If we don't get another patch...Would a 2K16 boycott be justified?

And the fact that the only people that they cater to have YouTube accounts makes them look EVEN worse.

What makes that spiel ridiculous, exactly? Do you not think that 2kSports is a business first and foremost, and a publicly traded one at that? If VC is glitched, you can darn well believe they'll fix that first--and you would do the EXACT same thing, because your job would depend on it.

I don't know what NBA 2k15's sales figures are, but NBA 2k14 sold more than 7 million copies. Out of 7 million people, it is impossible to please literally everybody, plus your bosses, managers, investors, etc. What makes the like 15 people on here who care about these issues think they're special?

If you know that they cater to people with youtube accounts, and you want an issue to be addressed, then...here's a thought--create a dang account and do something about it.

I think the problem here is that you think Jordan should never miss a layup.

No. The problem is that you accept bs and justify it because u like customization.

You don't "have" to play anything. There's this great thing called free will. You're free to choose to play Live if you want, WoW, Destiny, CoD, Pokemon, I could go on but you get the point. I didn't like the way Fifa did something so I played PES. I didn't like the way Battlefield did something so I played CoD.

It's ridiculous because you use it an excuse for them. Putting out great product with great customer service(and holding your word) goes a lot further, both financially and with your fan base, than ONLY thinking of shareholders. Yes, it's ridiculous and short sighted. Just like 2K

Yeah. There are people like me that took a break from this game. They marketed it to be of a certain quality while making significant gameplay enhancements(also getting surprisingly great marks from OS...shocking) and people buy it because they want to play basketball games. They simply did not hold up their end of the bargain. Now, I've listed in-depth all the things wrong with this game. Things that have been echoed by patching from the company and still aren't fixed. All I've heard as a pro for the game is.........customization.

Nobody here is venting just because they like to vent, its because theres problems within the game(many) and a lot of people would like it to be fixed. To get it fixed, you have to go somewhere and post about the issues right? But no, instead whenever you post about the issues theres people who are going to say "Then dont buy the game" or "Dont tell me what to do" when 2k sees this, they are gonna think theres no reason to improve because no matter what we're always gonna have people buy the game. That EA Madden mindset, and youve seen the "advancements" EA has made the last ten years.

And obviously we're all here because we like basketball video games, duh. Some just want improvement...

And if you're gonna tout the game as the most sim experience, I want to see that type of improvement.
