2K Sports aiming for next-gen success
52
With EA canceling NBA Live 07 for PS3, 2K Sports has a real opportunity to position itself on next-gen. Gamedaily.com spoke with VP of Marketing Erik Whiteford (right) about the company's battle with EA Sports (there's a fair amount of trash talking!), their next-gen strategy, plans for the football and baseball categories and more.

Isn't NBA Live 07 still on 360?
I guess next gen sports are better positioned on the 360. With also Fifa 07 and PES6 only on 360 up to Christmas 2007.

They set the bar high and make sure their games look good no matter what system it's running on. I wish every developer had this kind of attitude. I agree HyperBear that NBA 07 was not anywhere near as good as NBA 2K7.

I played Sony's game today on the PS3 and the demo of EA's on the 360 and it's sad because i hate everything EA does but i have to admit that they made Sony look like crap. The graphics were lacking on Sony's game in many important areas. The game overall just did not feel like it was finished and in some scenes the players looked like they were from the PS1 because there joints would break open and there limbs would get all blocky. There was also a weird white line around every character that seemed odd. I doubt any of those problems are related to what was generating it but the PS3 in the case was off and disconnected while a really loud fan was coming from underneath, anyone know how the demo stations are run?

6 - You own a 360 and nba 2k7
But yet your screen name on here is highps3. Yeah, we believe you buddy. But besides that you must be the only gamer on the planet who thinks Nba07 is anywhere near Nba2k7 on the 360 or even on the inferior version on the ps3. That is hilarious. There isn't one editor on the planet who agree's with you. Nba2k7 is better on the ps3 than nba07 is. And Nba 2k7 on the 360 is better than Nba2k7 on the ps3. And its not just me playing them all and owning a ps3 and a 360. Its every review site on the planet agreeing with me....Nba2k7 is more highly rated on the 360 than on the ps3. And Nba07 has recieved the worst scores of any sports game. 3's, 4's, and 5's. WOW. Thanks Microsoft.

6.1 - Leave it to you
To turn yet another thread into a a PS3 versus Xbox 360 debate.
This thread is about 2K Sports not about PS3 versus Xbox 360.
Btw the PS3 version of NBA 2K7 got 8.5 and Xbox 360 got 8.7 from IGN and GameSpot rated the game at 8.2 for both system versions. Seems to me that they tried and succeeded in creating a good version of their game for both systems, just like they said they do.

Actually if u read the reviews, the 360 looks and plays better but what makes the ps3 version better is the 6-axis control. When you shoot the freethrow u actually move the controller forward. I personally think its dumb but a few reviewers liked it.

7 - Who's the fanboy, gametime?
The PS3 version of nba 2k7 got an 8.5 from ign, while the 360 version got an 8.3. I think that the .2 difference gametime refers to is really not as big of a deal as he makes it sound...
i could just as easily claim the 360 version to be superior, just check out metacritc and you'll see nba 2k7 on 360 gets an 85, while the ps3 version gets an 82. in fact, it's a pretty common theme... the 360 versions of cross platform games pretty much always have 2-3% points more than ps3

#6.1 HighPS3 did that by lieing so he could bash the 360, leave it to you to have selective blame flaming tactics like all Sony fans.
#6.2 you're just a nut that's in-love with the PS3; you talk out of your ass even if what you're saying is widly know to be false you're so pathetic no one bothers to correct you; they just leave you be like a handi-cap kid.

Once again....Nba2k7 rates better on the 360 than it does on the ps3. I don't make up this stuff folks...I just report it. Un tainted and unbiased. Get it? Got it? Good. This thread is about 2k sports and nba2k7. I'm just responding to a previous poster who said something outragious about NBA07 being better than Nba2k7 and returning his imaginary 360 because of it. Understand? Good. Thanks Microsoft.

you can only look at scores that where provided by sites for both systems of which there where only 4 from the link you provided.
Guess what?

Seems pretty even to me by those sites that actually reviewed both versions of the game.
Makes statements like this seem very fanboyish.

