I remember being a 17 year old kid. Young. Jubilant. Competitive. Passionate. Skilled.


I just moved into my dorm room for my freshman year at East Carolina University. My first order of business (once I finally got my crying family out of there) was to set my PS3 up, and fire up my copy of NBA 2k10.

Has been stagnant for years now.

Its the same old crap, that we buy year after year. Animations that don't make sense..Online exploits...Game freezes...And canned sequences that literally slide players out of the way in order to happen. 2k seems to never fix these issues, they just hide them behind new features that become extremely stale, like the shoe creator and Social Media.
