Great insight. I love the fact that Play-offs and finals will "feel" different than regualr season games.

I've been thinking about something alot of people have been asking; with all the things added this year, how could that be done on a 1 year dev-cycle? I have a theory

What if 2k has been working on these things for the last couple years?

Think about it. They could have been working on these additions, listening to all the feedback over the last few years, and programimng all of this without actually adding it into the game until it was all ready, while perhaps waiting for a golden moment, like say when Jordan would be on the cover, knowing this would give the game unprecedented exposure and invite a whole new demographic of players who perhaps had never tried their product. So when the time was right, they simply could add what they had been working on for years behind the scenes, polish it up, and drop a basketball video game effort of **** proportions

Just a theory

and a lot of unknowns (Association 2.0, Online 2.0 insights sill MIA)

The improvement 2k made in NBA 2k11 in 365 days (roughly) is astounding.

This makes me question every other game in existence. When a sequel to a game is made, often they tout 4-5 cool features...in one development cycle 2k made 15 INCREDIBLE features....they could have delayed 3-4 features and spread a few between cycles. (year 1 - Jordan mode) (Year 2 - My player Jordan...etc) This game should change the industry (sports and non-sports) forever...hell, this makes me question my own productivity in life haha - peace

This is what you get when you have a team that puts their heart and soul into a game, and listens to it's fan base. It's still early, but this could very well be the best basketball videogame ever made to date.

As long as nothing is broken or massively glitched.

...and they hit Association out of the ball park like all the other improvements I think we'll have the greatest sports game (not just basketball) of all time.

This is a huge step up from what was already a pretty solid game.
