Re: NBA 2K15 Ships on October 7th, Pre-Order and Get the KD MVP Bonus Pack

I know this doesnt really apply here because its a basketball forum, but sure 2k made tons of money off of 2k14. But that is because next gen didnt have any games at launch. It is still pretty weak and 2k was the big launch title that everyone knew had the best graphics. They sold it with that commercial and the next gen graphics that aren't that great speaking as a former pc gamer. Unless they can make the graphics better which they wont knowing 2k is lazy then you can expect sales to drop as well as vc sales because everyone is getting tired of paying for basketball cards, new gear and players that still suck in the park because of broken game play and ball hogs. Their servers are **** and the park is annoying. 80 players and half the courts are broken. With these load times and waits you spend more 3x more time not playing the game then actually playing it. Sure you can play with friends but that takes even longer and then you just drop when you win a couple games anyways.

We actually believed they built this game from the ground up and that is something most die hards have been waiting for. It looked like they did from the commercial and we didn't care if they had vc. We ran out and bought our new consoles, some of us just for this game. Then we find out it is the same game with slightly better graphics but way more frustrating in just about every single aspect/game mode. Even the menu navigation is frustrating. Its like 2k kept asking themselves how can we frustrate customers more with this and did it. How can we make this less fun and make them want to buy vc to think it will make a difference?

2k has peaked and it is all downhill in sales from here. If live ever figures it out (not getting my hopes up) then most of the die hards will migrate and that is the beginning to the end of their era and dominance of the basketball sim market. We are all beginning to see that 2k wont fix and they will only sell. It wasnt that our consoles were old or that they were too busy adding this or that. It is because they are only looking out for the bottom line.

The good is we have other games to play on our new systems. I dont think they will make a worse cod than the last one iw shipped out and if they do then im done with that franchise forever. We can play 2k quick games when we need our basketball fix, but we wont get addicted and spend money since we dont feel the need to play 2k to get value from our consoles. 2k will lose a lot of the casual customers who bought this game just cuz and hated it for the same reasons we do. And they will be left with us who are ready to dump this game at any second.
