I've pretty much given up with 2k making their NBA games more sim. With the emergence of the casual gamer 2k can't do anything but make it more causal. We can't change that. If 2k doesn't appeal to a broader audience then they don't sell. If they don't sell they drop the product. By the way I'm not a "little kid" and I'm subscribed to Gento, Smoove, Shakedown, IpodKingCarter and more. When you think about it, we are all adults playing a virtual game with virtual dolls of Kobe and LeBron that play basketball on a TV with a fake court and everything. We are all kids in a fantasy world. The thing is, that's what makes us love the game. The fact that we can go on to this fantasy court and play against random people we added as friends that we don't know in real life intrigues us. You don't realize how much the game has come since 2k1. Look at these pics. 2k7 and 2k14. AMAZING WORK by 2k. This is a reason for them to be "arrogant".
Arrogance is an exaggerated sense of one's importance or abilities to the point of being overbearing. How could 2k exaggerate something that wasn't there? We need to appreciate more and judge less. I want a good ball game just as much as you do.
