LOL! Seems I hit a nerve enough to get a personal. I'm cool with that. Do me a favor and show me a post where troll ANYONE with a valid and respectfully posted criticism. I'll wait here...

Going around being a cheerleader and mocking customers that have complaints that you don't have doesn't mean you're right and they're wrong and doesn't help the situation.

The ONE thing I do consistently is challenge people to try to see every side of a point or issue. The other thing I do is tease hyperbolic posts. So, yeah, maybe I do mock some posters. But I'm pretty sure I don't make the points key points of the criticisms.

We are all NBA 2K fans and love this game but being a hardcore fanboy and antagonizing other customers who have valid complaints doesn't help the discussion and improve the situation. I'm relatively new to the boards but I've read about your reputation.

NICE! I have a rep. That's why I'm here. To be world famous on a message board. "VC is greedy, lazy, don't listen to their customers, and incompetent!". Those kinds of posts are "valid complaints"? It's CLEAR you have no clue what a "valid complaint" post looks like.

I don't even know what this thread is about anymore.

Every year they have X amount of months and are trying to get more in the games each year. So they are always looking to trim things

Let's all page through the horrible dialogue bits of MyCareer. Trim that, 2K.

Just the horrible bits though.

Honestly, YES. I will. Not because I don't think they're cool. But once I see them, I'll be done with them. Occasionally, I'd probably watch just to soak in the atmosphere. But, I won't say that would be often.

I fricking loved the game reel. It was meaningful after a good game. I even loved the still shots. Presentation has taken quite a few steps back since 2k11 in many areas. It was just about to exceed it again and then we get the biggest block of presentation and "show" removed.

I was completely sure the halftime show was going to be Ernie and Shaq. Isn't that a complete no brainer? I did NOT expect... Nothing. Nothing at all.

People will page through the new pre game intros and what not too. Same with highlights. Does that mean they get removed until we just have bare bones basketball? The halftime show was one of the most well done broadcast components of 2K. They could have at least left it in unaltered. And somehow Ernie and Shaq aren't in the halftime show when they're already in the game?

I think you missed the point of the Damon Bruce controversy, Sun. I agree that it would have been better to replace it with the Ernie and Shaq scenes, but I think having it on the "less skippable" loading segment is better for them.

But that wouldn't justify their removal. In fact I think I watch halftimes almost as regularly as pre games.

I want to believe that it's coming. We won't know until next year at the earliest.
