Instead you have the live base not impressed with the 2k12 product, some of the 2k11 base not impressed with 2k12 and are keeping their options open. Ea has a great chance for a quicker turnaround and must have been saying to themselves we dodged a bullet. Instead of being on all pro football status they actually have a shot of gaining a lot of users back on board quicker then they anticipated.

The fact that you just called 2k12 barebones when it had more features and depth than just about any bball game ever made shows your post is full of unsubstantiated bias. 2k won the basketball war years ago. They're only competition (sales AND gameplay wise) is themselves and it's been that way for a while.

Game was stripped lol where should i begin... No lobbies, association had no real flex schedule, no slider adjustments, hardly any options, no lobbies for that mode either, no crew, etc, a quick matchmaking that took up to 4 minutes to get into a game. Just keep the topic on the 2k13 gameplay announcement. You obviously are not understanding the meaning of barebones.

Literally everything you mentioned was about the online which i could care less about. Even with all of the so called "missing" things the game had, it still wasn't barebones. You seriously don't know what that word means or you just like to exaggerate.

If you care less about it then why even quote my post. Had you paid attention to the discussion going on in this thread or remember the countless complaints of 2k12 being stripped of features and options it would not be that hard to figure out the barebones reference.

My bad, you DID mention online. Forgive my idiot moment. I'll leave quietly now.

Read through the comments regarding my comment -- good thoughts. But to keep the convo on topic I won't respond, to ensure the thread isn't derailed. Anyone can hit me up on AIM (jerzeyreign) and we can talk about it. I'm always up for a sports/video game chat.

Anyway, I really hope to see less canimations in this video. I mean, I hope one day we could get rid of them all but I just need baby steps. I'd also like to see less skating but I chalk that up to canimations being responsible for most of the skating that gets under my skin.

My dude 2K already has a mass following. It's a basketball videogame that sold five million copies and has been superior to it's competition for at least the life of this console generation. How in the hell is 2K NOT a juggernaut? You're crazy talking right now.
