I feel like the stealing is way too overpowered

I enjoyed the Greatest Mode last year, so just having the teams is kind of light on content in a way. The idea of the Lakers without Kareem is just ridiculous. Yes, he can be created, but its just not the same. I already had the Sacremento/Golden State teams and there were some great quality 76ers available for DL in 2K share. I like additions, not subtractions.

You are right, none of those things are a dealbreaker, but after playing the Demo, Im just not sure its really that much of an upgrade as a full game. It feels like way more went into making the menus and overlays shiny than went into Gameplay. Using the stick for dribble moves was already halfway there using controller setting Alternate B.

Im just feeling much more skeptical of this game than in years past. Perhaps my Gamefly rental time will sway me to buy it, but I think Im going to wait it out a bit.

It's nice having all the legendary teams unlocked from the get go but it would've been better if we have the option in exhibition games for old school rules and different filtered looks (b&w games and 70's era look)

Fair enough man. I enjoyed the demo... but the full game is just THAT much better.

I applaud you for making an educated/informed decision. What people do is purchase the game sight/unseen then head on the forums and complain away. Nice to see some don't feel the need to do that and I was simply curious as to why you felt the way you did.

If only the entire forum could be this pleasant during exchanges!

Cool - I was looking for someone but didn't know who to look for.

Anyone on the celeb team is fair game. So may see Vinny fist pumping after a made basket...

Im definitely still trying it out. Gamefly will ship my copy on Monday, so I will have it on launch day. Im still interested, but my optimism switch is apparently broken this year...lol.

The good thing is that if I like it, I can keep it from Gamefly for around $45.
