Is Kush still developing games for 2K Sports or is Visual Concepts handling all of the development duties now?
 
Also, why can 2K Sport's basketball and (2-year old) football games look so much better than EA's, yet their hockey and baseball games don't? Hmmm...

I think the 2K baseball game looks much better then the MVP game (which is a shimmering, dull textured mess). The thing MVP has going for it are the animations and great gameplay.



Ironic that you came up with this topic. I just vented over at their forums, of course it turned into a pissing match. Well i tried.

I had forgotten how bad MVP looked Embarrassed, but you're right, the animations in MVP (and The Show) blow away anything in the MLB 2K series.
 
Ironic that you posted about being annoyed about the lack for info for 2K's NBA 2K7 on the current-gen platforms. I've been feeling the same way with EA Sports. I was like pulling teeth trying to find info and gameplay videos on NHL 07 for the current-gen consoles.

Re: that other forum. 

 
I don't know how people can so poorly miss the point.
 
 
Back to your topic.  I haven't been following console releases nearly as much since I'm PC gaming quite a bit now, but I have noticed the general lack of all info since E3.  I'm wondering if this is that classic business cycle of sales dropping so PR and advertising money is pulled and so sales drop more so more money is pulled.  The classic vicious cycle.  I think I had a college course about that at one time.  Too many years ago and not enough attention paid.
 
Do you think though that 2k football looks better than Madden 07?  I think both of EA's football games look really good this year.

I am sure they are having to play a little juggling act with dev time/advertising vs current gen price to still keep a good margin.  My problem is they are not even advertising the game on their own website. It is not that hard to do a basic page for current gen owners and throw out a few screens/video/details. That is not very costly as you could easily throw all that out in a half a day and a couple hours to update it until it releases.


On the Xbox ESPN 2K5 is still a much much much better looking game then Madden 07. Plus you have the pile jumps and gang tackling in 2K5. I just had to give up playing 2K5 because it was simply time to move on..
