8 of the questions were answered with pretty straight-forward response. One was a bit vague and one he blatantly didn't want to talk about at this time.

Thought it was pretty informative. If you thought it was vague it might be because you are thinking you have to read things into everything 2K says.

He did seem to dodge some of the questions a little bit. To me he didn't seem to answer all the questions in there entirety. I wouldn't exactly say he was straight forward with all his answers, but he wasn't just leaving us completely clueless either on what he meant with most of his answers.

My favorite part of the article:

Quote:

Q: With the addition of Euroleague, did any other teams have to be removed? We would hate to see Classic/Legend teams get removed. From what we understand, classic players were contracted from NBA 2K11 through NBA 2K13, has that been extended? A: You’ll have to stick with us for future news around classic players, but we did not remove any teams as a direct effort to shoehorn Euroleague into NBA 2K14.

I know it was said a few days earlier that classics would be returning. But I kind of thought it left the door open for some classics to be removed. It's nice to know that won't be the case. Big move for me.

Also, I know this is hopelessly optimistic, but my hope would be that "stick with us for future news around classic players" means there could be some more concerted effort to involving them in 2K (as opposed to just pasting from one edition to the next).

Not that it's a big deal, but it did kind of feel as though a lot of things were glazed over. Where a multi-tiered question was asked, often a singular and limiting answer was provided (ex: Q: Will the rosters be full? If not, can they be added before release? A: There will be 10 players per team). It's a clear answer, but maybe not a full one.

That said, I think we can all understand why this is done on certain answers. One, if the answer could be perceived as negative, avoiding a certain question is better than addressing it at this early point. And second, a few of the questions seemed to touch on areas that traditionally are held tight to the chest until specific info release weeks (Classics, shoes, Summer League).

I'm not sure I understand.
I respect if they say "we aren't ready to talk about that at this point." We are months away from release. However, when they agree to a Q&A regarding a recent feature announcement I would prefer if they didn't dodge questions or make them so generic to the point of being useless. Heck, hold off on the Q&A for a month until the answers can be more fully fleshed out.

Geez it's not a big deal if someone makes a slightly off topic comment.

This should be a nice change of pace, glad to see 2K going forward as EA stagnates.

the fact that euroleage is not going to be in association makes the entire implementation worthless. association mode has been left untouched since 2k11 and is growing stale and needs a massive overhaul and adding in the euro league could have done that. im very disappointed.
