Is it just me or is this one of their crappier faces?

I'm with you man. I was watching the live streams yesterday and i was thinking to myself "what do I expect to see that will get me anymore excited for the game?" I actually started to get less interested because after a while there a sense of "its just another 2k game."

After watching some leaked gameplay and playing the prelude I feel like I've seen all I need to see.

The Knicks jersey never been the right shade of blue on 2k for almost a decade now. I just don't think the art team is good with the color blue smh.

Saturday through Friday: That number will drop as people will dig into the game and the backlash will appear. 2 weeks from now: The backlash to the backlash will occur and the forums will level off.

And this people, is why you should avoid parts of OS until next 2K pre-release as soon as you get the game haha.

Or you'll only play it for 1 week (pretty much happened for me and 2K13).

Its clear from the vids that the game is improved but it doesnt jump out at you as being SIGNIFICANTLY different than past years. Thats the cost of consistently putting out a good game. The ceiling keeps getting raised.

True but like I stated before OS isnt the only audience some of this stuff was made for...i'm sure later on today when my nephew gets home from school he's gonna text me in excitement asking me have I seen the new 2k trailer lol...I just see it in a different light cause it reminds me of when I was a kid and a new game was coming out ...yup i've seen more exciting trailers from MO but its not THAT BAD...I think folks are just ready to get their hands on the game lol

Lmao nailed it man. There is an endless cycle with this game that happens every year and those of us that have been here long enough are use to it.

There's the late july/august complaints of "where is the info? Why is 2k taking so long? This is just going to be a glorified roster update, nba 2k16.5."
The first big official news drop comes and people go crazy (mikes gameplay blog for example). "Omg 2k went all out this year! Look at all those improvements! I'm sorry for doubting you."
There are the prerelease complaints and concerns mixed in there and then we reach release date.

I always end up retreating from the boards shortly after release date because the impressions go from one extreme to the other. Impressions will go from "this is by far the best basketball sim of all time!" To "omg 2k this game is broken! They completely dropped the ball this year! Biggest flop ever!"
