Duh.

I've been on os the last 3 iterations of this game. That's not the question. Question is, why do we care about this aspect? Instead of a single new feature as a selling point, I'd figure a way more informative and efficient way to hype your product would by displaying an array of improvements with either game play footage or actually talking about the product. This looks more of an advertisement for the nba than the game 2k is pawning of as its digital counterpart.

It really isn't, honestly. The game comes out in less than 4 months.

If this commercial got you ready to grab that $60 out of your pocket and ready to hand it to 2k, that's cool.

I'm not so easily convinced. I'm sorry i offended you.

Right. And if they're not going to fix 15 this commercial isn't helping me in any way to buy next years game.

Best part about that vid was MSG. Looks like they finally got the rights. About damn time.

We could possibly have MSG and no more New York Arena? That'd be a shock since I completely gave up hope on that lol.

Sounds like 'the single new feature' you are looking for.. is an improvement to the 'overall story & interactivity' of MyCareer mode.

That's a pretty good 'selling point'... especially if MyCareer is the 'most popular' mode of the game.


But if you don't play MyCareer mode much.... then I could see why it doesn't appeal to you.
