People keep bringing up controls but the controls aren't the problem it's the horrible AI.

You said it all , no matter what sliders you used there was no blend in 2k8 fun for a bit but no long term enjoyment other than the goalies.
When you changed one slider it messed up the other if it even worked thats why I will not buy games like 2k anymore .
I feel Nhl 08 and The Show 08 are the way to go smart AI that adjust to your game play.
I played 2k8 3 months before I made the switch to08 as no game should be a full time job .
Games today shouldnt have AI from last gen where you could find cheats or holes in the AI

I'm a 2k fan, but I'm guessing that rebuilding the game is probably going to take two full years.

From what I've been hearing the entire 2K booth at E3 has been pretty pathetic.
The impression I got was that 2K knows they're going to be extinct soon and their lack of enthusiasm has shown that.

E3 is pathetic now. I posted an article from ign about why it sucks now. it's 1/10th the size as 2006, and many companies openly state how it's not worth going anymore because it doesn't benefit publishers, developers, or consumers...so what's the point. I think 2k doesn't go to e3 '09 because it's become meaningless.
