Where is the current generation NBA Street and Def Jam?

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

From what I remeber it wasn't ea/midway's choice to stop making these types games. It was the nfl/nba that made then stop
could b wrong. Tho

NBA and the NFL didn't like the vibe that those games showed for the association. Homecourt sold pretty well, but those companies just don't want those games anymore.

You ever heard of the NFL Blitz story where Midway had to literally hide the game from the NFL until they finished it so they wouldn't get canceled?

As for Def Jam the original devs for FFNY and the original are closed down and the lead for those games died a year or two ago.

Well if that's true it's a damn shame because both these game were really fun and gave players an alternative to the realistic basketball sim and wrestling/fighting games with a touch of black/rap/street culture and there's actually no other games like these to feel the void imo.

This is one time where I wish indies would step up and fill the gap. Take something like NBA Street. They could just make original characters for each of the teams. There could be some Nba street original inspired characters.

And in the case of Def Jam, a party fighting game with street-type characters and made up/parody rappers instead of actual ones.

EA should focus on NBA street over NBA live. I mean if they can't beat 2k at this point, might as well focus on something where they might have a shot.

i definitely dont want to see a fighting game with these 98 pound skinny jean rappers trying to body slam people, but we do need a new NBA jam and NFL blitz

they did blitz and jam last gen and i think they flopped.

NBA Jam On Fire for 360/PS3 was pretty good, even the mobile versions were fun. New Blitz was total garbage though, nothing good about that game besides the updated rosters.

We don't need these great franchises back. All we need is remasters

This. NBA Street Vol. 2 HD and Fight for NY HD

I know you're being sarcastic but I'd take an HD remaster over nothing.
Think about it, DF Jam FFNY or NBA Street HD Collection with online MP, trophies, 1080P/60fps with some new players?? Shiiiit.

i dont know about jam, but i know blitz lost the NFL license and that is a big detriment to it. these games still need the licenses
