well they are the masses? so when they walk up in the store they gone look at kobe bryant vs dwight howard. a champion/finals MVP vs a loser, a hall of famer vs defensive player of the year. the choice is simple and thats just being real...2k

Of course I'll buy 2K10. As long as it's good, I don't care if it's shown 3 months before release or 2 days before release.

The people "complaining" are not the people just looking at covers, and you know it. I am not talking about casual gamers.

Why do people say this? No one blindly buys games solely off the their name anymore.

The same reason I started to pay attention to 2k7 instead of live 07, it looks good.

The majority of peopele who are going to buy nba 2k10 aren't on this message board. There not going to buy 2k because of slick marketing, their going to buy it because of how great 2k9 was in their opinion. 2k can afford not market as heavily because they have an amazing track record of good basketball games. ea has shown they have definitely tried to improve their game, but who cares? The only way i'll purchase live 10 is if it's better than 2k10, and based on ea's track record, it won't be.

Most of the sim gamers are going to go for which ever game best represents nba basketball so they are naturally going to seek out as much info as they can than blindly choose a title off name alone, but they still will have a preference towards which game they want based off last years results of what they played.

Basically, this is what I was trying to say. And I do agree about people having a preference. Thats very evident in various parts of this forum and others.

Look at how poeple here (including me) making a fuss of 2K10, if it's gonna be like this or like that, what it's gonna look/play like etc. etc.. If 2K can create this fuss with "no advertising" (actually THIS IS the advertising strategy), then that's all they need.
The question is: Does OS reflect the masses? Well, that's for 2K to find out...

So why do we complain about marketing when we know if 2k10 shows us everything we want in a basketball sim gameplay vid we'll all jumpship right back to 2k but constantly complain about the marketing every year.

Thats a big if my man considering we haven't seen anything. We can only hope. And I do hope 2k10 is a true basketball sim with precise player control/movement..

I don't complain. I really want to see gameplay videos, but I don't care when it's gonna be shown - as long as the game is good.

I agree all the more reason to post more vids and stuff like that because then not only do they have the casual fan covered but the internet soldiers like us.

I don't think too many games could compete under those types of circumstances.

I think they could bury their comp if they took on this attitude especially with all the annoying fanboys every game has.

Because we all know fanboys take up a lot of the internet soldier population just check out any site beside OS.

I said "advertising" and not "marketing" because marketing's goal is to actually sell more, while advertising's goal may be different.
