It's almost as if the world would end if they stopped complaining.

2k doesn't put out video, forum guys complain, video is released, forum guys complain, game is released, forum guys complain and demand a patch....

Wash, rinse, repeat.

You act like asking for video is a bad thing. Over the years it's been:

2K doesn't put out a video, forum guys complain, 2K doesn't release a video, forum guys complain, 2K releases video, forum guys praise, 2K releases game, forum complains about glitches and faults in the game.

But yet the other guys release videos and people find problems and then the creators answer back and fixes problems people have issues with. I mean we can't just sit and say "They'll do a good job, I trust them" because they haven't. What NBA 2K game have we played since 06 that we said "THAT WAS A GOOD GAME! That was worth the wait."? We need imput so we can give feedback. If we are loyal paying customers, we need to atleast know what the product looks like before we buy it. All we ask if for a little video just to see if they even took a step in the right direction. We're gonna complain ANYWAY. What's the difference between seeing video and not seeing video? Because when I comes down to it, not seeing video isn't helping anything.

LOL Not even close. Everyone gets their microscopes out, freeze frames the video and saves pictures. They dissect and complain.

This has been the case since I joined way back in '03.

LOL not really. I seen people praise that video of last year with Kobe Bryant giving that interview the Japanese news station and everybody was like "OHHH WOW IT'S LOOKS GOOD I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT" and I was the like one of the only ones that was like "you don't see that sliding going on"? LOL. But even though they have to dissect it, they atleast can get a idea of how bad the game might be that way 2K knows what to fix. EA's over on the other side doing that right now as we speak.

It wouldn't be OS if somebody on here didn't complain about something. People could have 10 videos a day on here and I guarantee somebody on here will complain and say well where is the demo ? I want the demo.

Then demo comes out, why the demo only 5 minutes ? Why only 2 teams on the demo ? Heck even on the NCAA 11 football demo, they had several teams on there and you had people complaining that their favorite school wasn't playable.

2k has been doing this for years regarding the release of info LawLess. I've learned they are not going to change. They release info when they are ready. I applaud EA for releasing info but I wouldn't hold anything against them if they wanted to wait longer before showing their product when it's in a more finished state. Some people were killing that Elite video of an obviously old build.

Unfortunately EA is in a position they aren't used to (2nd place for the last few years) and they have to inspire some consumers to take a look at their product much harder than 2k imo. The contender always has to work harder than the decorated champ if they eventually want the title. That's what EA is doing right now. The fight is in October though and not June.

You should probably head back over to the Elite forum, where they have the good sense to listen to your sage advice, unlike these clueless mooks at 2K who have the unmitigated gall to gather intel using a slightly different methodology.

What is 2K thinking.
