Is this Celtics - Clippers Video all we get from official side? Last year there were a dozen official gameplay videos out and this year only one. Disappointing...and lame advertising

Gameplay videos have never been shown to drive sales.

^^^ i have to disagree. i think anything put out from 2k, is put out to drive sales. why wouldnt it be? i think they (like any business) will exploit any channel they can to make money.

have to say i disagree also, the video gameplay are important to us, with 2k not releasing like last year and etc, makes it seem to me their trying to hide something... but my one personal issue is that they won't/ haven't release any official trailers (control/ art) that were suppose to have been released last week and before, but ronnie2k keeps tweeting LAME pics of starting lineup, which to me are a waste of time (was cool when he first released one, but now its meaningless), would greatly prefer gameplay over pic tweets

I have a ton friends who don't keep an eye out for gameplay vids and they are guaranteed sales. Same friends that don't know that the game is out early in some areas (not gonna tell em!)

Gameplay videos may not drive sells but it WOULD be nice to see some more. I'd hate for them not driving sells being the ONLY reason why we get none at all...

DaWu · 09-26-2011, 10:25 AM

thats stupid of the people then. how can some marketing blabla drive more sales than actual gameplay footage? I do not watch any trailers. I wanna see what I get.

Nope, its not really a major marketing tool.

We need to understand that our community dont represent the majority. We are our own little niche who break down these gameplay vids to death.

Now that that is out of the way...

WTF man!? 1 week and we have ONE official vid....I dont ever remember there being this little gameplay wise this close to release. Def scratching my head.
