There is something wrong with the picture then. Either the camera or a filter being used and it was touched up. That looks completely fake.

This looks like a legit picture:


That, on the other hand, looks fake.

Does it matter? The point is, it's the new court.

If you want to play that game, it doesn't.

Don't expect it in the game. Simple.

I knew that it wasn't going to be in the game considering that it was unveiled too late. I'm just curious as to why you consistently said everyone was wrong when they said it was the new court.

But I put all the blame on Take-Two and 2ksports marketing. Sites like Gamekult and other's shouldn't have to be the ones to leak stuff like this. It's 2ksports' job. What no one has really pinched on, is the fact that there are pictures like these out there. Yet 2ksports has been keeping us in the dark. Even with the game coming out in 30 days, we've still got no info from them personally. Those lame *** teasers are just garbage. They have never been this late on gameplay footage. Obviously there is something wrong with the game other wise we would know something by now.

Question: Why do you want pictures or videos so bad? I dont understand it. You buy every basketball video game. You bought Live 07 and 08 and both of them were arguably garbage. You bought March Madness 08 and I played that and know thats garbage. So more likely than not, you are going to buy this game no matter what. So other than being able to watch the videos until your head explodes...you still wont be able to play the game until Oct. 7.


I also love that so many OS Vets are constantly complaining and whining about the lack of footage even though they are familar with how 2k markets their games (1 at a time) and being that we are still 4 weeks away from release. How about this: If they dont release info by the end of this week, I'll shut up and never complain about the complainers again. If they do, you will stop complaining and promise not to do the same exact thing next year. Deal?

****, if I was 2k I wouldnt release any footage until 10 days before release. All you maniacs are going to do is watch the videos like crazy, say they look great and then nitpick the hell out of them. "Why are there so many generic shoes!" "Why dont they have JR Smith's new tattoo?" "Why dont they have Mike Woodson new haircut?" Ive said it before and ill say it again...there is no evidence that shows that releasing videos 3 mos or even a month before release leads to sales. Sales are generated more by commercials around release date, word of mouth, website and magazine reviews and the game's past track record. I trust that 2k knows what they are doing. They did it right the last 3 yrs imo.

That should be fairly obvious now.

Despite how true you are... why'd you bring this up again? Everyone stopped complaining!

Now they're just going to respond and it's... here we go again!

This post should be stickied.

behindshadows,

I don't get how you keep claiming that 2k's graphics are cartoony. Although it is a matter of opinion or taste I think the contrary is true.

LOL. They did until Behindshadows post. Its not a big deal. I'm just trying to understand the mentality. I have no doubt in my mind that 2k will drop another preview, pics and or videos this week. Its what they always do.
