Madden NFL 13 - Season Ticket & Retail Impressions

[JeffHCross]

It's almost like they have a "soft" deadline of July something for NCAA 14 but not really, there's always room for a patch...what about having the mentality of having it READY for release day?

I think practically every game plans on there being at least one patch. Especially games that can't / don't want to move their release date.

I dont expect EA Sports to be in business in 10 years. Look at their NBA title. 2k kills it. If another company were to make an NFL and NCAA football game, it would put EA out of business. College Hoops 2k8 is still the best next gen college hoops games despite the fact that EA released newer games.

You have heard of the MLB 2k series, right? That "killed" in another way. NCAA College Football 2k sucked. The NHL series drove the NHL 2k series into submission too. 2k has consistently gotten only one sport right: basketball. Now, maybe if they went all in, assembled the greatest football staff ever, and put every penny they could into making a football game, then they could knock Madden or NCAA off their respective pedestals. But 2k hasn't shown an ability to compete, over the long-term, with EA Sports in anything other than basketball.

EA Sports might not be in business ten years from now. But it won't be because of 2k. Or probably competition at all.
