Re: Who is the target audience now?
It's the vocal minority vs. the silent majority. 2K will see thousands of posts telling them to do the opposite of what they are doing, while their data-mining and metrics show that the silent majority are playing the game in a very different way than you are. An MLB The Show developer posted some statistics showing something like that, but I don't remember what it was about specifically.
It reminds me of the recent push for more female leads in video games. Once again, a vocal minority demanding loudly, and the metrics in a game like Mass Effect 3 show that only 18% of players choose the female lead.
I'm not saying one side is right or wrong, but that seems to be the way things go most of the time. I enjoy the game for what it is.Comment

Re: Who is the target audience now?
Honestly, I skipped Next-Gen 2K this year and bought Last-Gen 2K14 on release day. I didn't expect a simulation basketball game coming from a first year 2K title on the PS4/Xbox One. I'm very glad I bought it. I have all the modes(Association, Practice) and features(create-a-player, create-a-team)that I know and love. Until 2K brings back Association, Creation Features(CAP, CAT), 2K11-style crew, less scripted MyCareer, and the sim ball I used to know from them, bigger and better than ever, I don't think I'll be buying 2K15 Next-Gen.BLACK MAMBA

Re: Who is the target audience now?
Wishlist threads get stickied all the time though. Doesnt mean they add everything people want. Be more specific. Im actually curious about what they added to 2k14 next gen that people demanded. I can't really think of anything.Comment

Re: Who is the target audience now?
Lol, I didn't say everything...if that were the case, half these threads wouldn't exist...I'm just telling you where to to find what you were asking about. You can look at Belubas recent posts and find a lot of good dialogue Sundown and the rest of us had in the controls thread.. Take a look.Comment

Re: Who is the target audience now?
It's very sad to see where 2K has gone. I agree with the OP on the whole Pokemon thing. It seems the game is tailored to the kids that don't really care how the game is played, they would be happy playing with a team full of superstars and run around trying to dunk all game...Comment

To me it wasn't worth of the money even more than next gen.Comment

The casual gamers won't care about them as long as 2k will give them turbo, dunk and steal buttonsComment
