Did any competing gaming franchise kill the other like NBA 2k did to NBA Live?

NBA Live 2001, I played the shyt out of that game
And it had the classic intro with Montell Jordan


Man, I ain't seen that shyt in a minute. :ooh:

However this song practically synonymous with the game since that's the first song you hear at the menu screen if I'm not mistaken. This was before the rise of the Mp3 so I had to record that shyt off the telly with a tape recorder and I used to just let that shyt play while creating my character.:wow:

UFC lowkey killed the Fight Night franchise. EA need to get off that BS and give us a new boxing game.

All I wanna do is go online and knock some cats out with Canelo. Is that too much to ask for EA :mjcry:

EA killed off its successful franchises all on their own. Fight Night, Dead Space, the entire BIG lineup (SSX, NBA/NFL/FIFA Street, Freekstyle, Def Jam), and ran Rock Band and Skate into the dirt

To me 2k was trash before 2k10.


Nba live had the best shot-releases, best blocking mechanics, best dribble stick ever, centers would not catch up to you if you were fast, you could actually drive past your opponent for easy dunks.


Man shyt was on point. They added signature move buttons that were classic, like the tim duncan running hook which i used to destroy people with. They added Live DNA which updated player attributes on a game to game basis.



2k shot meter was horrible early on too.


I still remember how choppy the players moved, you would get close to a defender and he'd get stuck on you like a magnet :mjlol:

Also on defense you just had to wait til your opponent began his shot animation and tap jump and could get a block 60-70% of the time :mjlol:



Live used to be the greatest, but 2k took over for sure and i dont see them letting up. Quit being stanboys and being biased.

I preferred live's arcade style to the realism of 2k. But I was a kid with a childlike attention span

after live 06, it was a sharp nosedive from there.
