Spend 5 bucks and rent the game.

How many years you been arguing this Aaron? 3?

Deja vu man I swear. Miss Warwick would be jealous of me right now.

Right now Live has that for sure and 2K's gotta show me something... normally that scenario was reversed in the past regardless of 2K's generally late (later than Live anyway) marketing and their penchant for trailers/teasers. Trailers and screenshots do nothing for that (squashing concerns about gameplay issues). Actually seeing and reading about the actual mechanics that went into revamped player movement for example is meaningful in a way that official teasers and screens aren't though... and that's what we've been getting from EA. It's very appreciated by me because it's making my decision much easier than it would be if we were looking just at apples-to-apples trailers from both companies, as has been the case in the past... the extra window EA has given has made me much more confident in their product. Okay, no more sidetrack. I just hate the argument jmood made there because it's taken at face value and I really don't think it's true.

I totally agree that the Dev's of Live are doing a great job of interacting with the fans, but unfortunately they seem to be the exception and not the rule. Live's Dev's have succesfully tried to show that their game has improved in many areas. We hardly know anything about 2K if it weren't for Chase's info. What I'm most anxious to know about 2K is whether the dribbling and ismotion have improved and in what way, whether we have more control and less animations "to look at" while performing a move. That seems to be a concern to alot of the fans, but we don't even know if that was a big concern to the 2K Dev's. But anyhow, the first true test will be when we can lay or hands on the demo.

Actually last year I was one of those, "Wow, look at that trailer! I'm getting this day one!" people like many in here. A little skepticism has helped my decision-making processes.

So thanks 2K, for making a game that pissed me off and I quit playing seriously 3 months after release last year so that I'd look at 2K10 with a more critical eye instead of just accepting that the game will be an improvement....

LOL I'll catch you guys online on release day.

Its just people who are impatient. Before october 6th, they will have all the insights, they wil have the demo, they will have gameplay from various websites. They will have everything they need to know before the game comes out. EVERYTHING they know from Live they will know about 2K.

Maybe 2K does it later and closer to the release date so all this stuff is fresh to them, not from 2-4 months ago.

The thing is what 2K is actually doing it working. Look at how many people moan and groan and in the end, they still end up buying the game. They lose absolutely nothing from forum posters doing it this way.

The teaser was ok. Similar somehow to the one showing Garnett's turn around jumper last year.
The ones with Paul Pierce and D-Rose were the best IMO.

LOL..I think 4. I just cut and paste my old arguments, edit the year and then add new comments.

Absolutely Stumble. Both games had a lot of issues last year.

Live is showing us step by step what they did to fix those

2k isn't

teasers show me nothing - I don't know if they fixed 2k9's issues based on some teasers..as a consumer I want to know..I know we are going to see 4 more teasers and some site leaks a gameplay vid meanwhile..why isn't it coming from 2k itself..I'm sincerely confused on this one.
