Here is what I dont get: What is the ****ing rush? We have 7 weeks before the game comes out and 2k has only released one piece of gameplay info related to the game. We all know more info is coming so why all the posts about how people are done with the game and how disappointed people are?

If in 7 weeks, 2k disappoints with the info they have provided or if the game looks like crap in videos...people should feel free to complain about the game and talk about how they arent going to save their money. But why do people feel the need to count out the game when we are 7 weeks away from release.

Again, what is going to generate more buzz and headlines... announcing real time physics or announcing one of the most famous rappers in the world/ part owner of an NBA franchise is helping? You guys are thinking from the mindset of a hardcore gamer. That's stuff they can announce later but won't generate many headlines outside of hardcore gamers.

As i type this a Jay Z Budweiser commercial is playing

Seriously though man, I'm honestly sick of hearing about real time physics. How many people that are casual gamers actually know what RTP do in order to make that a huge announcement?

You guys that were looking for some major gameplay change need to understand this is the beginning of the hype train. Having Jay Z signed on is going to generate publicity and interest. The gameplay announces will come but to a casual person those aren't what's going to generate buzz.

Well said. Happy to see 2K take good steps forward and continue to reinvent their series. I'm positive more good news will follow.
