If we don't get another patch...Would a 2K16 boycott be justified?

Re: If we don't get another patch...Would a 2K16 boycott be justified?

But if this game is so terrible, why do people come on here and constantly post about how bad it is? Why not just go do something else with your life and spend that money on a nice dinner? It's a video game that you buy from somebody for entertainment purposes. That's all.

Nobody here is venting just because they like to vent, its because theres problems within the game(many) and a lot of people would like it to be fixed. To get it fixed, you have to go somewhere and post about the issues right? But no, instead whenever you post about the issues theres people who are going to say "Then dont buy the game" or "Dont tell me what to do" when 2k sees this, they are gonna think theres no reason to improve because no matter what we're always gonna have people buy the game. That EA Madden mindset, and youve seen the "advancements" EA has made the last ten years.

And obviously we're all here because we like basketball video games, duh. Some just want improvement...

And if you're gonna tout the game as the most sim experience, I want to see that type of improvement.

You don't "have" to play anything. There's this great thing called free will. You're free to choose to play Live if you want, WoW, Destiny, CoD, Pokemon, I could go on but you get the point. I didn't like the way Fifa did something so I played PES. I didn't like the way Battlefield did something so I played CoD.

See, this is the exact type of post Im talking about....

And I love how on the poll more people agree that 2k needs to improve, but nobody is posting it because they know what type of responses theyre gonna get

Yeah. Instead of expecting a good product...we should go else where. People expect greatness of NBA live as well. They are doing their best to LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY because happy consumers make shareholders happy. Smh

No, the poll says 2K shows "blatant disrespect to the fanbase". That is without a doubt 100% false. If that was the case you wouldn't ever see a patch, you would never see 2K giving VC refunds to those that bought shoes pre-shoe glitch, you wouldn't have any roster edits, shoe updates etc. Everyone agrees the game needs to improve, that's the whole freaking point of the wishlist threads, the glitch threads or anything like it.

Lol @ VC refunds. So I supposed we should accept that as the only other option would be outright taking your money. All business are due refunds of unsatisfactory product within a certain time frame. Smh.

Your definition of blatant disrespect is completely over what everyone elses is, I think not even considering community ideas and telling them to **** off(something Ronnie does consistently) is pretty blatantly disrespectful to the fanbase

Yeah. There are people like me that took a break from this game. They marketed it to be of a certain quality while making significant gameplay enhancements(also getting surprisingly great marks from OS...shocking) and people buy it because they want to play basketball games. They simply did not hold up their end of the bargain. Now, I've listed in-depth all the things wrong with this game. Things that have been echoed by patching from the company and still aren't fixed. All I've heard as a pro for the game is.........customization.

And what bargain is that?

They made a product, you bought it. It's your fault if you didn't do your homework on the product first--you could have waited a month or two, or borrowed it from a friend, or played the demo, or gone to a dang redbox and rented the game.

There's plenty of things to enjoy about the game: the freelance offenses Czar helped build, the depth of MyLeague, the effective modeling of floor spacing, the diversity of plays available, etc. But at the end of the day, this thing is literally a fancy toy, and not even an expensive one. Oh no...you spent $60 and didn't like it? How horrible.

There is no floor spacing. There are no real diversity of plays. You have screen plays that get shooters open, pick and roll, or post play. And it's all inverted variations of themselves.

Your condescending dickheaded tone is enough for me though ;-)

2K freaking hired Da_Czar to make their freelance offense. EA has never done anything close to that cool.

If you want to get things changed, do what's been proven to work: make a youtube page, illustrate the problem, and suggest better alternatives. Provide constructive input.

Coming on here, complaining and insulting anyone who disagrees with you won't get anything changed.

If we're talking about refunds, where were the refunds for all of the people that bought the All-Star Ruby packs the first hour they were out AND THERE WERE NO RUBIES IN THE PACKS. Ronnie and LD2K blatantly ignored those people bringing it up because none of them were Youtubers.

Uh oh.....it's only a $60 game mate. Apparently you shouldnt expect a certain level of quality. ;-)
