Welcome to NSR Watch

Finally a home for me and others to rant and rave about the two biggest pieces of shit in video game history none other then: ea sports ceo (Larry Probt), and ea game producer (James 'KY' Hawkins).
Look forward to many interesting articles as we document the past and future of these dickheads as they screw over the public with there so called "flawless sim to date"
Welcome and enjoy the ride (or roast).

2K Sports STRIKES Back..Same Old Redundant EA Madden Shit..."NO MORE!!"




http://www.gamespot.com/news/6164995.html

For NFL 2K Football fans, the announcement of Electronic Arts' late-2004 exclusive deal with the National Football League (NFL) hurt more than a blindside sack from an unblocked linebacker. The agreement made EA's popular Madden franchise the only NFL-licensed game in town and also effectively ended the career of Visual Concepts' NFL 2K Football series. Rubbing salt in the wound, EA would eventually acquire the exclusive rights to make games based on NCAA Football and the Arena Football League.

After EA made the deal, Sega decided to bail on the sports scene and sold off the jock-centric studios of Visual Concepts and Kush Games to Take-Two Interactive. Take-Two formed 2K Sports and made sports games based on the licenses of the MLB, NHL, NBA, and more, but stayed away from football of any kind.

Midway Games went rough-and-tumble with the unlicensed Blitz: The League.
Midway Games, on the other hand, believed that a successful football game did not need the blessing of the NFL, and it eventually released Blitz: The League, a dark look at the underbelly of professional football. Instead of using real teams and players, Midway created a fictional league and made up its own players. The publisher's gamble proved to be a good move, and the game went on to be a surprising success.

Now it appears that 2K Sports is feeling like it wants to get off the sidelines as well. Today, the publisher announced that Visual Concepts is returning to football with All-Pro Football 2K8. The game is scheduled for release on "next generation video game systems" this summer

Now this is amazing..I'm quite shocked that even a cold blooded paper pushing white collared deadbeat company such as EA "Fucking" Sports could fuck up this badly. EA ought to be capable of shutting down the loop holes and dominating the market. I mean come on they spent all those millions on those exclusives..to insure the only departments at EA sports that need to remain busy is the "box art" division as any fucking intern doushe could run the cd-burner required to re-hash yearly installments of Madden NFL Football...but at last friends....as we all know..."shit ain't like dat"... Despite holding a big hand of Golden (purchased albeit) ticket with a stacked deck full of fucking exclusives in there favor. EA sports has managed to produce the lack luster quality games we all expect ..which in a poetic style of justice that may be there own undoing (we hope)...as Now 2K sports has went from prey to predator on the drop of a hat. It looks as the promise of no competion in the NFL market to stock holder (like all ea promises) is all BULLSHIT...as just in 2004 when 2K sports bitched slapped you (EA sports the all mighty) with a $19.99 quality game that forced you to slash prices in order to save your ever declining profit margins...its all about to happen again. and we here at NSR Watch couldn't be HAPPIER! :)

Have fun at annual report time next year explaining this on as I don't think all the "james hawkins" s in the world are going to beable to spin current tibron toilet bomb into something "prefered" when there is competion.

CHEERS!!!

Although this developer is purely console, they KICK EA's ass. I am sure they could probably create a PC racing title if only they had deeper pockets than Electronic Farts. A title that has great league tools, painting utilities, and proper rules implementation.

Nice to see that NASCAR license ticker up there get under 700 days now. LOL
