It's been a long time coming and today it will be addressed. Why are Sports Games made by people who have ZERO experience in Sports? Why are developers afraid to make certain Sports Games, without official licenses? Why do Gamers eat up the same crap year after year, with little to no additions? All of these questions will be answered, as well as looking into the future of Sports Video Games have to offer.

  • Event does that young man you featured in your video talking about 2k have a Youtube channel?

  • @WWETNAwrestlingfan15

    Yes, I'll send you his channel.

  • you cant blame developers for the way games are coming out it is not their fault what most people don't realize is game devs are spending about 60 hours a week working and have to meet a certain deadlines for the game if you want to blame somebody blame the higher ups in the companies because they are the ones that force the game devs to meet a certain date trust me i know for a fact it is no easy task to do animation because i am currently taking an animation class and it is no cake walk

  • @xwattsh

    I take it you haven't seen my art videos, since I majored in animation? A lot of the animations you see in the game are used from previous games, as well as character models. Now granted devs do have a deadline, but they are responsible for what comes out. 2K 11 was produced for a year and a half, instead of the usual 6 month cycle. If they cannot meet that commitment, then they surely need a new model instead of rushing to get a game out and then cut support on it.

  • NBA 2K12 sucks just as bad as Madden, if not worse. And I didn't think it would. Almost every videogame these days have tons of flaws, bugs, and glitches. Videogames are getting worse, just like music, and movies. It's time for a lawsuit, because I'm sick of paying $60 for trash.

  • @thenewmike2012

    So let me get this straight, I don't talk about the Eagles for 2 weeks and I'm abandoning fans? Whatever. It just goes to show you no matter what I do, I won't please everyone. This video I was suppose to do 6 months ago and now I'm getting shit for it? Really? And then people wonder why I'm starting to distance myself from online comments. At this point, let people make their own videos. If it makes you feel better, the Cowboys are in town today.

  • madden still got online problems, glad i switch to shooting games battlefield cares about there fans

  • it seems like nhl is the only series that wants to evolve year after year

  • This young man is right EA Sports has had plenty of time to come out with a new game. And I know you didn't buy it Event after those videos you made about 2K11 lol. Funny as hell. And how are they going to release it with no rookies? Most likely due to this lockout, the rosters are obviously very inaccurate and bad online play to boot doesn't help things.

  • @thenewmike2012 Because gaming > Sports.

  • @airman47 Yep, I got like three vids paused with Event going. Listen to this man! Respect for you Event.

  • The guys that are wondering why you're not talking about the eagles don't watch your show daily lol, I wasn't surprised at all that you didn't make an eagles vid(came off a bye) unless they want to here 15 mins of samuel or reid 12- 0 bye, like seriously lol
