Try again!!!!!

We just need a EA Star Wars loot box fiasco and backlash till then get comfy nothing will change . Tired of some of these gaming companies like EA , 2k , Ubisoft , I refuse to buy another game from any of them .

Lol terrible trade off, no thank you
Agreed no thanks

RBI Baseball still exists. They have a competitor, it's just terrible.

The 2K gameplay might be [censored] but at least the servers will be better even tho 2K servers sucks
Coming in extremely late with the server dig.

Understandable.
My opinion is always, any company that wants to throw thier hat in the ring, can't make it any worse. Like RBI baseball, we just won't buy it. Obviously the difference is that RBI is trying to carve out thier niche with a pure Arcade game, rather than trying to make direct competition. If we talk about RBI, we may as well talk about those baseball games for out smart phones, or honestly OOTP. It's a baseball video game, but it is not direct competition.

Unfortunately 2k and EA have cornered the market with there Licensing . making it even harder for anyone to even attempt to compete with them and find success doing so , it’s really gonna take the consumers as a whole to take a stand and migrate and give the impression that they would be willing to abandon 2k or EA . Look at Nba Live the product just couldn’t compete with 2k , they seem to have sorta given up because the success was not there .

Yeah, I make no illusions, I see almost no chance that we will see any competition. I just want people to be more receptive about the idea.
