Re: Official: Get Rasheed in The Game Thread!

well..not with everyone of course..lol. just a little transparency would be nice..but since yeah, I can see how fans could be like that

Just to be clear this was like 75% of the posters saying this type of ****.

Re: Official: Get Rasheed in The Game Thread!

I don't even care for the pistons (not saying they weren't good) but it's more the principle. they didn't lie and say he would be in there, but I am sure they knew fans would be expecting that. So, it's not like they were being dishonest..just a little sneaky. I wish they would have addressed it, since I am sure they knew this was coming.

maybe just a...hey guys, we tried. sorry would have gone a long way with smoothing over some of the backlash. I am sure they know that we know they tried, but just being a little more in touch with the fan base could have helped. kind of like a sign of integrity, or just being forthcoming. I don't know the exact word I am looking for, it's escaping my mind. (humble, owning up..I don't know)

Being this upfront about it does nothing, believe me. There will always be complainers, there will always be people who act entitled about their games, claiming that if the game is not exactly to their own personal specifications, then they will boycott, etc.

I understand why people are mad...

A 2000's blazers squad without sheed isnt as appealing as an 03 nets squad with Kidd and RJ

Speak for yourselves

This comes with the territory....I knew from the jump there would be omissions....but I'm not with scrapping the whole idea of classic teams because of it....

You have 7 full days to cancel your preorder or not buy the game....nothing bait and switch about it unless you willingly take it

The most dishonest part about this post is that 2K STILL hasn't acknowledged it. It was leaked. 99.9% of pre order customers will have no idea Sheed isn't in the game at the time of purchase. This isn't just about me or the people here.

Oh, I knew it was coming too.

However, we are sitting here essentially saying that we expect 2k to not be truthful with some of the things they advertise.

I fully expect servers to be terrible as well lol.

Re: Official: Get Rasheed in The Game Thread!

Its more than just the players that get added. We get the jerseys, the court, heck maybe even John Mason yelling "DEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL". None of that would be included if the players were added individually.

LOL @ this. If this were true they would have mentioned it by now.

And no, no one will care if Freaking Darko is on the floor.

We're getting into fanboy defense territory now. If they had the 04 Pistons with 12 CAPs you'd still be defending it.

Here's my question for you. Even if I agreed with your argument, they're promoting MICHAEL JORDAN. Who is actually in the game.

So, if someone sees Michael Jordan on the cover, and says, "omg I love mj, I wanna play with him!"

Seeing him on the cover tells that fan he can play with MICHAEL JORDAN, because that's who 2K is advertising.

And Michael Jordan looks poop. It's the same throw in model from two installments ago. In an 80 dollar edition of the game featuring Michael Jordan.

So yes, they are kind of promoting classics that they're not putting any effort into, giving you mediocre content you already had.

Kind of not cool.

and 98% of those people won't be as crushed as some here are (or putting on to be) that Sheed is missing...

and I knew you'd be here to latch on to this type of thread...

Show me where they advertised Sheed and I'll exit stage left though, because I might have missed it...

I imagine a very large chunk of fans in Michigan buying the game will be. Possibly also some in Oregon.

Yea that's the 1% off the 99% that pre-ordered.

Re: Official: Get Rasheed in The Game Thread!

So my question is instead of venting here why not take to social media and @ rasheed and ask him to get in the game?

Because 98% of those people don't care that much about having that team in the first place. So who is the team being marketed to? People who do care about Rasheed.

That said, 2K probably thought they could get him in at some point. It's better than nothing even though it's kind of lame team with that omission.

Re: Official: Get Rasheed in The Game Thread!

I have a solution: Why don't 2k just take away all the classic teams and just dump the players in a free agent pile. Bring back create a team and put all the classic logos, stadiums, uniform on the disc so we can create out own classic team. What this does is take away the disappointment when they add a team but someone like Shawn Bradley isn't on there. Also it wouldn't be any generic players on the classic teams which you can then delete out the game for more CAP space. Imagine the excitement of them announcing players instead of teams? That way you know exactly what you're getting and not get disappointed if they add a team like the 03 mavericks and Shawn Bradley isn't in the game (please tell me he's in this year)
