Like I predicted EA took a step back this year with their NBA franchise. NBA Elite gameplay has been revealed and its only helping it’s 2K11 competition.
Three dunks in the first few minutes? Old canned animations from NBA Live?

Hopefully the game will also be the greatest of all-time. After last years bug fest my expectations are low. However, I have a feeling that EA Sports’ NBA Elite won’t be blowing anyone away in its first attempt.

Last night 2k issued this list of fixes coming in the first real patch of NBA 2k10. The patch is going through internal testing first and then will be sent to Xbox Live and PSN for approval. The patch should be out in about two and a half weeks. Judging from this extensive list the [...]

Hey folks, I want to reach out to everyone in the 2K Sports world and let you know that we’re diligently working on a game update for NBA 2K10. Our primary focus is on addressing the framerate issues and online concerns that are being reported. In addition to this, we are planning to address a [...]

NBA 2k10 was released yesterday (10/06) but it may have been released too soon. There are strange bugs and issues all over the game and the match making server keeps going offline.

I originally got the idea for this comic earlier this week but today the news about Rashard Lewis broke so I just had to put him in here.

So it’s 8:00am the day after the Nba trade deadline and the 2k9 rosters have not been updated yet. So far the last update was 2/18/09 11:31pm which includes the John Salmons and Brad Miller trade that landed them in Chicago as [...]

In the last two games at Madison Square Garden the Knicks have been torched by two of the league’s best athletes. First, Kobe Bryant set a Madison Square Garden record of 61 points. Two nights later Lebron James drops a 52 point triple-double to pull out a win in a close battle against the Knicks. [...]

I “Lol’d” when I first saw this commercial. The amazing thing is that because of Lebron’s athleticism it really could happen. Lebron would love to add to his ego and admitted to saying football is one of his favorite sports. He could be the first player to be an All-Star in both the NBA and [...]
