Sorry but you are the minority. You need to always remember that. People who come on OS and care about passing, CPU double teams and other gameplay only features are the hardcore minority (I'm included in that group). Most people who will buy this game are excited about the Dream Team and will never watch that developer insight.

Man just stop it. Scottie Pippen is not a corvette compared to Jordan or Barkley or Magic in any world and him demanding more money than they do is embarrassing

Obviously 2k agrees because the show must go on, and a career 2nd banana is not going to stop it

Good for you. So do I. I just realize that Ronnie 2k's announcements arent meant to get me excited.

Control sticks - huge announcement.
2 New Olympic teams - not a huge announcement.

Put it in perspective:

Not everybody is going to play this, and the majority of you that do are going to spend no more than 6-8 hours of your time on NBA 2k13 playing dream team/olympic team games - but everybody will probably spend a good 15-25% of their NBA 2k13 time learning/using the new control stick.


Now if you have the rest of the Olympic teams from either 2012 or 1992....then this might be huge announcement worthy - It would be the same level as when they announced the Jordan challenges...

Well then why keep announcing things like this and Jay Z then not elaborate on them if that's the case? If these announcements are to work the media buzz why not detail them while you have the medias attention.

The olympics just happened the question was asked 2k did something about it in there own way and added the best team ever assembled.

Some feel that voicing their displeasure over and over will alert 2K devs. to make the "necessary" changes or else they'll continue to voice their displeasure until 2Kxx adds what they want.

We won't unfortunately.

"He will not, however, appear on any other team in the game. When asked if that was because Barkley only agreed to an appearance for USA Basketball, or if the game was not returning or adding to its "NBA's Greatest" suite of classic games, Argent demurred. "We're going to talk a bit more about that as we start making more announcements," Argent said, "but Charles will just appear on that 1992 team."

I wish more people would realise this. Every developer, doesnt matter the game/genre/etc focuses all announcements to the casual masses. Everything under the hood is for the hardcore fans who really can tell the difference and play the game the "way" it should be played.
