2k and Mayweather Jr., should EA be worried? Visual Concept will be at the reigns?!?

Did Visual Concepts work on MLB2k and NHL2k? I thought they only did NBA2k and NFL2k...

I wouldn't mind seeing VC try a boxing game

One good sports title, does not make a good sports line. VC is such an overrated studio it's not even funny.

NBA 2k shows what VC are capable of when Take Two HQ provides $ resources.

They couldn't do no worst than what EA is pushing out. The sheer fact that another company would make a boxing game puts fear in EA. EA hates competition.

I'm sure EA is shaking in their boots that an underfunded, and most likely unpolished boxing game will hurt them somehow. It was the same with NHL2k, the same with MLB2k and their only competition there was The Show on one platform and a handheld.

Take Two either has zero confidence in any team except the NBA team, and really with how bad Live was for a while NBA2k selling enough to get money pumped into it's development isn't a shock, or they fear how much it would cost to actually have a sports line on even ground with EA's.

I don't think VC deserves passes for a terrible hockey and baseball title since the move to next gen, underfunded or not. They're wholely owned by take two, it's not like they're some 3rd party dev seperated from the publisher.

There's a reason, probably multiple reasons Take Two didn't have faith in their other skus/teams enough to cancle them outright.

VC took over for NHL2K10 and MLB 2K12.
Both games were an absolute mess when they were given the job and I think VC did a great job with the limited time, and faulty builds they had to work with.

I really enjoy MLB2K12 and I think if VC were given a fresh start, it would be right up there with NBA2K. Same with NHL.

So I truly believe VC could make a great boxing game.
But if EA can't make a go of it, then nobody else is going to give it a shot.

Fight Night is dead and I fear we won't see another console boxing game for a few years. At least until next gen comes out. Even then...

You went with me to the EA Community Event when Round 4 was being made and I was a Senior Moderator on EA forums. So, I/we know how nervous the producers and EA were. I hate when people guess but don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
