There's nothing wrong with that. It would be foolish not to take something you see as positive from the competition, and try to somehow incorporate it into your own product. It is also foolish to believe that everything Wang saw at EA wasn't shared with the 2k crew.

As Phil Jackson would say "Give them(the competition) some (expletive) credit."

Mods: Sorry in advance. I will stay on topic from now on.

The guys at 2k actually did mention reworking the dribble system soon after 2k10 was released. Which means they were probably talking about it before wang got there. which means it has nothing to do with ea's product.

There is nothing wrong with that BNGF. I'm just saying I know that they didn't just decide to redesign their dribbling system when Wang signed on or after Elite announced their intentions. They were already looking at potentially addressing their dribbling system immediately after they finished development of 2k10 as that is eluded to in an article I posted at OS some time ago. This was in the EARLY development cycle for 2k11.

When a teacher asks a question where only one student raises their hand to respond , that doesn't automatically mean the rest of the class doesn't know the answer. You are assuming just because Elite responded in public 1st that 2k is simply copying or reacting. I don't think that is the case.

Mean you know disrespect.

I love how the same thing happens on this forum every single year.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Yeah, 2K is known for being a lesser. Less gimmicks and crap, unlike...
