I know the feeling. I have be racking my brain trying to decide. 30 team option would make this game perfect for me.

If Madden 25 scores higher or remotely close to NBA 2K14 next gen I'm going to throw up and vow to forever be done with IGN reviews. They will have earned zero credibility with me.

There's no question that 2k makes great games, but the same goes for EA. Tiger Woods, Fight Night, NBA Live(before CG), Madden before 2k that game seemed to change everyone's opinion on EA football, but when you the recently released EA getting votes of 4.5 on these forums it would have you believe the site is pro 2k. A score of 4.5=not playable if you ask me, and I just see how and gamer could consider any Madden, Live, or FIFA title not playable.

Don't know if anyone got back to you on the song.

Song sounds a lot like Jay-z's Blueprint 2 song, but this is a slightly different sample. Remix is Bandini - The Ecstacy of Gold. It is a mix of a song used in The Good The Bad and The Ugly by the same name as the Bandini remix. The song can also be found on the Blur Soundtrack (game by Activision).

The game-play videos from Bug had players resembling the thin models that were in 2k8 (if you have the game check for yourself). The Real Voice trailer trailer appeared to show the same when players would be in the super man pose during the half time or post game interview. All of the arms looked quite thin. But when you go back and watch the Gamespot preview video with game-play from the HEAT/Warriors matchup players like Bogut, Curry, Lee, Bosh, Wade, and LeBron have varying upper body types. The same can be noticed immediately in the current IGN review as well. The upper body types vary once again in a GOOD way! So why the difference in the version that was playable at the location where Bug was capturing gameplay? Just wondering about the peculiarity given the time frame. PS--I know Mike already stated that at least one player (Rose) would be addressed.

Probably because the version Bug was playing in the store had no internet connection and didn't have the patch. in that Heat/Warriors vid, I don't think that was the final patched build either. So there more than likely will be a first day patch to correct some of the "thin" body types we have seen in some of the gameplay vids.

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting.

Still super pumped for sure.

Seeing the gameplay has me wondering if sliders for CG work for NG.
