Why? It's the TRUTH. Just look at Madden. Same thing. No competition equals complacency.

I wonder what his rebounding will look like when he shifts back to the 2 when Granger gets back.

I agree. Passing, Rebounding, and Lockdown Defender would be the only things that I personally would change. I would expect his rebounding numbers to decrease, since he will have to "stay home" with the opposing SG. However, Stephenson is averaging 3.8 RPG while playing almost 10 minutes less than George, and Stephenson is no where near the capable rebounder like George is.

No...it's not the truth. When people make that comment, it gives the impression that 2K Sports has the blueprint to the "perfect" basketball locked away in a safe somewhere, and they're giving consumers a "taste" of that blueprint one year at a time. B.S. The developers work on hard on this game every year.

The only thing that a monopoly allows a company to do is experiment with new gameplay ideas without the fear of losing their market share. IMHO, if NBA Live was still around, I truly believe that 2K Sports would have continued to build off the NBA 2K11 engine instead of experimenting with all this stupid live ball physics and stick control. Of course, comparing NBA 2K12 and NBA 2K13 to NBA 2K11, I would have been perfectly fine with them deciding to build off NBA 2K11. However, if they learn how to combine the pros of NBA 2K11-NBA 2K13 before the next generation of consoles, then it WOULDN'T matter if there's competition, because the competition will have too much to catch up too.

I think Stephenson needs another boost. His first one was way too late in the first place. Dude is playing higher than a 60+ whatever player. Yeah and i know OVR dont mean jack.

If your looking for a job where you dont have to do any work than 2k sports is your company. Where you can release the same game for a whole console gen and make minor updates or change some things around like dribbling moves and call it a year. Would be nice is someone like Mark Cuban started making sport games. Someone with a passion and money that would be in it to make the best sports game ever made than to just try to make a buck. Just saying someone with alot of money that has a passion for sport video games like Cuban has for his Mavs. Its time for someone to step up and put these clowns at 2k sports and EA out of business. Sports gamers deserve better then this. Theres people out there that would spend 60hrs a week perfecting rosters and you could get a group of them together and they probably would do it for free.

It's so weird ... they can pick ANYBODY from this site to do the updates and we ALL would do a better job.

I would be on stat sites making sure every athlete playing big minutes in the game is playing like their real life counterparts. I would also make sure all the gear and equipment is spot on.

I don't think some of you realize how a development lifecycle works. After they released NBA2K13 they started working on NBA2K14, then some of the developers end up in support roles to fix critical issues that come up after release. I cannot emphasis the word critical enough.

I know some of you think a 2 point bump in player rating is critical, but from a business standpoint it is near the bottom of the list of priorities. Anything related to 2K13 at this point is going to be pushed behind whatever is going on with 2K14.

How about fixing freeze glitches or EVERYTHING that is bugged in MyCareer like Signature Skills!?
