    Re: 2K Sports Announces NBA 2K12: Game of the Year Edition

    That's some funny stuff man

    I doubt i'll play 2k12 again this year. Not that i don't like it, it's just so damn confusing sometimes.

      On Black Friday the game was selling for 30-40 dollars that was how many months ago ? this is just a business decision by 2k to take advantage of all the recent attention the NBA has been getting with players like Lin to squeeze the last bit of juice from 2k12.

        Your point about sig. amount of dev time is moot is it not? They are the ones offering it for free? We never asked for it to be free. But now that it is free, why shouldn't it be free to everyone?

        I guess that's my main issue (and one that I'm speculating on because who knows if it will be free on march 11). Forget about those who paid day one and also day one for DLC, they are kinda screwed but at least they had "advantages" to buying early. But why should I (day 1 customer) have to pay for DLC that a day 200 customer is getting for free (and is paying $10 less for the actual game, as expected, too)? If you can give me what seems like a legit reason I won't harp on the issue.
        It's called an incentive. People do this ALL THE TIME in sales... they are willing to take a loss on DLC just to spur new sales of the game.

        So other companies don't do this?

        He gets paid to promote the game to ANYONE that is interested in 2k Sports titles, NOT just fans of NBA 2k. Some of you seem to forget they sell other titles as well. Heck, there are baseball fans who are going to buy the 2 pack of MLB and NBA together - it's the same exact thing.

          I am wondering if they are going to at least give you the 01-02 kings and 90-91 warriors will also. That would be nice if they do, cause a lot of people missed out on that. I had to get a new ps3 cause mine was stolen and I am **** out of luck even though I bought it on opening day because play station network made me sign up under a different user name so I couldn't redeem the code again. so that would be worth the buying the game again.

            He gets paid to promote the game to ANYONE that is interested in 2k Sports titles, NOT just fans of NBA 2k. Some of you seem to forget they sell other titles as well. Heck, there are baseball fans who are going to buy the 2 pack of MLB and NBA together - it's the same exact thing.
            You really think non-NBA fans are following Ronnie's twitter?

            The baseball pack is what it is. A desperation move. And anyone that has NBA buys it can just sell it and keep MLB.

            2k's marketing and community support is terrible.

              wow just wow, after the freezing problems they recently had they go out and announce this? EA might be picking a good year to get back in the NBA game because a lot of people are upset at the issues with 2k this year and the empty promises about being able to update the look of the players.

                Pared.........I don't know what to say bro. If you can't see how a PR guy saying "there's a BIG surprise coming" doesn't raise expectations........then, seriously man, I honestly don't know what to say............

                To put it simply.........the Knicks say "we have a BIG announcement coming".....................and then release the news that "guard Bill Walker has been extended for three years"................you wouldn't call that misleading PR?

                    Of the many big announcements that have been made this year, how many have you felt were truly big announcements or turned out to be big announcements? I haven't seen all of your posts, but you've indicated how disappointed you've been with their support, their roster efforts, etc. Even in this very thread. I'm not sure why you'd all of a sudden choose to believe this was the big one that would pan out the way you want it to. That is unless you want to raise your hopes so that if/when you're disappointed you can complain. I just don't see how you can have it both ways - how can you say they've continuously disappointed you this year, but continue to raise your hopes every time there's a tweet saying something big is coming? I haven't seen the tweet, so I don't know how it misleading it may have been worded. But I've read plenty of complaints on this board from people complaining about Ronnie overhyping things that turned out to not be hype-worthy. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...

                      My expectations are zero man..........and that's a bad thing. If Ronnie 2K tweets "huge news coming!", it would create zero response now. If he tweets "massive roster update coming"...i'd honestly expect maybe a new pair of socks and two guys jump shots changed.

                      Just because we all know he's full of crap by now doesn't mean we shouldn't criticise him.....it's not "fool me once.......", it's "hey, how about you guys treat your customers as adults and actually start addressing what people are asking.......". That's all.

                      As I've said before, the community support for this game post release has been outstanding on the consoles and out of this world good on the PC.

                      2K's "effort" though has been half hearted at best....I know you and Pared don't see it that way.....

                      Just don't "hype" features if you are not going to deliver them. Don't say "hey, we will have art updates! If Dirk cuts his hair, it will be in the game"............and then not do it. Don't say stuff like "we know even the 12th man on a roster is important to some fans and maybe that 12th man is someone's favourite player, that's why we give every player the same attention to detail!"...............i mean, this stuff is just flat out not true.

                      I don't know if you have the PC version bro...but, if you do, go and load all the mods and load Alby's latest roster.......look at the incredible attention to detail, the almost perfect rosters, gear, accessories, play books, depth charts etc....then think "hey, this is ONE guy who did this for FREE"........and then think "how come a multi million dollar company that I paid $60 to for the game can't match a guy releasing a free roster?".

                      I am not in any way angry about this...i am loving the game on the PC.

                      Go and load the PC version and you'll see just how big a difference a bit of genuine effort makes to the game with rosters and stuff. IMO 2K's effort on the consoles with rosters and art updates has been "weak".

I think the idea is to capitalize on some of the groundswell of love the NBA is starting to get back from the fans by introducing this deal.

                          That's my thought anyways...
                          Ignoring PC and Wii (which weren't pushed much this year), new-gen sales of 2K12 will hit 2K11 sales. They're not far off now, with many months of sales to go.

                            In your previous post you said:

                            If you can't see how a PR guy saying "there's a BIG surprise coming" doesn't raise expectations........then, seriously man, I honestly don't know what to say............
                            Then you say your expectations are (were) zero. To me it seems like a contradiction; like you want to have it both ways. It seems to be a way for you to continue to feel slighted, to continue to complain. Which is your right. I agree, while they have had *some* art updates, the expected hair/tattoo/whatever updates haven't come and they haven't given an eta on when they may come. If they ever do come. It's disappointing. But ultimately, me not seeing somebody rocking a mohawk isn't lessening my enjoyment of the game. The online franchise website not being up doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the game. The lack of cpu double teams doesn't ruin my enjoyment. Or any of the other issues.

                            2K12 isn't perfect and I accept it for what it is. I'd say the same about 2K11 or 2K10 before it. These comparisons to what people are doing on the PC version don't mean much to me - EVERY year PC people brag about what's accomplished on that platform versus the console versions, and that rings true across pretty much any game that has a console version & PC counterpart. Perhaps the updates to the console version haven't been as large as some of you would like. But I don't think it means the console version is crap, or that 2K's efforts to improve/tweak are crap. I look at this situation knowing it wasn't a normal year with the two month lockout likely affecting how the game was supported. I know there's a lot of focus on what they did wrong, but precious little on what they did right (like getting the NBA's new abbreviated schedule to work with NBA Today). Either way, I don't see it being the piss-poor effort some try to make it out to be.

                              Absolutely shameful. 2K is milking its product with no respect for the consumer. They're basically turning the franchise into the Call of Duty franchise. Churning out yearly iterations with little to no competition, and then extorting the gamers who have little to no alternatives in the genre.

                              I've never wanted EA to step their game up more than right now. God, I hope Elite 13 is good.

                                Here's an idea, 2K.

                                On March 11, do your re-release for $49.99. Also, on March 11, announce that the Legends DLC will be free for anyone who buys or already has the game. Problem solved.