11 - It's not over!!
NBA2k7 may edge out NBA07 as the better basketball game but, GoW kicks both games in the a$$! That's right, I said it and I'll say it again. GoW dominates over NBA2k7 in every aspect (graphics, gameplay, physics, etc.). Hell, I'd even go far as saying that 2kSports will never ever be able to compete with the likes of GoW. There. Nuff said. Take that fanboys!!

I say its all over because it is. There shouldn't be any more arguements about which console is better. All the reviews and low scoring games says it all. Now its about enjoying what ever console you have and playing games. I have a Ps3. I'm waiting for a game that shows me I didn't waste over 600 dollars. I haven't seen one yet and I have every launch game. Honestly it just makes me feel alot better about my purchase a year ago in the 360. I don't know how Microsoft pulled it off. But its truly amazing. Thats why you always here me say Thanks Microsoft. I really love what they have done with their next gen system. And with over 24 editors choice games within a year...its just fantastic right now to be a gamer.

17.1 - The 360 has Arcade games that score higher than PS3 tittles. AAA Arcade lol.
one or two? you're an idiot just don't comment on the 360 because you don't know sh*t(have no idea what the fuc you're talking about).
From the IGN:
The year 2007 will be your year for exclusives and big-ass, next-generation, OMG games. The AAA list looks more like the AAA of your dreams: Mass Effect, Forza Motorsport 2, Halo 3, Fable 2 (well OK, we know this will get pushed back to 2008), Alan Wake, BioShock, The Darkness, Shadowrun, Lost Planet, Lost Odyssey, Too Human, Blue Dragon, Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero 2, GTA IV, Project Gotham Racing 4, and maybe even Resident Evil 5 will hit the system. And if that wasn't enough, Microsoft and its partners have two dozen more titles they haven't even revealed yet baking in the oven.
You're alittle slow, heh!.

19 - If EA has dropped their basketball title for PS3
can the rest of their games be far behind?? How is PS3 going to compete without EA?? EA also wields a lot of power in the industry. Where they lead, others follow. If EA drops PS3 support, other software producers may do the same figuring that if it isn't profitable for a giant like EA, how can it be profitable for a smaller company with fewer resources and less programming talent??

Micro- interesting point. Even though EA games suck and I dislike them very much, they do have alot of power in the gaming industry.
antan- Sorry to have to be the one to clue you in but sony already had a year to get they sh!t together and they still f*cked up. lol And now sony fanboys just make up excuses for the ps3 like: O my gosh u xbots its 1st gen versus 2nd gen and lets wait a year for the ps3 to launch. blah blah blah. Had the 360 launched this year, its launch titles would be blowing the ps3s completely out of the water and some of em already do anyway.
Ps- Every multiplatform game (PS3/360) is rated better on 360. Check gamerankings. And yes that basketball game made by sony is a piece of sh!t.

I knew that it would somehow become a PS3 vs 360 discussion. That is truly pathetic. And for those that didn't/couldn't see that I was just being sarcastic with the GoW is better than 2k7 posts (get those blinders off boys!), now you know. And yes, 2k7 has been one of the best basketball franchises in quite a long time. Live and NBA07 are getting a little better but are not quite on par with this excellent series.

25 - credit where its due
Its time both sides have credit where it is due!
MS/360 have a good line up of games coming a lot of AAA potential and I do give MS credit they have vastly improved from the xbox 1
But you have to give credit 2 Sony for the things they have done! First they are trying to push the technology with the cell, Bluetooth, sixaxis and blu ray! They have also made a very strong line up of games from a variety of genres! LAIR, Heavenly Sword, GT, Motorstorm, FF13, White Knight Story,MGS4, DMC4, Killzone Rachet and clank 5, GT 5 and whatever SCEA has hidden this far! That is a fabulous line up also. Its all a matter of preference.....
I roll with Sony because they have the games I like to play! Not because I hate MS or the 360! Truth is I'm just not interested in FPS games that much. I like the variety Sony offers.
Its not like I never have MS the fair chance, I did but I'm just not feeling it! Thanks but no thanks 360!
Just give credit where its due and stop this insane hatred and console loyalty.
On a side note you all are putting WAY too much emphasis on game rankings! Why do you care so much what someone else rates a game? You can't make your rankings to decide which games are good? Its almost like you take these game rankings other sites provide as the final say on if a game is good great or AAA! Play the game and make your own damn choice!

