Worst pre-release marketing ever for sports game?

Zero for baseball if you have Xbox

The youtube guys will keep them hyped this week, and when they start to fade, you hit them with something else.

The key to selling something is to put out quality.

...but since people don't believe in marketing they shouldn't show anything because people will buy anyway.


I can't believe we're at the point of being all hollywood where you really believe the hype is better than the ones who do the actual work on the game.

The substance keeps you not the smoke and mirrors

People complain about gas prices and health care, yet still pay for it.

What's your point?

But people get to play the game early. 2k drops a video..."Yea but I got to play it to know..." - Everyone; including Me.

I want info just as much as anyone else, but a video and blogs will do nothing that actually playing the game will, in relation to truly knowing the product you are about to spend money on.

That's actually what I meant to say, but reading my post again, I can see I really should have worded that better.

I apologize. I love NBA 2K, but I hold no delusions about it being perfect.

No, I would like to know if Online leagues will have multiple seasons.

I don't need to play the game before it comes out if I have some information on it, not just some shakey cam footage of 30 seconds of gameplay.

We haven't had THE 2K on this gen yet like we had with 2K11 on the older gen. Maybe it's 17, doubt it though.

And even 2K11 had serious problems.

Remember the unstoppable spin dunk?
