here we go again. once this game bombs, EA will blame the userbase. they'll say "See, See! the wii userbase is only casual and they dont want quality core/sports games!". eventually they will stop developing core/sports games for wii and use this as their excuse....yeah, screw EA....

come to think of it, EA not devolping for the wii is becoming more of a good idea....

 

 

yep and im looking forward to it when they do lol

and 1 more thing, NBA Jam is not a cores title anyone should know that. its the  Mario Kart of basketball. its a casual arcade sports game

NBA Jam may not originally have been core, but its main target audience (or a large part of it) is the nostalgia crowd, and that crowd is mainly core players (imo)... And quite a number of that crowd do care (imo) if they are short changed or not, regardless of whether online was in the original and regardless of whether it was promised for this version or not. Sure, some won't care, but enough will to hurt its sales.

Wouldn't the nostialgia crowd be those that, knowing the merits of older games regardless of online, still not care if the nostalgic games had online?

Logically yes, but a lot of today's core gamers are not logical (just watch the "Nintendo has betrayed its core gamers" crowd).

Well that's the vocal minority, not those that just want to play games.
