If NBA Live gets good reviews would you get both 2k and Live?

Clipper, tell me what you think. Game A comes out and has some pretty bad facets to it. A handful of user call the game on these issues. One, or maybe more, goes overboard and says people should be fired. But the rest make harsh, but reasonably accurate comments to these bad aspects of the game. Next thing you know, a couple of people come on to offer rebuttals to the points made by the guy that went overboard, but at the same time, defend the issues listed by the others on the platform of "it has potential" or "you're not giving the game a chance", or better "that issue is minor". Next thing you know, the "you're a fanboy" mudslinging starts. What do you do with that dynamic? How do you stop that cycle?

Dude you know that with some people, you can't do anything about that so you ignore it and hide their posts. But behavior is going to be dictated by the community culture. If those mudslinging, extreme comments are ignored, by the vast majority of the community the behavior will extinguish gradually.

It's impossible to eradicate it but the point is to drown it out with intelligent constructive feedback. So basically you can say the same thing in a structured well thought out way or blurt out based on uncontrolled emotion. I'm not saying anything revolutionary, it's just the most basic common sense with a little bit of critical thinking skills.

I personally like hearing well though out ideas to improve games, to me venting and bashing aimlessly accomplishes nothing. The Devs who actually take the time to read the post eventually just tune the emotional bashing out anyways.

My take, as I originally said is if were available on my system of choice I'd definitely give it a try, there would be things I didn't like but I'd try to figure out what's not doing it for me and why and express it. I'm trying to encourage this two way communication that's becoming a trend with developers.

I mean there was a Live Dev asking for direct input on what this community wanted to see in future dynasty modes. As a gamer that should be exciting not an invite to be rude to a person who's just doing their job and trying to get us involved so that we'll be happy with the game.

Again these are just general statements not directed at you specifically. And no not everyone has to think like me, that's fine, no biggie. Game on

Oh, you and I certainly agree 100%. I don't take any offense to what you're saying.

Every year huh? So, how was Elite 11, Live 12, and Live 13? I heard they were pretty memorable...

I still have the elite demo and will play that every so. There was no live 12 or 13 and 2k is crap so playing live 10 still. Live 10 is still better than 2k and 14 in the gameplay dept for me.


I see you've been banished to here with your hate bolier. The Live boards miss you!

For the record, I can post to the Padded Cell without a problem. I just choose not to. I see enough of the Jedi over here. I'm good. But if you want proof, I'll make a post for you. As for the rest of your post, your opinion that two games that are universally considered historically bad for ANY genre, says enough about your skills at judging games.

Don't call me out like you have something on me dude. Not necessary.

I know one thing . Live 16 EA might as well include their NBA street series into the game . Why not? 2k has gone very deep with the park this year
