My player mode with the combine, training camp, interviews, d league. They have introduced legends for us old school guys. The have sig dunk and layup packages. They have MJ's and kobe's sig fadaway jumpers in their game. Also their presentation is top notch. What other game or engine has this? Talking about 2k's engine being the same is played out. Their bball games aren't perfect, but they do strive to improve every year. Their tech should be applauded and appreciated. It blows what EA is doing out of the water and this has been the case for years.

You won't get an honest answer because anyone being honest can't disagree

Matter of fact 2k trying to pull off the stunt this company is and they'd get bashed beyond with people swearing off the series left and right to the point you'd think they re the ones who's been screwing fans over

Basketball fans have been getting the short end of the stick for a long time now

I'd love to see ea pull this off with madden to see what the reactions would be....and I know people wouldn't come in here saying " as long as they bring it out I'd still buy it if it was crap"

Funny thing about the 2k engine is that it sounds like it is still the same one from the dreamcast games! Obviously it hasnt hindered them completely (If true still) but had EA done that.....well I think we know what the outcome would be lol

EA seems to suffer from ADHD since they put something in the game one year, and its missing the next. They introduce an engine one season, and start fresh the next year....Its like they go through extremes because of a little issue, instead of fixing that issue and continually building off of a potential foundation.

They stated that's not going to happen again & the reason for that this gen was because of rewrites in code.

The problem with that cedric, is it's the same old song and dance. They've been saying things since 2006 and doing the opposite, so why should anybody listen to anything they have to say? They're like the Bob Arum of video games. "Yesterday I was lying to you, but today I'm telling the truth."

and the underlying issue about the constant drastic changes is that they have the money to scrap entire engines and start fresh each year.

You would think that's a good thing but it's actually a double edged sword.

When the game is just a little over a month away from due date (Early October) and you've given hardly any information and won't show or talk about your product... i don't know how anyone can have positive feelings about this game.

I don't get the people who are defending EA. They don't care about you. They care about your money. Why are you defending them? In the past 2 years what have they done to make you feel you need to defend them? They realized that 2k had stepped up their game, they were falling behind, tried a name change and a so called "new direction", failed miserably, scraped the game, said they were going back to Live a year ago and have given us no sign of life.

I just find the whole situation comical and especially the people who are trying to defend EA in this situation. I'm more than happy with the product 2k has been putting out and this year looks even better so whether Live comes out or not i don't care. I don't even know why anyone would bother purchasing it over 2k anyway when 2k is hands down the better basketball game unless EA has kept the best secret ever and release a ridiculous product.

The ONLY reason you are mentioning dreamcast here is because of last year when 2K said they been using a modified code of what they used in their Dreamcast days. Noones talked about their engine being the same as during the Dreamcast years.