26 - THE TRUTH -
I can't speak for everyone...but when I supply game rankings...I do it to support what I believe. Because on this site if you give an opinion that doesn't favor SONY...You get bashed. So therefore...You state your opinion and then you supply links or info to support your opinion. Thats what seperates fanboys from Intelligent gamers. You will never hear me say anything sucks. I go into detail on what I liked or didn't like. Then I supply links from editors and reviewers who share my opinions in the obvious flaws or great aspects of a game.
Its funny to hear The Truth attempt to say something nice about the 360. You go way back on this site. And you have bashed the 360 many many a times. And you did it like a sony fanboy would. See, you neglect to consider that millions of 360 gamers believe that there is much more AAA titles out NOW than you would like to give credit for. If a game is on the pc and the 360...its still microsoft exclusive buddy. And it doesn't take away from them being AAA titles. Especially when the 360 version out sells the PC version in every instance. Any time someone expresses joy or contentment in the 360...You and other sony fanboys say we have some kind of loyalty to MS. Not true. We are loyal to great games. Thus the 5.2 games sold per console. But also we are critical of games that just don't cut it in the next gen. So I think you have it backwards with the brand loyality bit buddy. Its you and DJ and others who can't accept and refuse to accept that the ps3 is not performing well in this next generation so far. And if you think that the ps3 is doing well....you are dillusional. Launch games getting 1's, 2's, 3's, and 6's out of 10. Every third party game released thus far is underperforming the 360 version...with Nba2k7 coming the closest but the frame rate is a problem. How can any gamer be happy about that? I'm not. And I bought it at launch. I would be lying to myself and others if I said otherwise. Motorstorm looks promising if the framerate can get to at least 30fps...but for that type of game I would prefer 60fps....and I can't believe we are talking about a 600 dollar system not being able to keep a steady frame rate in this next generation of gaming...That says a lot. We refer to reviews because its documented facts from their professional perspective on the games. There is nothing worse than extreme fanboys lying and telling folks these games are great when they are far from it. That would be wrong to boost up sad games and dupe people into spending over half a grand just to be totally dissappointed. I'm just happy I can afford it. Others may actually save for the ps3...reviews are important to many gamers who don't have the money to try every game. But everything I have stated comes from my personal experience with the ps3 and 360. And The Truth...... Have you got your ps3 yet? I'm just curious. Because if you are a gamer like you let on to be....you are in for some dissappointment since you have played the 360 and claim to not be happy with it. You are a rare case or a complete liar. 5.2 games per console tells the whole story here. We love our system and we buy games like no other in HISTORY. And there are 24 editors choice games out for the 360 Right now. And they aren't all shooters. There is a wide variety of AAA games for the 360. Much more than the ps3 is offering ANY TIME SOON.

26.1 - I'm nobody's fanboy
I was actually looking forward to getting a PS3, but now with all the many different ways Sony has come up with to competely blow the launch, I just can't see getting one. At one point I even vowed that a 360 would never set foot in my house, yet here I am a year after launch with a 360 and vowing never to get a PS3. I loved my PS2 (before it died from playing too many movies) and I also loved all the PS1 games that I had, but the high price on the PS3 just hurts too much. Also, I keep seeing dead demo units in stores, either frozen or else unplugged because they don't work. I tried hard to be loyal to Sony, and Sony convinced me they didn't really want my business with all the things they did wrong. I'll be happy with my 360, and maybe later I'll also get a Wii, but never a PS3. I'll go get a used PS2 from Gamestop if I want to play my PS2 and PS1 games again.

