LOL. Most of the video game world doesn't care, but with regards to the hardcore sports gamer crowd, 2k is crazy, lmao. The other guys have a demo out, and you have your fans completely in the dark with only a month before release. WOW, 2k. WOW.

Why do people keep using this as a crutch as if the Live demo was release early by design?

We probably can expect the 4th teaser on Friday, October 3rd, and the demo sometime before the christmas rush. But seriously, it's like they are blissfully unaware of the actual release date.

Re: NBA 2K9 Teaser #3

Again... I'll wait until after NHL 2k9 is released...

after that, then you can all complain more if we still don't have solid 2k9 information some 3 days after NHL 2k9 is out...

that said... the teaser didn't suck... showed the amazing graphical powers of 2k9... just look at Josh Smith's face... my boy getting some love.

Totally pointless. This is pathetic. Don't ever let me see 1 of those 2k marketing guys in a dark alley......

Or in NY!

Just wait until the real deal hits.

Forget about when the demo was released, look at when the demo was ready. It was ready and submitted a month before the game ships. Every game company starts prepping their customers and potential customers a month before release, but not 2k. They haven't discussed their new features, shown gameplay or interacted with the press at all, and we're getting inside of a month before the game comes out.

2k9 isn't the only game coming out. People should be given ample time to start deciding on what they want to buy, and when. Waiting for less than a month is unique to 2k, and it really isn't fair to the fans.

I'm not even complaining about the trailer or lack of info, or begging for more info. It'll come out when it comes out, but they should know that they are being unfair to their fans.

Re: NBA 2K9 Teaser #3

Sure we'd all like more info... Hell this is the only time of year I'm really in the forums, basically waiting for new info before release, and for a few tips extra after release, BUT seriously guys, WE are the choir! Whether the info comes or not, we are getting the game, and contrary to what you believe, the average gamer is only worried about the release date - friends of mine who play more than me and play better than me, care less about early info, they just reserve their copies and buy it when it comes out. That is the way it should work, VC has yet to fail us, and until they do, why worry? But no, I have this psychosis where I've just GOT TO KNOW, info, gimme, gimme, gimme... 2K knows that a bunch of early info does nothing to boost the sales when considering the average consumer - and even the choir for that matter - I played the Live demo, glad it was available, I'll erase it soon and I'm still not buying live. How about the rest of you? So tease away 2k...

All I really need to see is the Player Creator and I'm good anyway, because that is the only thing 2k8 screwed up beyond all reason...

Re: NBA 2K9 Teaser #3

Well I'm not really the one to complain but that was terrible. I was expecting a bit more but I guess I have to learn to not get my hopes up. A few more weeks til release. They mind as well not even show another 15-30 secs teaser. The game will be in everyone's hands soon enough.

It's not early info inside of a month of release. It's just standard. I can't think of anything coming out in thirty days that I can't find any information on.

So you'd prefer more marketing of an unfinished product over them still working on a game?

The size of the 2 teams is not comparable. EA has a marketing group capable of pulling all that off. Had you been playing a demo of 2k9 "a month in advance" you'd be saying it was too similar to 2k8.

Damn... 2k can't win. They spend more time working on the game than worrying about marketing the product... FOR YOU GUYS, THE HARDCORE FANS... and you guys are ready to get a lynch mob.

I feel for those guys. Remember all this when NBA 2kx is no more.
