People complain 2k are hiding gameplay because they haven't changed anything or because they're lazy and have no competition blah blah blah. 3.Then they announce the modes, usually career mode last and the gameplay. They show a stream of Ronnie and Chris playing it while trying to simultaneously talk about it (and failing. Because they completely lose focus and it's hilarious). 4. At this point the hype train is a complete runaway. All on board. Steam shooting from people's butt holes, shivering with excitement. 5. More hype. Players and such endorsing it. Youtubers doing their thing. 6. Everyone buys the game. And I mean everyone. Even those who were complaining and doubting. 7. $$$$$$$$$$$ 8. Exploits and issues are found. 9. People complain. 10. 2k patch it and inadvertently mess something else up. 11. $$$$$$ (tired of career mode, 60% of the fan base bitches out and buys vc) 12. More patches. 13. We start the dance all over again. Copy and paste this every year just to remind yourself. Thanks.

I'm a little more opinionated than most and prone to exaggeration strictly because I've been a huge fan of the series for so long and i feel the essence of the series has gotten away from them.

A comment was just made in another thread about the former os members now employed at 2k having a full year to influence this game. Well, that's cool. But they obviously aren't coders. It's the same with Ronnie and ld2k, they can only do so much

But the debacle that was patch 4 can't be understated. And the current situation this game is in right now is extremely disheartening knowing czar and beds are sitting RIGHT NEXT to those devs and we've had the game play like it does right now.