The Truth has a point....although you two seem to differ vastly in your tastes of games/platforms, I agree that you put too much emphasis on rankings, reviews, and things of that nature.
It almost seems as if you don't have your own opinion on things, but would rather listen to what reviews and these so-called credible links and sources you hold in such high regard. Here's a little bit of info: The internet is the number one place for a person, business or group to perpetuate their beliefs, period. It doesn't matter whether or not someone is a professional, hobbyist, or whatever, there's propaganda all over the place, and the people who make these reviews are humans with opinions, just like you and me, so you can't claim a review or even several reviews as fact, as you so often do.
I notice that you like to shove statistics in people's faces quite often, as if 5.2 games per console and highest number of consoles sold necessarily means that the experience will be superior. Do those numbers really mean anything in that respect? Do you honestly believe that a higher rating on game rankings means that a game is better, or rather, that it's FACTUAL proof of being better? I certainly hope not, because like I said, all those individuals that write all those reviews are humans with opinions, and claiming a slew of OPINIONS as FACT is just nonsensical. Your lack of prudence is surprising, especially considering how adamant you are in your views.
Take more time to develop your own opinions, rather than follow those of others, regardless of whether or not they are "professionals". Listening to everything that gamerankings publishes means that you have no mind of your own, and that you jump on the bandwagon, much like how a sports fan's favorite team may change based upon who's winning that season. You say that you have all of the systems, right? Instead of shoving so many numbers down peoples throats, why not cite your own gameplay experiences instead? People would probably take you more seriously then.

You obviously haven't read any of my postings throught the many months I have been a part of this site. I always give my opinion FIRST...but then due to the fact that the people you tend to side with...DJ, The Truth, ect.....they bash gamers personally and they bash peoples views if it differs from their PS3 ONLY mentality. You see, you have to understand the history before you jump into something that you have no idea about buddy. So therefore to strengthen my views, I support them with links. Not just reviews, but programmers annalyste, and facts from Developers, ect..... This way I don't look like DJ and The Truth in the way they have their Fanboy Rants with nothing but their wishes and dreams as "Facts". I will always give my opinion FIRST...then I will Always give "Facts" to support my claims or opinion. I know for a fact that many a gamer has learned a lot from the things I have said and the links I have provided through the years. At least 30 of my friends on xbox live are from people I have met on this site. Its amazing. And I get asked questions all the time due to the fact that I have every single game and every single system....And on top of that....I'm not biased towards one company. I'm biased towards Great Games. As long as the games are Great...I'm in. But if you and millions of others believe that the ps3 is lacking in Great Games and not giving us what we expected from a video game sytem that costs over half a grand....Sony fans like the ones you tend to support "Bash" you no regard for human life. They are fanatics who base their opinion off of Fanboyism. They have an unhealthy love for ONE video game company and will do anything from LIE to Bash other gamers to get their point across. I could care less what they think or even what you think. Anyone who has followed my posts through the months know that I wear my opinion on my chest like a badge of honor. But it doesn't stop there. Because of my nature, I will always back my opinion up with facts from several sources as a defense mechanism from dealing with the Sony Droids through the months.
The numbers I push down people's throats as you say....stem from all the things that The Truth, DJ, Jin, Xbug, and many others have been saying prior to the ps3 launch. The numbers is a reminder that they were ALL DEAD WRONG... If you could have seen the many days and nights that they would bash anyone who wasn't a part of their SONY ONLY club. You would be like..."WOW". These are adults. All the name calling. All the made up numbers and so called facts with no links to support their outlandish claims. It was out of control. So, by instinct I always give links to support anything I say. It shuts the fanboys up instantly. Now that we have a bubble system...you have to make your posts worth reading and having your counter arguements already laid out in your commnet.
P.S. Owning a Ps3 has made me even happier about my 360 purchases a year ago. And thats being 100% completely honest. Its amazing how far ahead MS was thinking with their system. The price is perfect...the games are Great....and the xbox live community is huge and growing at a rapid rate. The ps3 games for the most part have horrible frame rates and the graphics as of now aren't up to par with the 360 games. I say this as a Gamer. And once again...for the sony fans who want to bash and say otherwise...Just about EVERY review agree's with me. And I recall months ago Sony fans posting reviews of games getting mid 8's and YELLING about how the 360 has no AAA titles. ha ha ha ha ha ha....Now look what you get. The game with the highest average rating is ....an 8. WOW. And most of your launch games recieved 1's, 2's, adn so on.
I said months ago through all the stuff that sony fans were talking and ranting about with the 360 that they would get exactly what they deserve and I told them I was excited for the day the ps3 would launch. And its hilarious to me. Its actually much worse than I could have imagined. Too funny. And they did get what they deserve for being so mean spirited through the months prior to launch. All I have to say is Thanks Microsoft. You delievered in every way. IGN graded you an A- for last years launch...and Sony's ps3 got a "D". WOW. Thats why I say the war is over. Its done. play what you like and stop with the bashing. Right now Ps3 has entered the ring but its a one sided fight. The 360 is beating it every which way.
P.S. I am patiently waiting for some AAA games for the ps3. Maybe the end of 2007 will show something. But, I'm glad I have been blessed enough to have the money to blow on a next gen dud as of now. It doesn't hurt my pockets like it might others who invested in it. I have a problem. I spend 1000's every year on games for PC, and consoles. I buy everything. I love video games. Get it? Got it? Good.
BTW...LandofSand....I'm sorry I couldn't join you last night in Gears of war. I was playing Rainbow Six with the fam. I just love the fact that all of us have our faces in the game and when you talk your lips move in sync....Its too much fun. I will catch you another time buddy.

