But PLEASE stop trying to act like the game is unplayable because of it, just because you want to get your point across. Everytime I see these comments it reminds me of the kid that throws a fit in the supermarket aisle because he can't have the candy bar he wants. The lack of features seems more of an inconvenience than the the overall feature just not fuctioning at all. And this whole "there's gonna be a riot if people can't play 2K11 online and there's no 2K12 patch by then" is ridiculous. Or saying there better be a patch before DLC is released or there will be a riot - again, ridiculous imo. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. And if it is for you, then maybe you really shouldn't be playing. Pushing soap opera level drama because you want to draw attention to your concerns is petty. I've read many major titles have issues on their initial release (Batman, Battlefield, etc.) yet somehow their respective fanbases are able to look at the quality of the games as a whole, not just some piece they have an issue with that wasn't up to par. Here people do the equivalent of a baby falling out in the parents arms because they can't have their way

way to ruin any valid point you had with a ridiculous hyperbole. Botttom line, with leagues in the condition they are, people who don't care to play the computer are basically stuck. Online is broken for them. I have said many times the on the court game is much better, but i bought this game to play in leagues with my friends. some who have different schedules than others, and it might take them a few days to get games in with a certain member. As an admin I could ;et those 2 work around that, now I gotta tell them tough you know what because 2k makes a bone headed design decision that noone seems to know why.

Maniac, his hyperbole is actually a perfect analogy! When a baby falls who's to blame? The parents or host and in this situation 2K is the host!

The other issue is if you aren't vocal about major problems or oversights, how else would 2k know to fix them?

[Pared]

Right - because the more vocal you are, the easier the solution.

Let's all complain more and more because then "2k will suddenly have the answer."

Sometimes things happen for a reason. You may not like the reason but the reality is you don't care about the reason - you care about the result. And that's your right as a consumer.

But as someone who frequents the forum often enough? It gets rather annoying reading people complain about the same things over and over. Posting about the same problem 50 times a month isn't going to change or rush anything despite what you think. And the rest of us get it already - so what makes you think the developers don't?

All you do is become white noise and your point becomes less valid. No different from any other social interaction where repetition is unwelcome.

If you're listening, then please leave 2K Share UP for us who are passionate about NBA 2K11!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this game, and many of us are still adding rosters and making this game have lasting appeal. I recognize 2K12 is out, but 2K11 was a groundbreaking effort that many of us still love.

Take this back to those who make the calls...
