Not buying because of rookies?

[MEEKS973]

Just curious if anyone here won't buy because of rookies not being in the game. When I first found out about the no rookie thing I was pissed a bit. I wanna play with the rookies and hear the commentary they receive. Now that they won't be in the game till the lockout is over who else second guessing buying the game?

Edit: I forgot to add I may not buy the game until the lockout is over.

Uh, no. Quite frankly, I find the idea laughable, especially with a rookie class that is so bad I could probably get into the first round.

It would clearly be foolish too not purchase the game simply because you cant play with rookies.. but then again some people Nit-Pick at the silliest things. ehhh

I hope you're not calling this complaint "nitpicking".

I'm going to get the game but I hope some folks get together and crank out some great created rookies.

I'm sure fans of the Cavs are going to be rather unhappy to see no #1 & #4 draft picks out there.

Rookies are my favorite part of the game every year.

I like playing with rookies. It make it more fun in my opinion. But with created rookies I don't wanna hear "number 34 with a 3 point play"

Nobody wants to hear that. I don't think a soul out there wants to start an association without the rookie class.

However it isn't up to the consumers

I'll be downloading all the rookies off 2kshare, no worries for me at all.

Re: Not buying because of rookies?

Before they had announced all the All Time team stuff I had decided that I wasn't going to buy 2K this year because of how much I loved 2K11. The Legends really helped sell me on this year's version, but the more I thought about it the less I cared about there not being rookies. It's a pretty weak draft class anyway so there were only a handful of guys I was really interested in to begin with. Besides, every year I always wind up waiting on Association mode while I'm getting the sliders just right or waiting for a minor bug fix. Between Legends and a majorly updated My Player mode that I actually want to play for once (it helps that that's an area where realism takes a back seat anyway), I'll have lots of content to go through and have plenty of time for someone on OS to make a reasonably decent draft class and a custom roster with the rookies on it.

since rookies are already in the game, just hidden....

i'm sure someone is gonna hack it and give us the code. lol

You don't need to create them. The rookies are in the game, just not assigned to teams or the free agency pool, thus invisible.

Just like Ricky Rubio has been in the game for 2 years, just not "enabled".

Any half-decent roster editor can fix this in about 15 minutes. I can probably have it ready for XBox 360 before release day, if I can drag myself away from My Player long enough.

Re: Not buying because of rookies?

This game could ship without the current stars and I'd still buy because the Legends are in it.

Re: Not buying because of rookies?

So...you want to not buy a game because it doesn't have rookies, when said rookies are likely going to be "unlocked" or patched into the game once the lockout is over?

So you're going to go a full year without any sort of basketball to tide you over until the lockout is over? I'd just get the game and wait on the patch. I'm pretty sure you can still have fun with it, even though the rookies are not "enabled" just yet.

However, if you don't have Xbox Live or PSN, then I can completely understand why you wouldn't buy it because you wouldn't be able to get the rookies anyway...

Don't do it to yourself my man. This may be the most wicked ball game in history. Not worth you missing out on that for THIS rookie class.
