L3thal Veteran Posted November 25, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2006 Though I've never liked the 2K sports games... They don't match up to EA's series. No? From experience, I Can tell you off the bat that their sports game are better than EA's. NFL 2k5 whooped Madden's butt in almost every aspect, hence why EA went out and got an exclusive license with the NFLPA. NBA 2k7 is way ahead of NBA Live this year for the PS3 and NHL 2k7? Wow, I just picked that up for the PS3 and that game is just beyond good. The only good game EA has, in my books, is NCAA Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is that the 2K games used to be much worse than EA. OVer the last couple of years, though, they've made tremendous gains while the EA games just got suckier. A lot of people haven't tried the new ones and keep thinking of the older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is that EA sports games are much better. And yes, I have tried the newer ones and I just don't like the playing style.
