Why I'm Done With NBA Basketball This Year: NBA 2K9

Re: your spurs comment...no you shouldnt be "forced" to do anything, but you shouldnt have continued succcses if you chose to play that way...spurs are old, they would get tired way quick playing uptempo, and it would show on the defensive end, which would inevitably lead to more losses.

Agreed 800%

You create a billion threads on this board complaining about one thing or another (sometimes looking for stuff to complain about, like the free throw all nets thread), yet all it takes is for you to hear the right thing from a Live developer and you'll quietly wait to see what comes of it. Okay. I guess this whole perfectionist thing you have going has a little more behind it.

Somehow I get the feeling that even if there were a dev or two here telling the handful of you guys that need to be given some sense of consolation what you [supposedly] want to hear, it wouldn't be enough. And no, I'm not trying to "shut anyone up" - it's just tiring to read over and over, six months after the game released. Knock yourselves out complaining. Some of it's actually entertaining, like when behindshadows put a video up asking for comments, got negative feedback on his style of play (although of course, it's the game's fault!), so deleted everything. And is still in other forums talking about how the game sucks. The game's too arcade! All the teams play the same! Free throws are all net! I've learned as much about Live in the 2K forum as I've learned in visiting Live's own forum. Yep, I visit, but haven't posted there. Fortunately I don't have some burning need to tear the game down. Guess that's because I'm enjoying the one I am playing

The importance is they are TELLING us where the series is going. That is refreshing. i WISH I could know where the 2K Series is going.

Let us just not communicate when it comes to bashing vs defending the game because it is getting old. I throw in the towel man because you seem to go out of your way to defend this title at any costs. You win man. I am done with it.

spank,

you are way too sensitive man, nobody is tearing the game down, ive repeadtly(sp?) stated the game is fine, its just that im looking for a more simulation based game not arcade.

its fun in limited doses (vs the computer) for what it is though..but the things that DC and I bring up would make it more simulation like (if thats the way they choose to go in the future)

It's not "complaining"...its asking.

are you honestly saying the things being brought up wouldnt make the game better?...are we both really that out of line?...are we lying?

I enjoy the game too sometimes, but I persoanlly want it to be more based in reality,strategic, simulation based... so im asking for that...

I have not bashed the game or said it sucked, since my post back when the game came out and iw as really frustrated and angry because my expectations were high...

I dont really get where you are coming from...but i will respect your desire to stay loyal to the cause though, and debate like this is always healthy and fun.

Let's be honest here... on a sports gaming site full of players that call themselves sim... do you expect any developer to ever tell you otherwise?

People are being told what they want to hear... I wouldn't expect anything less from ANY developer.

No one in their right mind would tell you otherwise.

They could have ignored the issue completely like 2K is doing. If I were to ask one of them the same question, I doubt I would be told "what I want to hear."

That's what I said. You want to be told [something] so you'll feel better.

How am I going out of my way anymore than you are? It's okay if everyone's spreading the negative love around, but if someone says something to counter it that's an issue? I wouldn't want to see this forum become a praise board like some forums have become. But it shoudn't be so overwhelmingly negative because of the same handful of people either imo.
