EA Sports picked one hell of a day to confirm its NBA title’s name change. Not like anyone will remember today for Michael Jordan returning to video games, Ken Griffey Jr. retiring, or the worst umpiring mistake in baseball history.
Strong users of rental services and resale or trade-in options, sports gamers justifiably feel blindsided by EA Sports’ new “Online Pass”, which requires a ton of once-standard game content to be activated by a one-use code.
Mike Wang (pictured), hired away from 2K Sports by EA Sports to help turn around the sagging NBA Live franchise, is back with the NBA 2K team after just one year working on Live.
Friendly reminder that beginning in about 30 minutes, Xbox 360 Achievements.org is staging one last run on NBA Live 07′s “Online with 1,000 People” achievement. This is the last chance to do it before EA shuts down the servers on Tuesday.
Achievement boosters failed back in October to claim the 100-point bounty for being signed in with 1000 others to NBA Live 07. With servers for the game deactivating February 2, they’ll take another crack at it on January 31.
EA Sports continues its full-court press into the mobile games space with NBA Live. Madden and FIFA delivered enjoyable football and soccer experiences, can the iPhone and iPod Touch hope to contain five-on-five basketball?
