It's opening day and half of these expectations were set by 2k themselves saying the were cooking up something for Christmas and folks were working if NBA Christmas games were playing.
It wouldn't be as big an annoyance if 2k didn't hype things up and then under deliver. Most of us still don't know what the Christmas surprise alluded to was supposed to be. The shoes? The rosters still missing second rounders? NBA Today working (or not working as the case may be)? Don't know. 2k should have had opening day features ready for opening day, and shouldn't be egging us on only to deliver less than what we reasonably expect. If they can't meet expectations, then a short apology referring to the lockout and holidays would be accepted by us begrudgingly. Instead we got even more hype and ended up staring at an incomplete roster and a half broken NBA Today. Most people probably also missed the Christmas shoes because NBA Today would fail to show the games at times.
