its about time… even though this is the first entry for the xbox 360 from 2k and most of their time was probably used making 2k5 compatible with the 360 and not adding new features it cant be any worse then madden. madden has lived off its name for years and most people wont even give the 2k series a chance. everyone that i have come across that has given 2k a legitimate chance quickly figures out that the game play is far superior to madden. why do you think they bought the exclusive rights to the NFL naming? now that 2k has a working game for the 360 they can spend all their time updating all the features. i fully expect 2k9 to be unbelievable and to leave madden in the dust. now if only they can get the NFL PA rights back.
