Well, because you will turn into EA and become hated amongst gamers and lose fans for a year or two. 2K went from a really grateful company in terms of appreciating their customers and listening to them to a company (much like EA) where the 'minimum effort, maximum profit' slogan meant more to them than their customers.

Nothing at all to do with the trailer.

Let's get back to the topic. Thanks.

These companies want to make money. Why would they lose out on 1.5 to 2.5 million copies x 60 bucks a year? thats no way to run a sports video gaming company. If they did that, we wouldnt have anymore 2K. I know for a darn fact we dont want this to go the route of Ea and their football. You wanna talk about stale and everything broken in that game.

God forbid we go down that route in basketball. Football and to a lesser extent baseball fans are hurting.

Again, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRAILER.

Quit the off-topic posting fellas.

What? Wow. LOL...anyway the trailer was great for marketing the game. Kobe is hot right now and showing a teaser of his sig shot was smart. That shot is a cool addition to the game.

Not really into Kanye's newer stuff myself but this teaser was pretty decent overall.
