I got to admit that for the genre and the consoles standards, those faces looked amazing !

Ummm how do you get something that's about four days late early? That's like instead of 2K12 coming out October 4th they say the title will be delayed until the following week and then when it drops that next Monday saying guys shouldn't be upset because the game dropped early.

I wasnt expecting much from the Insight, the Art Insight from last year was nothing to write home about if I remember correctly..

I just figured they would release a trailer, since it "wouldnt make sense w/o it" per Ronnie...

meh, im over it....not a big deal...funny though

It's for a couple reasons. Namely, giving a certain date for a particular Insight to be released, then postponing that Insight because you want to release it with a trailer. To some, the Art Insight should have included anything detailing changes to jerseys, arenas, floors, player models, tattoos, possibly shoes/accessories, mascots, etc.
So since the Insight didn't give 20% of the information expected of an "Art Insight", with the addition of the delayed/implied trailer being excluded, when the main reason for the Insight being delayed WAS the trailer not being ready, it's a bit disappointing.

I'm sure it's not gonna stop any of us from buying it, but I think I speak for more than a few when I say it's a bit annoying.

Welcome to the 2K Marketing Experience! Just sit back, relax, and definitely try not to make sense of anything they do, or else you might start to get feelings of nausea and anger.

Loving the Fly Wade's.

Wade looks even more Wadey now.

Metta World Peace still needs a better face.
