NBA 2K15 - We Got Next TV Spot

[royalstatus]

Some people are complaining waaay too much especially for something like this which is marketing. I personally like 2k's marketing because they leave a lot of hints and clues subliminally sort of like a rapper does with their bars. I mean this commercial should basically confirm that you'll be able to play in arenas...this isn't the first clue. Look at the cover shot...It has the parks in the foreground with the arena in the background and it seems as though they wanted to emphasize the arena with how the lights are shining out of it. This commercial basically confirms what they've been showing on the cover. Maybe you can use myplayers and then intertwine real NBA players...maybe there is some kind of progression from the blacktops into the arenas...I don't know. You can tell that your myplayers will be able to compete in arenas and that there will be some kind of customized jerseys/logos (Durant's top + the end of Momentus trailer). But I don't think people need to panic and jump to assumptions/rants based on something like this.

I dont get the big deal about playing with your MyPlayer in an area with refs. Might as well just play online with regular teams.

People aren't seeing the biggest thing here. We just witnessed The Secret of The Ooze in that trailer. Tokka and Rahzar live. They were just trying to figure out who to call mama. 2K is really TGRI

Oh 2k, you are such a tease. Like it love it or hate it, their marketing strategy has everyone talking, so props to them for that. I really would like to be excited after seeing the commercial, but I don't want to get my hopes up either. I will reserve my judgement about crew/park mode until we have the 100% full picture this year.

Think of it like real life where you and your 4 friends go up against another group of friends. It gets competitive and intense. Having it in a arena with refs cuts down on steal spamming and gives you the atmosphere of being in bunch of tons of fans.

The fact that you need a demo after 2K turning the corner with 2K11, SMH. You don't need a demo from 2K, the gameplay is great every year. Now with LIVE, yea there should be a demo.

You don't have to play the mode to know the reference.

It appears the commercial created more confusion than anticipation which I'm sure it wasn't intended to do but at least people are talking about it. The games out in just over a week no more cryptic messages.

If people don't know the reference, then they never will. It will continue to be cryptic. With that said, you can still see the basic message of you being able to play against the pros. That's a common message of video games.

You've never gotten meat from commercials! That's a silly expectation.
