That would be a waste of a golden opportunity.

On so many levels

Yay, 2K8-ish controls. They never should've changed it to the two-trigger BS.

the control on 2k , and the play sets/speeds are what I'm most interested in.

If i cant control my player again and have no clue as to what move im doing or whats going to happen then im not even going to waste my time with the game.

Mike Wang helped get that together) AND fix the animation system by doing what Fifa does, they will get my dollars this year. Elite 11 has me excited, as well, but 2K sounds like they are getting off their duffs, as well, and realizing that just presentation, animations and graphics doesn't make gameplay any better.

I'm excited that the talk from 2k this year seems to be about core gameplay. As cool as Draft Combine and My Player mode was/is... I felt that gameplay itself was sort of neglected last year. This year sounds very promising, it seems like 2k feels a bit of urgency to improve their game, instead of just polishing the presentation.

I would have gladly paid $60 bucks for a roster update to 2k8 instead of the last two versions of the game.

Being able to play ranked games online at the hall of fame level and the 2k8 online lobby would have made it worth it.

Totally agree.

This is what competition does to you, it gives you an increased urgency to improve the weak areas of the game, unlike madden who continues to runaway from their main problems

I hope iso motion isnt completley changed.I hope it stays the way it is as far as the way you perform moves but just a big improvement as far as response.I love my shot stick and hate Lives dribble system.I think 2k knows what their doin and for the most part it sounds like their on the right track.Cant wait
