Regarding the trailer, I liked it. I think the feeling most people have is been there done that.

They've seen Momentous trailers before. He's been doing them for 5 (?) plus years officially for 2k. 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.

These momentus trailers lately have been meh, i still think 2k11 and 12 have the best trailers.

I was planning on leaving these parts when the game actually dropped....but I thought maybe things would be a little better this time with the clean up....probably fooling myself still hanging on to those golden 2k forum years, lol

I'm hopeful that the 2K team will hear the concerns regarding the body types at least. Maybe even update them via a patch. Like I said, I'm hopeful.

That was...... Glorious

naaah no bad run ins here, im not an arguer. im cool with 2 ppl disagreeing and moving on - but i did always think it was funny we had similar names.

i havent been on OS as long as you (16yrs? going for that pension!!) , but i was a lurker for YEARS before i starting posting.

1 of only 2 gaming forums i belong too! love this place, good, great, bad and ugly

OT - i think we're all a bit spoiled that these trailers dont do as much anymore. we know what 2k will look like because of the prelude - now we all just wanna dig into whatever modes we wanna play. just my take

That trailer was bonkers. With that being said I think most of us are like been there done that. Nothing really stood out too much. I did like the ring ceremony portion at the beginning but overall it just seems like something is missing this year. I was hoping to see different crowd lighting. Especially at the staples center. Oh well. Regardless I'm still getting it on Friday.

Hard to compare any trailer to that 2k14 one because the graphical leap was awe inspiring. I remember watching the 2k14 trailers over and over and over again because I was so impressed. They could have released a trailer comprised screenshots that year and people still would have been blown away.

I do agree on arena lighting. I'm hoping there is no hesitation from the 2k art team to release a patch addressing visual fixes (body types, jersey colors, court colors, arena lighting, etc). I have no doubt the game will be great but improvements in the areas could make the product that much better.

The trailer was good but I would of preferred more "sizzle". I would of preferred to see some ankles getting broke, new dunk, size up, defense and lay up animations.

My favs are the 2k11 trailer that ended with the MJ rocking the cradle dunk and the Victory Trailer...

Usually 2k trailers get me hype for the game but huge Eh, for next gen I'm not sure how they progression backwards instead of forward.

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).

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!"

Tough to judge if he's just making a dumb face or if the face is dumb.
