On the surface, “NBA Live 16” and “NBA 2K16” look comparable. That”s the case again this year as the two NBA games go head to head.
It”s not that EA”s game is bad, but rather that its rival, the “NBA 2K” series, is so good. The franchise”s biggest obstacle has been the competition. But that”s the least of “NBA Live”s” problems. The series took a huge blow when it was delayed and then put on the back burner after an unsuccessful revamp. But for several reasons, the “NBA Live” franchise has yet to catch on in the same way. The company”s “Madden NFL” series is synonymous with football, and its “FIFA” soccer games are just as popular outside American shores.
Although Electronic Arts has dominated the market for most sports video games, there is one area that it hasn”t cracked - basketball.
