    You'd think most would be happy to get early tidbits of info about the game and not make assumptions. Things shouldn't get parsed to the degree they are around here. 2K had to purposely downplay the news before they released it so it wouldn't spiral out of control - which is exactly what some would've been trying to do had 2K not prefaced the release so there was some perspective. How is trying to make it seem like something was said when it wasn't not a huge stretch?
    HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

      2K14 gameplay features a new blocking system.

      Does that make you feel better? Or do you still want to argue?

          2K14 is going to suck if they took blacktop out, Im def not going to buy it, if the rumor holds to be true.

            You can't tell someone to stop calling something a "feature," because they might be thinking of the word in a different way than you are. You're trying to tell them that they mean what the dictionary says, which they most likely don't. They can use whatever word they want. It doesn't matter. What matters is what they mean by the word they use.
            Well that settles any Bouncetek is a hype name for me!

              Man wait till yall get yo hands on the game to judge it. I'm glad they trying to incorporate more D, but there were a lot more prominent issues in 13 besides the inability to block. I can't wait to both hoop games drop. Whichever delivers the most all-around playable game, can have my $65-$70.

My brother and I have a bad habit recently of pausing the game and replaying all the times our right handed player had a clear path to the backboard but instead opted to stop their momentum, go completely out of their way, attempt a layup or dunk at the front of the rim, with the off hand, right into the teeth of the waiting defense.

                That said, I still think there's a time and a place for flashy dunks in the half court, just not if they're obviously going to lead to an easy block. For instance, if a prime Vince ever made a video game appearance, I wouldn't want to be unable to pull this off just because there's defenders waiting:

                  If I call a girl "tough" because where I grew up, that means "Good-looking," you ain't gon sit there and tell me that's not what "tough" means. Because that IS what it means, in that solitary context, because that's what I meant.

                  In marketing what you say doesn't matter, it's what people understands that matters.

                  What are we talking about anyway lol.

                      @RyanFitzmagic So you're telling us that if we insult someone with a derogatory term, say, stupid, that if we didn't mean "slow of mind" and we meant "awesome person", then that's the way they should take it? I don't think you should be telling us how to take things. Also, I or anyone else should be allowed to respectfully correct you or anyone else who may be wrong. We have nothing against you, we just want to see that you understand that Ronnie called it "a tiny bit of news", and feature means the exact opposite. If you meant "a tiny bit of news" when you said "feature" then you're fine.

                      You know, when other people correct people, it makes those people smarter.

                        If they knew you mean it that way? Um... yeah.

                        I think on the first episode of Fresh Prince, Will Smith told Uncle Phil that the plane ride from Philly to LA was "stupid." Uncle Phil took offense, and Vivian had to tell him that he meant it was good.

                        So yeah, you take words by what the speaker means, not what the dictionary says it means.

                          Well about time because I remember only blocking one dunk and from then on I was never able to to it again on NBA 2k13. This is a much needed addition being that they have the Eraser ability(that should've included blocking dunks.) But I'm still not sold yet, once I actually have my hands on the game I will see for myself.

                            You cited a hypothetical statement in which you call someone "stupid," but in your mind, you're not calling them dumb or un-knowledgeable-- you're calling them awesome.

                            If they know when you say "stupid," you mean "awesome," that's exactly how they should take it.

                              I'm not trying to bash your use of words, I'm trying to understand it. I just wanted to know what you meant by feature.

                                I said it earlier in the thread:

                                It's the first news regarding gameplay, and it was released as a single, solitary piece of news. I don't think saying that 2K is treating it like a "feature" is much of a stretch, especially when the thread title has the word "Features" in it, and it's being touted as a whole new engine/system, and just a slight tweak.
