Not saying that their entire marketing scheme has been towards the masses.

EVERY marketing scheme is targeted to the masses! Always have been and always will be. If you are winning a marketing department, do you think you succeed by targeting the smaller part of your base? It's a commercial. No commercial in history has ever targeted the OS type of audience. Seems disingenuous to single out the 2k marketing team in that regard. Not saying you are, because you're clearly not. Just saying for those that are.

My issue is some "simheads" feel the need to try to bash other gamers simply because we enjoy stuff like this, its appealing to some people this Mypark The Park or whatever it is, isn't just for little kids its for everyone. I'm 21 year olds and I enjoyed this hell we got grown men getting views off this stuff on youtube there is no age limit on this... Im sorry im not someone who doesn't sit here and play myleague or association because im a onliner gamer I love playing games online yes I enjoy myplayer a lot so if that makes me or anyone else less of a gamer or a "hardcore" gamer for 2k then so be it.

Wow. That was tough to read. But, I think I agree with you.

But it's still part of the game and the NBA didn't make them remove it. Life goes on.

Seems there was more to that commercial than people thought.

I don't understand what people are getting upset about. It's a TV spot. Something to tease an upcoming product. It wasn't made for people who play simulation basketball and multiple seasons. It's not something that's supposed to provide inside information about a game.
Take it for what it is instead.

Why are they dumb for not knowing what it is? Not everybody plays
that mode and knows what the appeal of it is. People are saying it has
something to do with the Park but it's an arena.

It appears the commercial created more confusion than anticipation
which I'm sure it wasn't intended to do but at least people are talking
about it. The games out in just over a week no more cryptic messages.

Stop giving us the lettuce and tomatoes and give us the meat

Yeah, it's a step in the right direction. Wondering if it's only 2v2 or can we get a 5v5. That'll be cool, but hopefully we have the full crew next year.
