The main problem with both New IPs was that they weren't that good.
They were new and fresh, but they weren't huge games, and neither had as big of a marketing push as a Madden or NBA Live.
As much as they did try, they didn't try hard enough to get these games out there.
I can't wait til both games are 30 bucks a piece on Amazon after Christmas. I'm going to buy like it's 1999.
