Also, I just found this photo of me getting hip-checked in EASHL when the game came out and the hip-check was still ridiculous:
hip-checked??? of trying to fly in a video game instead?? LOl
The other reason was because ESPN lost their deal with the NHL series and EA has exclusive rights to NHL. I'm not looking for perfection, but seriously.... fix some important problems.
I don't know what ESPN has to do with it, they never had a hand in any of the games as far as I know. They did lose the broadcasting rights to NBC. As far as I know, 2K games still has license to make NHL games, they just don't because EA was ******* them in sales.
espn license HAD nothing to do with it. the 2K hockey games stunk,i guess when EA came out with using the right stick as "your hockey stick" the other company needed to counter that with a design of their own and just can't match that. are they allowed to "copy" that design and use the right stick as "your stick" on 2K hockey games or does EA have that patented?
i wish 2K was able to make football games again,i still own 2K5 football for ps2 i have owned madden games but i **** them and i never really play them,i buy them every few years with the plan of giving them a shot and learning the controls but i **** their graphics,i wish they would lose the exclusive rights to make games and 2K could make them again. is 2K even a company still? the exclusive rights to the NFL by EA is through 2013 which is right around the corner, HOPING???....................
