Every year people complain about 2K's marketing like they don't already know how it's gonna go down. When @ the end of the day, it's gonna be the best hoops title and (as of late) sell more copies than Live anyway so from VC's perspective, why change a thing? I know not 2 expect anything solid until mid September so my advice is 2 sit tight, enjoy the Live vids & previews and wait patiently 4 D-Day!

Yawn!!!

Enough of the Lakers / Celtics already!

Nice clip, the puffing of his cheeks as he goes up is nice. But who cares about 30 seconds of puff.

I was expecting more, thanks anyways 2ksports. 1 of 4. So 3 more teasers.

This preview is nothing more, but something to create more assumptions. I mean seriously 79 days before release and we still don't have any official footage from 2ksports marketing camp.

Talk about bad priorities around there, they need to just start web leaking stuff, since they don't want to market the right way. Let the sites do it for them.

Video's, Updated screens etc. I mean seriously whats going on over there?

This preview is garbage, enough of all the articles with writers pretending to be excited.

Show us already!

there was one friggen play in this teaser...it's appropriately named...it didn't leave me begging for more.

I got my hopes up for something that was so short. Oh well.....

I'm gonna assume that was the new shotstick being shown off. The graphics looked great though.

Graphics look great for sure, 2K did a good job with the improvements to the player faces, skin and jersey textures, and crowd. Finally we have a basketball that looks like an official NBA basketball (2K always had the basketball seams undefined for some reason, now they actually have the seams BLACKENED).

This teaser was mostly a way to showcase the graphical improvements, since there wansn't enough time to see how the animations and overall gameplay are truly coming along. Can't applaud them enough for the improved jersey textures, it makes them look incredibly life-like and no longer "metallic-y." Also appears that they gave the uniforms an overall physics upgrade, since they appear to flow a lot more life-like now.
