Real time physics all the way baby!!!" Not to make it a "vs" thread, of course, but there are many people out there who care about gameplay but don't know anything about the gameplay in 2K11, and all they hear about is "Jordan this", "Jordan that". Sure, 2K had to create a big boom around the game - and Jordan is there for it. But, again, there are many gamers who want the best gameplay and all they know is that Jordan is in the game and that's it.

the casual gamer doesn't think that way. Sim players are not casual gamers

NBA 2k10, I believe, was the #1 selling game in October 2009 (across all platforms), because Kobe was on the cover. Plus, EA is not confidently marketing Elite as a comparable option this year. Not on OS, and not anywhere else. You have to give credit where credit is due. 2k marketing guy, Ronnie, has done an amazing job over the last three years to maintain a presence on FB/Myspace/Twitter and the 2k website itself. It is no accident that you are hearing more about 2k than Elite this year.

I can keep this discussion going, but there's no point. 2K is doing a good job, but they should make sure that all other aspects of the game are advetised as well. That's all I'm going to say.

most of the people making those comments are live fanboys who run to everything 2k to leave negative comments 2k fanboys do the same thing so it all fair game, people will decided when the demo hits and all the reviews come out which is the better game, but getting back to the article besides the new photos of MJ this is the only other new info from the article "All of the off-seaon trades and pickups are on the disk, and if you hook your game system up to the Web, as players are moved or are injured you have the option of having your season sync with real life" this is great news not I can play with current rosters in my season all year.

I'm putting MJ on the cavs, when you really think about it, it fits. just like the bulls, before jordan there had little success and is on no ones radar currently.

when the game drops, look for reviews to be quoted in commercials or sites.

MJ was the one who put a curse on the Cavs, so I guess he's the only one who can remove it.

that's right. you don't get it! They want actual representation man, you can't fault them for that. However, refs uniforms sound like nitpick.


They say we get to relive jordans moments and fans want to relive it as accurately close as they can.

What is that so confusing? lol.

I'm not uptight about it, but I understand where these guys are coming from. I like the complainers. If it weren't for them, arm bands would still be thin!

lol..too bad 2k doesn't have a decision mode, I'll take MJ's talents to souf beach, and crush 2k cavs fans.


All jokes aside, cavs are going to be the 86 bulls when I get it. First I need to get a console or a new pc.

I'm going to put a young Jordan on Cleveland and watch him give the Cavaliers a championship and crush Miami
