I never fully understood the complaints about 2ks marketing.

CAN they do better? Absolutely. No argument here. Their marketing isn't a brilliant, flawless strategy.

However do they NEED better marketing? If they improved their strategy and released information weeks/months earlier would it really have that much of a positive influence and effect on sales or the overall view of the game? MAYBE for casual fans but I'm of the mind set that if people see something they like they'll want it regardless of when they receive that information.

I also think the WHAT is more important than the WHEN. Technically our first bit of information came months ago during playoffs when the Kobe edition was announced followed by the Paul George cover announcement. The WHEN aspect was plenty early, however the WHAT and content of info isn't much to get excited about.

What annoys me is that the majority of people on this board and site are likely buying the game regardless of when information is released. Do any of us honestly care about the marketing or do we just want official information as soon as possible? the timing of info wont cause anyone to skip the game but the content of info will. If the improvements sound great we will buy if there is a lack of improvement and updates we will consider skipping.

I think its hilarious how some come on here and get upset that people are upset at the way NBA2K is marketing the game. "MOst of the people complaining are going to buy the game anyway". Yeah, ya think? MOst of us have said so but no matter how much we complain about this they're still going to release the game every year. Yeah, yeah we know they have to appeal to the casual/new fan but that's to get them to buy the game. If you pay attention our issue is the very little info release then wanting to pushing the pre-order to the die hard fan. This goes on every year especially with social media. Funny thing is that the same people saying that they don't like coming on O.S. because all we do is complain are coming on here hoping and looking for the same info we are and upset by what they see. This is the "I hope they", "I wonder if", "They better or better not...... or I'm not buying this year", "When are we gonna see", "Ronnie & LD2K are the devil" time of year. LOL

"Man stop caping(word of the month on OS)for those people. You sound like everyone else"

Hope they plan on updating my man Skilpatrick before the season starts. That looks like nothing like him at all.

That's what I'm afraid of, and that was the reason why I stopped going to the original 2K Sports forum. Ronnie 2K used to post their quite frequently, then it started become a place where people b*tch and complain about some of the dumbest things and ALL THE TIME.

This forum feels like it's heading in that same direction. Personally, I LOVE the fact that devs do interact and get feedback from the community.

Well, if people have issues down to the color of the gum Jordan chews....that's cool....If people hate everything about 2k's marketing, that's cool. That stuff has always gone on.

I meant more disrespecting them directly....used to not be something we did...I just wouldn't want it to have an effect on everything else. Some of us that were here a couple years ago already saw this happen in another forum...and it could have been avoided. We'll see though.
