Crabcake 1,703 Posted July 27, 2018 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2788191-ice-cube-says-ea-2k-sports-interested-in-big-3-video-game?share=other This could be interesting and potentially fun, under certain circumstances. I’ve never watched a BIG3 game but the concept seems interesting. From a purely video game perspective, if this is a $20ish fun little game that isn’t trying to be a AAA 2K clone, I’d try it. Imo it could also work as a game mode or addition to 2K or Live, although I’m sure EA or 2K would make it a ridiculously overpriced DLC.

A live Friday night timeslot hasn't helped. Some of the nights on big FOX with 5pm starts were jettisoned to another FOX affiliated channel on the west coast. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfwabel 4,155 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Well, they will have some major changes for this season. 1- Add four more teams will be added, to make 12 2- Will look to play twice a week, and in 18 cities. Last year, they played weekly in just 12 cities. 3- Lisa Leslie will coach a team. Her team will be the "Triplets". The other three team names are TBA. 4- The age minimum of 30 has been lowered to 27. They will not return FS1/FOX but have yet to name a media partner.

It's during the summer when they need the extra options to fill slots. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ice Cube is looking to partner with Viacom, along with Alex&Ani founder Carolyn Rafaelian to purchase some or all of the ESPN RSNs. I'd think a Viacom cable channel, like Paramount Network, first, maybe even Nickelodeon to attract kids as in a simulcast. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4_tattoos 1,362 Posted January 12, 2019 With WWE Smackdown moving to Fox, I could see USA Network taking a chance with BIG3 now that it has a proven fan base. In addition to that being under the Universal umbrella could open up the door for NBC and/or NBCSN to air some games. Just a thought. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4_tattoos 1,362 Posted January 12, 2019 Lowering the league's minimum age to 27 was likely done due to expanding by 4 more teams. There's only so many 30 and up former NBA players out there. Got to open up the talent pool a little. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanMcD29 740 Posted January 13, 2019 I know at least it's a Women's World Cup/Gold Cup year, but geez you'd think with UFC gone that Big3 would at least get some non-random-MLB-quasi-GOTW summer programming on for FS1 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
