Yeah, I thought this was about loving the organized game of basketball. There is nothing wrong with trying to get closer to the real life game. For me at least, the ideal is to have real life knowledge of bball translate directly to video game success. Same way Rock Band is easier for real drummers and singers.

I've only played that like 3 times and sucked all 3 lol

I don't know HOW people play that game effectively on the harder levels!

Great point man

I definitely like what im seeing, the games seems to feel more realistic from watching that vid. The muscle anatomy looks real good and very detailed especially the tibialis anterior.

They have but the talk is every year "If 2k didn't fix so and so, I'm not going to buy it" by some people... I just never understood the mindset. Last year it was the armbands. Not trying to trivialize it, just explain my point.

Love of videogames isn't unconditional. It's based on the condition that "if you continue to bust hump and put out a quality product I will continue to support you with my time and money". We all agree on that, we just don't agree on the specific definition of quality. For some it's graphics, for some it's gameplay, others realism etc.

But that's just it... you'll feel the lobby isn't sim enough... others won't agree... I don't think they can win even if they do that. Then it's "there aren't enough fouls."

I think that's a little cynical, but almost not cynical enough. You know people like it if they buy the game, play the game and don't return it after a few weeks. A lack of bitching isn't appreciation, it's an active consumer base. As long as it's tempered with a positive vocal community, it's a good thing. If people truly didn't feel it was sim enough, they'd respond with apathy, not nitpicks.

Just ask NBA 09.

Re: Teaser 4 is up!!!!

Yea and I also agree that people need to cut out the pointless threats that they will buy Live. Yea you might buy Live (and return it) but you will also buy 2K (and keep it).

I definitely would never go that far even though 2K is makin it hard for a man to not crave for info.

That's just people talking ****. I hate people talking ****. It takes a lot for me not to hold people to their own **** talking words, and the few times I succeed in restraining myself, it's just because I know that only causes them to talk more **** in the end. I'm trying to ignore the **** talking and look at the issues: footplanting looked good, cross looked tight, dunk in traffic looked terrible, give us a SIM lobby, thanks for all the hard work.

That Live talk is just **** talking though.

But there were no slider adjustments that could prevent Anderson Varejoa from dunking on a whole front line because the game doesn't recognize defense when defending standing dunks (2K8)

I'm sorry I never had that issue but I'm not as neurotic and nitpicky as the average OSer.

Re: Teaser 4 is up!!!!

I never got why people complained about the hand not grabbing the rim. I mean, you cannot even see this type of stuff while playing at the normal camera view.

I do agree it should be fixed. However, it's not even visable during gameplay unless it's replays (which I always turn off anyways).

So you understand...

Comments like that can easily be construed in a completely unique way.

I don't understand it either but... c'est la vie.

I'm not as hot as the post makes it seem like. It's just that half of the looooong arguments around here start because 1 guy talks **** and people feel the need to ignore all of the sensible posts and address the ****head.

Re: the hand grabbing the rim

It's nothing. It does take me out of the game a little bit when I see it on a replay, but it's an acceptable flaw in videogaming. It is puzzling that they'd have it in the trailer. Sometimes the hands on the rim look good, but this was one of the bad examples. Again, all due respect to Mo, because I love your work.

Re: Teaser 4 is up!!!!

Oh I always understood. People just talk out of their rear-ends when it comes to "buying Live."

As much as I bash 2K (as yall call it); I know 2K has my heart and I am not going anywhere.

Re: Teaser 4 is up!!!!

The graphics on Rose look amazing. It's hard to draw anything about gameplay from these teasers, but I'm real excited for it to come out.

Some of you guys are really negative and "unimpressed". If that's the case, and you don't like the game you think 2K is going to put out then don't give them your $60. Or you could buy Live and enjoy terrible gameplay. Simple as that.

Case in point. There are like, two valid discussions about gameplay and a Sim lobby going on, and this dude is skipping all of that to call out the **** talkers. Great.

It's a trailer. Ok for what it was. Not changing my opnion at all.

These kind of dunks have been in 2K since I can remember and all of a sudden it's a problem and this game is not sim. I have to question if people who post here really have been playing this game over the years. It seems so many talk about this like it's something new to the series.

2 years ago Live was unplayable while 2k has gotten better each version. So if you want to switch games because Rose’s hands don’t touch the rim or he dunks over Wallace then go ahead. Jump on the bandwagon.

Does a company’s track record mean anything here? 2k deserves more respect. Dissing a game from a trailer, I guess.

Trailer are just that trailers. Gameplay is what matters most and 2k has been the better game the past few years. This year it looks like it will be a good battle between 2k and Live. Let the gameplay speak not a trailer.

just because a problem has existed before, that means we should accept the problem forever?

that's a dumb way of thinking. if a problem has existed for a long time, we should expect it to be fixed even more for the sake of improvement.
