    Dude, what?  

     Apparently this is the only official picture EA has released

    This is cray-ay-ay-zee to me to think NBA Live is changing their name. Live is--or, was--one of the longest running sports game franchises around. They claim the name change is to let people know that the game has undergone significant changes and will be supposedly much better this year. Which is good cause you know, it's been crap for quite some time. It's just weird for me to think the series that has been around literally as long as I can remember is going to get a name change. I guess it's not that big of a deal, especially to most of you guys on Giant Bomb. I know there isn't a huge sports gaming group here. But man, this is crazy to me. 
     
    Does anyone else have thoughts?

    Not. You are right. I do not believe there is a big sports gaming group here. Maybe you should start one.

    I read that NBA 2K11 might use Micheal Jordan as its cover athlete and possibly playable, whatever the fuck that means. I mean shit, why would Michael Jordan be on the cover and not be playable? Sounds like EA has some serious changes on the way and 2K tried to get some pub out there beforehand.
     
    By the way, I really like sports games. I just can't afford to buy one every fucking year. Hell, I'm still playing College Hoops 2K8.