30 - as usual top gamer(real deal)
shoves his opinion down other gamers throats that he prefers microsoft over sony.he wastes more time trying to get people to jump in on the ps3 side. instead of posting his own views,he posts "OTHERS" views.if you like the ps3,you obviously have something wrong with you or believe in the"SONY LIES". a gamer can't like more than one thing or game system.a gamer can't like resistance or nba 2k7 or rr7 or genji without having reviews from others to back up the game.some top games may suck to other people.some, what seem like crappy games,end up being gems in someone's library.
the thing is,nba 2k7 on ps3 is fun.the system is fun,the controller has a cool feature that enhances some games.the motorstorm download is crazy fun.much better than retail.and the system will have big games in the future.only an idiot like him would believe that there will be no hit games for ps3.that no games will ever get 10s or 9s.which don't matter because it's an opinion.some games on all systems are just made poorly.that we can all agree on.control issues or horrid cameras that make you sick.BUT THE PS3 IS NOT A DUD.THERE MAY NOT BE THAT MANY ON THE MARKET.BUT ONLY A FOOL WOULD BUY A SYSTEM SO THAT HE CAN RAG ON IT TO HIS SUPPOSED INTERNET FRIENDS.HE HAS NO RESPECT FROM ME OR ANY REAL GAMER.REAL GAMERS SEE HITS ON PS3,360 AND WII.REAL GAMERS PLAY GAMES.YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A FAN OF ANY SYSTEM TO SEE HIS FANBOYISM OF ONE SYSTEM OVER ANOTHER.IT'S HIS CHOICE AND OPINION,BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE IT EVERYONE ELSES.

