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 guess I'm different. I give articles written by people not affiliated with the company more weight than anything created or written by the company. Chase's article after seeing the game for 5 hours and Steve's Live demo article gave me more information that I care about than any blog by 2k or Live. Also, who cares about confidence when buying. If I'm not confident about a game...im not buying it. I'll wait to hear impressions or rent it.

ughh, how do you think them videos get out? Cuase 2K puts them out, it is from them, but they just put it on websites that will get more hits. Gamespot, IGN, Gametrailers are the places to go.

Don't really think there was enough in the trailer to get impressed about. The graphics appear to be nearly identical from last year (not necessarily a bad thing), but there are some graphical flaws that I'd hoped would get fixed (more jersey accuracy). The arena (especially court) is innacurate once again (especially the lighting). Way too dark of a court. I don't necessarily believe the court being dark has much to do with the video itself being a little dark and lacking resolution. I think the court is just too dark to begin with and SimBaller may be trying to cover 2K's tracks a little bit.

I'll wait to see some actual gameplay before I make any legitimate concessions on the overal look of the game, but this trailer did nothing to make me believe the developers made any considerable strides visual-wise from 2K9. I understand Chase's recent imformation about the game may suggest otherwise, but I'll just wait for actual gameplay footage to support his opinions.

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.

Don't waste the server space posting this. They know. They all know this is how it goes.

Every year, same song and dance. Nothing new.

You play the game, you make a decision. No marketing from any company should be "hyping" people up, but guys get caught up. Can't blame them. It's a slow news day too.

Ain't that the truth - like Groundhog's Day around here

I'm not the brightest man in the world but Stevie Wonder could see that was a travel. Kobe looks like crap but can't really base that off a vid. clip. This trailer didn't tease me at all. We will see what the demo is looking like.
