NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Remember this bonfire thread will be the last

Mods aren't oblivious to anything. Some people hang themselves

When info does come so does the hammer

That's good to know. I mean they've been derailing threads for about a week or so now and nobody seemed to put it together or call them out on it. But it's good to know I'm wrong about my assumption. Appearances can be deceiving I suppose.

So... back to video games.

I watched again to see the ball tracking but only noticed one guy in the corner who seemed to suggest that was happening. The rest of the crowd barely reacted to what seemed like a big shot. Or at least they didn't react to the level I would expect.

I really hope the crowd noise has improved this year. It would be cool if each arena was different, we all know some fans are louder than others. I really want to feel the roar when playing on the road against OKC, GSW etc.

Might be asking for too much at this point though.

Mannnn this thread is a mess. Don't give the people some significant gameplay to analyze and everyone becomes barbaric.

OK, can we stop acting as if this fans reacting to just one lackluster trailer? People are talking about trends from 2k that has become increasingly prevalent for the last three or four years. Even I mentioned it was either 2k12 or 2k13 when they started releasing minimal gameplay info or media. And there are people seeing through this and voicing their displeasure.

I hate that I can tell that the next line of defense for this marketing tactic is people going, "Stop being so entitled. 2K doesn't need to release gameplay vids or info to you. Just buy it or don't."

I still believe those community hires are pr moves, they can do what 2k allows

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Why is everyone bent out of shape about the lack of gameplay footage. 2K does this literally every year.

They give us very little to no footage/information of the game till about 2-3 weeks before launch.

haha. i know. people get so panicked when they don't get gameplay footage and think 2k is trying to "hide" the game. haha. 2k never lets us down. every year people freak out and think 2k is trying to hide footage because the the game is flawed in some way - then they release footage and it looks great as usual.

nba 2k is not going to drastically change from year to to year - that's how they've built such a great game over time - slow incremental improvements...removing the things that don't work and improving the things that do work. it's a simple concept, but a lot of companies struggle to grasp that concept - they make too many drastic changes and end up breaking the game rather than improving it.

I hope spike lee doesn't narrate mycareer, he has one annoying voice. Where's morgan "God" freeman when you need him?

Re: NBA 2K16 Digital Short - Stephen Curry: Beyond the Shadows

Imagine if 2K came out today and released all the information on the game plus gameplay. That would leave 6 weeks and 3 days of an agonizing wait til release.

As much as I really want to see stuff or even read about the modes, I take comfort knowing there's much time left. If it was September 24th with no info, the yea pre-order cancelled loool.

I wasn't following 2k back then but i would say no, the newer guys they hire are only to appease, like bedsworthy i'm not doubting him but you mean to tell me 2k had no idea how to make rosters somewhat like him? C'mon dude y'all drink the 2k kool aid too much at times

I can't speak for everyone. If 2k16 plays like 2k15 after patch 4. I'll stick to Madden this year. If you keep accepting the "this is what 2k does" theory they'll keep doing it. If a company can ask consumers to pre order, It would seem fair to see more than 7 seconds of gameplay for the game your buying.

He was at High Voltage w Inside Drive and posted on here. If I look hard enough, I could probably find me 3-4 page dissertations that I sent him post release of each Inside Drive. Lol. He's always listened to the community.

As someone who plays a wide variety of video games I'm well aware of this, and I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see something, particularly by this time.

Heck I check facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube and here pretty much every day hoping some info came out, and I do get a little annoyed when I see nothing.

However my point is that SOME people need to relax a little as in my opinion, it's really not even that deep.

Wow man the disrespect on these boards is at an all time high.


I look at it as 2K invested in $ to take their game to a next level. They basically have the same thing in common passionate basketball junkies with either some programing skills mods etc, basketball experience or actual video game making. Think about it some more so 2K hired LeftOs, Czar, Scott OG, Bedz, etc. to appease the Sim crowd which is a gnat to their sales... sounds logical lol

No doubt. It's just a game. But 2k can also do better than #OMG #Staytuned. #BreakingtheInternet And then show a jumpshot.
