2K Sports Will Not Release NHL 2K12

[BlueNGold]

The really disappointing part of all this isn't even the fact we won't have two hockey games again this year, but the fact that 2K is slowly but surely dwindling down to just having NBA 2K left in their sports lineup.

Eh, I don't think that will be the case. While they may not keep the exclusive license for MLB I'm sure they'll resign. Plus there is rumor they have talked to the NFL about getting a license for 2013 so they can bring back their NFL series. I honestly don't think the hockey series is done for good, just for these consoles. I also don't think all the games were garbage at best lately. 2K9 was and 2K7 as well, but 2K10 and 2K8 are very playable hockey games.

They're undoubtedly not playing NHL 10 or NHL 11 either......


Both games have EA and 2K have flaws and are not great as a whole although both have some good elements......All I want is options.....

It's a shame that they never ported the game to the PC like they have done with the NBA and MLB titles. With the modding community as passionate as they are, the game could have been something on the PC.

They don't come around OS anyway, so who cares?? It's not like the 2K traffic here is that great or has been for some time.

It's a shame they ever released 2K9. Think about what kind of hockey game they could have made if they had axed 2K9 and maybe even 2K10 to develop a complete game to compete with NHL 11. 2K9 really killed it for 2K Hockey, much more so than 2K8's control scheme or 2K7's Cinemotion/Players Breath.

Too bad. but it was bound to happen. We can still play the old games which are fun.

They weren't. Other than the Wii port, it's been dead for 18 months or so.
