Europeans/Aussies at a huge disadvantage in online mode

[Whoman]

Hey guys, just thought i´d mention it. Been registered a long time but never came around to posting anything ...
Anyway : Since the game is released 3 weeks later and no one can play Draft Combine the Euros´s "my player" will be considerably weaker than most of the americans that have a head start and draft combine to progress their players skills.

I´m not an online player at all and get to play Draft Combine, but still though i´d mention it.

Otherwise the game looks to be shaping up great and this new mode will keep me ocupied for sure

2K continually p*ss on European (and others to be fair) customers. The way they've worked over the last couple of years has annoyed the hell out of me and I think I will be giving 2K's games a miss from now on.

Here's hoping that NBA Live is worthy of a purchase this year.

Well, UK is part of Europe, and they speak english, so....

It's amazing how year after year, we get treated like that. Annoying...

Thats why i said maybe.
Put aside the "cheap countries" then,.. look where they've released it.. India, Hongkong, Malaysia? and their reason is like Europeans can't speak english?

All of northern europe, especially Scandinavia is pretty much fluid in english. It´s mandatory to learn early in school.

In Spain is not mandatory. You can choose between english or french, but any kid speaks basic english.

Anyway, its not 2k fault if the person buying the game doesn't know english. Do we have to pass a basketball test to see if we can play the game too?

Seriously, i'm pissed. Everyone's talking about their games, and the only thing I can do is play a 5 mins quarter with no rules...

At least in Ps3, you can download the game with an USA created account and paying with a VISA. I just added $25 in credits to my USA account to be ready to purchase it from the USA PSN when available (Sept 3rd i think)

Btw ©roke, good to see another Spanish around

Re: Europeans/Aussies at a huge disadvantage in online mode

I'm considering creating a U.S gamertag and getting the game but am concerned at getting banned if msoft catches up with me. What are your thoughts? what are my chances of getting caught?

Re: Europeans/Aussies at a huge disadvantage in online mode

you guys might be disappointed with the CAP in draft combine also as my experience is it is hard to create euro players such as a Nowitski or gasol.or aussie like bogut

I hope it is fixed on the retail game.
I want to be able to make a decent Motiejunas on my 2010 custom draft class..