31 - Your reply has so many holes in it,
that it's laughable. You bring to the table the very reasons why I usually refrain from commenting on your posts. You're too stubborn for your own good, which is exactly why nobody outside of your realm can get through to you. That's fine, it's what I expected, I dont know why I figured you might listen to what a critical viewpoint may say for once, guess I was wrong.
First of all, I've been a visitor of this site since about February, and I remember you as Real Deal, so your little arbitrary speculation is just completely wrong. Siding with who...? I don't even need to justify that with a response. It's interesting though, how you can pass a false judgement on me without knowing my history, and then you go on to tell ME that I'm the one who needs to do some background research...hmm...teapot, meet kettle.
There you go talking about facts again...because you ALWAYS back things up with facts, right? So I guess the images you posted of real vehicles and claimed them as 360 graphics was a fact...right? How about that article that IGN posted and ADMITTED was slanted by Microsoft? I know you've cited that article as FACT on many occasions. Need I say more? You use your so-called facts as a defense mechanism for the SONY DROIDS. That just says it all right there. You attempt to feign being the top gamer, yet you only try to refute the claims of Sony fans. If you were what you lead people to believe you are, you would challenge or agree with the comments of Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft fans alike, but that single statement sums it all up, you look for sources solely for the purpose of dealing with SONY fanboys, not fanboys in general. I'd really like to read how you'd explain this one, but much to my dismay(well, maybe not), that was your last bubble. Bravo, gamer, bravo.
Defending your statistics masquerade I see. How does that make anybody wrong? Honestly, what are you really proving by telling everybody the seven million sold and the 5.2 games per console? I suppose in your head that means that the 360 is a better console, because it seems that you base your opinions and decisions on the purchases and opinions of others. Reality check: Statistics mean nothing in an OPINIONATED topic about what's good and what's not, cut and dry. I do have to commend you on one thing though, those numbers you clutch so tightly are actually facts, it's just too bad that they never hold any weight when arguing which game/system is superior. I don't think you're in much of a position to be speaking of bashing, with all your talk of "Sony droids", overpromising and underdelivering, blah blah blah. I notice you're NEVER as critical about Microsofts shortcomings, you speak of them as if they were perfect. Wake up.
"Just about EVERY review agrees with me"
I think you've got it backwards, considering your history that I supposedly know nothing of. I'll refrain from elaborating this time, you get the picture...I hope.
You're definitely an interesting character. Everything and anything you say seems to either be hypocritical or from someone else's head, whether that be in the form of useless statistics or reviews. One of the most puzzling aspects of it is that you claim to have every system with every game, yet you NEVER give an opinion based on your own experience, you would rather give a link to a review and label another individuals experience as YOUR PROOF. You would think that with all the knowledge you should possess of this myriad of games you own and play, that you would at least contribute your own reviews or viewpoints, but you just don't. I can't even call you a fanboy, as they at least like and play their system of choice, and quite religiously at that. You seem to be either lying through your teeth or perhaps you have an identity crisis with 7 million others, I just don't know what to make of it, but you're no fanboy, that's for sure.
Quit being a herb and stand on your own two feet, you're not fooling anyone.

You sony fanboys are incredible. You have all truly taken ridiculous and hypocrite to a level I didnt even think was possible. Ive been on this site for a while and let me tell you what I've seen.
Shadowgamer- All you have been all this time is some complete sony droid who lives and breathes SONY. Everytime you post its some sony fanboy bullsh!t that you use to try and bash the 360 but really make yourself look like a complete idiot just like you and you other sony pals like gametime for example.
Enforcer of the truth- Just shut the f*ck up. I cant stand people like you. You are one of the biggest fanboys on this site yet you stay trying to say you enforce the truth. Man change your name to Enforcer of the bullsh!t for all your posts are ridiculous just like shadow.
Top gamer as well as myself and several others have proved the both of you wrong so many damn times it isnt even funny. I cannot stand that you even mentioned the word bash in your post when you were xbug terminator. I mean man you should go down as the biggest idiotic person on this site next to gametime and SSJ who is the god of retardation.
Now genki unlike the other two people you are no complete ass so this can be a bit more civil. You said
"Defending your statistics masquerade I see. How does that make anybody wrong? Honestly, what are you really proving by telling everybody the seven million sold and the 5.2 games per console?"
Obviously you havent been on this site very long. See all those sony fanboys who try to cry on this site like they are some victims were completely going crazy prior and after the 360 launch. They were saying 99% of the games on 360 are garbage. They were saying that Top gamer, myself and many others were dumb for getting a 360, and they were saying that the 360 would sell very well and thats putting it nicely.
Now here we are 1 year later and the 360 is the fastest selling console in history. Is sitting at 7 million right now and in position to hit the 10 million mark by the end of the year. Now the 360 has the highest attach rate in the history of the gaming industry.
Also I would just like to point out that ps3s attach rate is 1.5 while 360s was 3 at launch.
" I don't think you're in much of a position to be speaking of bashing, with all your talk of "Sony droids", overpromising and underdelivering, blah blah blah"
I dont understand how that is bashing and if you had been on this site long enough and seen some of the posts of these sony fans you would be calling them droids too.
"yet you NEVER give an opinion based on your own experience,"
That is not true.
Some of you sony fanboys disgust me. All you do is bash the 360 and now that ps3 is out and 360 and gears of war looks better than resistance and is getting better reviews plus throw in that all the multiplatform games are better on 360 plus throw in the fact that sony messed up their launch and that microsoft is getting sony exclusives left and right and that top gamer has been making you (shadow and enforcer of the bullsh!t) look retarded with facts over and over again, yea I would try to attack him too.
