Your face is scanned, you're in the game. You're ballin without limits. There's only one thing left to become a superstar. Produce your own Rap album Ala Shaq Fu on #TheStage.

What guys are missing though, is that the commercial IS for little Johnny at home who needs this in his life now because it's his first step to super stardom, regardless of whether or not he's ever set foot on the hardwood in real life. Gone are the days where you can sit back at OS and get a plethora of nothing but gameplay and AI info. 2k has heard the masses, and like it or not, for marketing purposes, OS IS NOT the masses.

You're not saying so exactly, but the context of that statement makes it sound like 2k is not aware of or in service to the kinds of customers that are on OS. This is obviously untrue, with developers answering questions on here, and the fact that 2k has hired several people from OS to do work for them.

I think the issue that most people are having is not the nature of the information--it's been balanced so far--but the fact that it's all squeezed down into about a week and a half before the game comes out. I think it's a little extreme, but we have to look outside of 2k for a moment. With all of the other releases out there like FIFA 15 and Destiny, 2k is smart not to let significant information get buried by the 24 hour gaming news cycle.

I'd prefer they serve the hardcore and SIM crowd a bit more and save the embargo for the spectacle, but I get it. To paint their marketing as some kind of evidence of a casual mindset is patently wrong. 2k has been trying to entice casual gamers while satisfying the hardcore crowd for a long time now. Just like most game companies.
