2K Games cancels College Hoops 2K9, NCAA to become EA Exclusive?

Responding to rumors we broke earlier today that College Hoops 2K9 has been canceled due to a breakdown in negotiations with the license holders for collegiate basketball, 2K Sports parent company Take-Two had this to say to Kotaku:

"2K Sports has decided not to continue negotiations with the CLC for the license for its top-rated College Hoops franchise, which would have been released next in November 2008. We are committed to providing fans with high-quality, critically-acclaimed sports games, but given our disciplined approach to the business, we do not believe the current discussions would result in an acceptable outcome. "

I followed up with Take-Two to try and get more details and while the declined to talk about any roll EA might have had in the break-down, they did confirm that College Hoops 2K9 has indeed been canceled.

No word still from The Collegiate Licensing Company or Electronic Arts, but we'll keep you posted.

Fucking assholes.

If they knew how do make a decent basketball game this would be alright, but 2k is miles better at it. They better not get the nba liscense too.

Yeah really, the NBA 2K games have been pretty good, it would really suck if EA got exclusive rights to the NBA.
