Never heard of the guy. Watched a video where he played with some All-Euro team against MJ and friends. After a few minutes of spin dunks and lead passing I'm wondering if that's the target group 2k is aiming for once again. I mean this tool is the type of person you want to give a first look at 2k14? All he does is posting videos of him opening stupid MyTeam packs and sh*t...yeah he really knows what he's talking about. He's posting face cam vids of him playing MyTeam, now that's impressive...

So maybe more social media integration and focus on MyPlayer/MyTeam for 2k14? Man, I realy hope EA delivers...

Just because marketing is targeting a certain audience that doesn't tell us who the gameplay team was targeting. Certainly playability for all has to be considered if you want to move units but it's marketing's job to sell units.

If your only concern is game-play then almost nothing said before the last few weeks before game release (Since they seem to talk gameplay last) should really be of interest.

I mean it's not like we don't understand the situation. There is no perceived NEED to market to us. We seek out the information and are certain to make up our own minds to buy or not to buy based on what is important to us.

In fact if they did try to market to us we would probably reply simply by saying show us gameplay or a demo and then I will make my decision. So let marketing and youtubers do what they do.

And continue, as a community, to make smart, focused threads with the meat you want to see in your game.

I agree with this, business wise it's a very smart marketing tool I'm not mad at them for using, to get people to advertise your product to a lot of people for free really, and it's only july going into August where they really start to promote the game. So Team up is really like the beginning to 2k's promotional campaign.

In terms of gameplay,I can't really say it's going to more of the casual user I'll say you really don't need to practice and learn the game like in previous 2k's. While running plays and having multiple options is really a sim feature, even though broken plays still occur. I'm in wait and see mode, before I can say they're going towards the casual crowd, and I play the cpu hof sim so idk if that matters.

I do the same thing as far as on my commentary videos I say 'Hello World, this is another Lob Mob Video...' something I started out doing subconsciously... & subscribers & other member of The Lob Mob brought it to my attention but I think as long as it's organic then it's cool... but when it's all catch phasey that's when I'm not feeling it... I see where you're coming from though.
