LMFAO!!

The way its sounding now...I might not be too mad if the servers weren't up and running on day 1. The game just sounds that good.

I thoroughly enjoy how candid and honest the devs at 2K are. As a consumer it's refreshing to hear words like "Last year we felt like ____ simply didn't work very well" or "I honestly hated _____'s shot last year" or "After introducing ______ we really didn't improve on it until now that we....".

And even responding to the criticisms on this forum and making the changes in-game within days, your hard work and interaction with your customers/fans/skeptics is something honorable and unique in this age.

I would love to see more of this level of engagement and honesty from "other" gaming companies.

I have been asking for the scrapping of the LOCK-ON D ever since it was introduced, and with that, I say good riddance. It was just a way to mask all of the issues they had with the basic movements in the game with all of the sliding.

Now that they can finally get rid of it, tells me that they have enough confidence in the movement that they don't need to feed us some bogus CPU assist.

LMAO ! Stop with the Madden !

I like that they have different jumpers for P2, but if they butcher his face like they did last year (Ray Allen's too) that would be a problem.

SMH @ talking about exclusivity. And developers from both 2K & EA are on their respective boards giving out candid and honest interaction.

Wow, 2k justs gets it ..

That's all I have to say

Wow, this was like the control scheme of my dreams... a perfect fusion of old-school 2K (think 2K8) and NBA Live 10. Color me officially excited for this game... all the Jordan hype and whatever else did nothing for me, but these are massive "nuts and bolts" improvements that I've been asking for the last 5 years...

Good stuff, so glad to have Mike back on board with the rest of their crew... seems like they really did work this year, re-vamping almost everything. Loving the animaitons and the burst you get when coming hard out of a dribble move... Can't wait to light people up with Ty Lawson, Monta Ellis, and those types...
