Fair enough.

but I knew everything about this game months before release. They didn't lie. It was up to the consumer to decide if this was a good buy.

Um they did release a full game. You make it seem like it was a demo. LOL! Who says that every football game that comes out has to have the same features, modes or mini games?

um, the people who aren't buying this game. This game only included a laughable season mode and focuses for online play. The main responses to this is that we all knew about this and that they only had a year to make it. EA got criticized for lacking features when they moved to next gen, 2k should as well. Even without a license, they could have done more with their fake league. Even blitz found a way to do more, and they sold more games for it.

This game is for the hardcore 2k fans who are willing to overlook things, as it's not even as polished as other 2k games out right now. I bought it on the first day and play it daily, however the honeymoon will end eventually.

tons of people didn't but 2k football before APF. I know Madden guys that wouldn't touch NCAA with 10 foot pole. I agree EA took heat for leaving out features and APF has taken heat also for leaving out features.

Devils Advocate------Doesn't it make business sense to leave features out of the game?
