Your right Pared. Anxiety is a HELL of a feeling lol. Jamood88, you got me mannnn. Smh lol... Either way as a consumer we win. We get to pick which ever we want to buy, I've been pro Live cause I know more about it as opposed to 2k. If 2k turns out wowzers hands down, I'll pro 2k. But again Pared, you got me. I'm showing my age as a 21yr old. I need to get some maturity and breathe lol.

Realize a lot of guys are flying high on trailers, blogs, pics and whatever because they are basketball fans.

No one has any idea what 2k is doing in the forums.

We have no idea if they addressed everyone's major concerns this year. They could have or couldn't have. But a lot of guys are already damning them off of SILENCE. People are throwing out a few years of great games and NBA authenticity for the sake of a trailer or a blog.

Guys, if you're here on OS, I would hope you're better than that. Let's wait until we get ALL the info before we start proclaiming anything.

The best example I could use is when buying a used car... one guy has a great car and he's selling you on every little thing it does, making it sound like it's the ideal car you've always been looking for. The other guy, while a bit more quiet and understated, is selling you a great car but doesn't really say much and instead focuses on just letting the car sell itself. He's confident in the quality of the car.

Either way, we'll all be driving a great car come the new NBA season.

Great post and great analogy. 2k's silence is unfortunately creating this environment. The silence seems to be elevating everyone's hopes or fears-mostly fears. I remember when we couldn't find out about a game til we bought it or read a paragraph preview in a game mag.

It really doesn't matter to me. Everyone I know and all my boys play 2k live blew with us years ago 2k can make improvements but I rather buy that that live. Just my 2cents

Geez, all this AGAIN?!

EVERY year I get on here around this time to start checking out if there is any new info on the upcoming 2K and EVERY year all I see are posters who bi*** and complain about not getting anything yet. They point to Live already having videos showing off clips of the game and developers speaking to the internet public. EVERY year they ALL boldly state that it's a lack of confidence in the 2K team fearing that Live has surpassed them and/or their marketing team is the worst in gaming history.

And yet, EVERY YEAR 2K eventually comes out with their marketing campaign, their developers come on here to answer a gazillion questions, they tell of all the features they poured into it and then they come out with a great game that blows Live out of the water.

It's not fear. it's not a lack of intelligence in marketing. It's the fact they CAN go at their own speed, sit back and allow Live to blow their load only to come in afterwards and say, "Hey, that's nice EA. Good job! BUT, now that we have all that out of the way, it's our turn to show you how a REAL SIM basketball should play and why our game is far more acclaimed year in and year out. Good luck!"

Call me a fan boy for all i care. I'm far too old to be one but it doesn't bother me. I'm not going by a company name or logo but instead witnessing this PROVEN concept and commodity each of the last 3-5 years.

Its a yearly event for sure but you have to remember we get new people in each year.

I will say this though last year was the first year I felt they let us down gameplay wise which has me a bit anxious to see if that is the new trend or a bump in the road.

I think both games we be the best they have been on next gen... I really believe that.

I couldn't agree more with you. Last year with EA showing too much things specially with Dynamic and pick and roll stuff. 2k showed fewer things but in the end, NBA 2K9 was much better.

Re: Any news on when 2k will be releasing info???

2k9 was much better than live 09, but 2k9 was not better than 2k8. Like what Czar said it will be interesting to see if 2k9 was a slip-up or is the 2k franchise going in the wrong direction.

Re: Any news on when 2k will be releasing info???

We shall see... Last yr Mike Wang didn't lead the gameplay and put in his animations either. This is the go hard yr for EA. I just rlly rlly want to see what 2k has to offer. 2k9 left me a little disatisfied and as Da_Czar said I want to see if that's the new trend or not.

The thing is, 1 guy doesnt make his soldiers. He can lead them, but if they dont have the talent to do what needs to be done, then its not going to get there. Its like putting Phil Jackson on the Memphis Grizzlies. they arent all of a sudden going to become the 2003 Chicago Bulls.

True but I would counter with the fact that it appears they hand picked that crew. Mike has a proven track record to that I always take into account ID was nice gameplay wise and so was 2k then he leaves and you have what you have so i don't think its hyperbole to say he is more than just a bit player... IMHO of course.
