It's not you 2k... it's me.

[Wiffyjustus]

Dearest 2K,

We have had some special times you and me. My fondest memories come from 2k5 and 2k6. I loved you like no other. There was just no competition.

Your latest makeover is truly beautiful. You are a wonder too behold. Your greatness is undeniable.

It is with great sadness that I must inform you... I have found another.

But please know dearest 2K... it's not you... it's me.

My hands can no longer grasp your control system. You deserve someone who will devote their time to get to know you.

I will not speak of our online issues, I know that given time we would have worked those things out.

2K, you have so much to offer, and I know there are many, many more fish in the sea for you. Many who will properly appreciate your beauty.

But sadly, we must part... I have met another.

She is Live, and we are in love. She is an old flame whom I have recently reaquainted with. (We first met back in '95... and earlier Lakers v Celtics)

I admit, she does not have your beauty or elegance. But there is just something about her. There is chemistry between us... something in the DNA maybe?

Live has a simple, easy way about her that immediately puts me at ease. We understand each other.

I... I wont go on. It is best if we make a clean break, better for the both of us. I just can't handle switching control systems every other day, it's tearing me apart.

Remember dearest 2K .it's not you,,, it's me.

you will always have a place in my heart,

but I can't be with you now.


love,

J




note: I know this should be in the 2K forum but... I just couldn't do it. The emotions are still too deep

Lol, this was a fun read. I have nothing against 2K, but I appreciated your creativity here. Loved the DNA part.

Not so sure about 2k5 though, but hey, to each his own.

You loved NBA 2K5...but don't love 2K9?

Man...2K5 was terrible.

That's like loving a woman when she's 100 kilos...and leaving her when she's a cheerleader!

2k5 was pretty bad, but it had things they did right as well presentation wise and editing wise. But on the court it was a mixture of good and bad.


Great post guy! And I agree Live is back in flying colors. I haven't liked a Live game like this since 95 on Genesis and 05 on Xbox.

Re: It's not you 2k... it's me.

You beat me to the punch.
I've been a diehard 2k guy until this year.
Now I can't get enough Live.
This will be the first year I've ever traded 2k in early.
I feel bad, because 2k9 is a fine, fine game ... I just have more fun with Live.
I will never bash 2k basketball. It's a great series and deserves the praise it gets. 2k got me through three or four bad years (maybe more) of Live.
I am glad I bought 2k9 this year - just to support those guys - but Live had me at hello this year. It is just a damn fun game.
Is it the "greatest evah"? Probably not, but I am addicted like a fat kid is to a Big Mac.

Lol, I'm having a Big Mac right now. Seriously. Not a fat kid though.

I think 2K9 is the best in the series, if not then definitely in the top 2. It certainly didn't become worse from 2K7 or 2K8 in my opinion. Live just stepped up big time this year.

Anyway back on topic...

It's the Internet. I'm 6-5, 250, run a 4.3 40, bench 475, have a 46" vertical leap and sleep with Jessica Alba.

Absolutely Brilliant! I couldn't have put it any better myself...

LoL...

Ummm... so you wouldn't mind if I co-sign would ya?
I know 2k has been gettin' around for a while...

Re: It's not you 2k... it's me.

The best live was the one on genesis where you could input the codes to get the Old time players.. I think it was 95 cant remember.. But that was the best year.. Until this year, this year takes the crown for me...

Yeah, maybe I am remembering it through rose coloured glasses.

ROFL!

Ok, I'll amend it to just 2k6 (xbox version)

I do love 2K9, I do. I just can't meet her expectations.

You remember that?

It wasn't so much a code, but you'd go into create player and put "Ervin Johnson" as the name, and once you did, all of his bio and statistical information would show up.

Loved that.
