Amen.

Also, GREAT ARTICLE!! I feel you man.

Lol, some of the issues you mention are as apparent in other brand sport games. Write a novel about that too.

Anyhow, Lag is always poo-poo though. But what teams players pick is human error, and 5 on 5 is like BAP in NHL09, buggy and unfullfilling.

Percentages and unrealistic stats is a problem of all virtual sport games, mainly because of cheese and loopholes used by the players...

So 2K, I ask you, if sexual predators can be archived and branded for the benefit of our real-life communities, why can’t we do the same to cheesers who ruin the well-being of NBA 2K9’s online community by exploiting the game in a similarly perverse manner?

Cheesers are rats, but this analogy is immensely inappropriate.

Online should have a team ladder system, you start with the bottom tier teams, you have to win 2-3 games with each team in a bracket and move up to the next tier, so you don't get to use the top teams until you've used all the other ones. I hate all sports games online, because so many clowns jock the top teams, I use the Jets, Knicks and Notre Dame online, not exactly powerhouses. I've used these same teams for my 8 year online life. Yet I've always faced the best teams online. We're all Men Online, most of the time, so why so many act like Girls? Go to madden lobby east 1 and count how many people are using Dallas....what a joke. Copy Cats and Cheesers, I'd rather get pwned by Silenced Skorpion with Stopping Power...much better to die in COD4 than waste 40 mins against some moron in a 2-3 Zone with the Rockets, with Tmac at PG, and Artest at SG.
