Well hearing that they remodeled 400 heads got me excited. What did you guys aspect? He told where they put their emphasis and that's that.

i guess i expected art to also include the presentation stuff that he was being so cryptic about. or maybe, if they're telling us how they redid 400 faces, showing us more than 5 guys. or maybe more detail about shoes, accessories, stadium upgrades, whatever.

i'd rather see future insights with some meat in em than to read a bunch of lackluster ones like this, just for the sake of saying they're doing X amount of insights.

in hindsight, this one probably should've been combined with another

guess we will wait until Thursday then for the real deal...

This is an art insight. I would've expected addressing the lingering home and away accessories colors questions we have pretty much every year that never gets addressed. They talked about very, very, very briefly the jerseys, court floors and player accessories that they worked hard to recreate. Well how about elaborating a bit on what they changed that was wrong in last years game. Did you fix the court for Chicago Stadium? How about early 90's Benny the Bull? What can we look forward to in the way of jerseys and alternates and the like? All we heard is stuff we've already known about really and a precise number on the faces done. We knew guys were getting new faces, cool now we know there are exactly 400. We knew about the old timey black and white presentation the old school overlays and whatnot. We don't wanna spoil things for future insights but over half of this insight will be on stuff already spoiled for you by the numerous magazine scans and online previews of the game that have come out thus far. Good thinking.

This one was definitely a disappointment, especially considering the delay.

People were upset because the insight was postponed last week. They get the insight early and they are upset again because not enough details were released. Again I ask: Is there something special about the Art Insight that you expected? Are people expecting big changes? If 2k is making big changes, they're doing a good job at keeping it under wraps.

What is your source for this info? Not saying you're wrong or anything just curious where you saw/heard that.

Wasn't expecting that much, but it would have been nice if it gave us some insight into something new besides there's new stuff but we don't want to spoil it. What I expect from an insight is insight.

I got to admit that for the genre and the consoles standards, those faces looked amazing !

Ummm how do you get something that's about four days late early? That's like instead of 2K12 coming out October 4th they say the title will be delayed until the following week and then when it drops that next Monday saying guys shouldn't be upset because the game dropped early.

I wasnt expecting much from the Insight, the Art Insight from last year was nothing to write home about if I remember correctly..

I just figured they would release a trailer, since it "wouldnt make sense w/o it" per Ronnie...

meh, im over it....not a big deal...funny though

It's for a couple reasons. Namely, giving a certain date for a particular Insight to be released, then postponing that Insight because you want to release it with a trailer. To some, the Art Insight should have included anything detailing changes to jerseys, arenas, floors, player models, tattoos, possibly shoes/accessories, mascots, etc.
So since the Insight didn't give 20% of the information expected of an "Art Insight", with the addition of the delayed/implied trailer being excluded, when the main reason for the Insight being delayed WAS the trailer not being ready, it's a bit disappointing.

I'm sure it's not gonna stop any of us from buying it, but I think I speak for more than a few when I say it's a bit annoying.
