Is 2K focussing on the wrong things?

[Boge]

The past few years, it seems that 2K is focussing on the wrong things for their game. Instead of polishing their gameplay and testing for bugs, they'd rather have a custom shoe maker. Instead of giving us a crew mode, they'd rather put Justin Beiber in the game.

Am I the only one that doesn't think Lebron Jame's headband isn't worth this bug or that feature? It seems they have their priorities all mixed up.

Judging solely on the demo, gameplay is as good, if not better than it's ever been. It seems their main focus this year has been MyCareer and gameplay.

So no, I don't agree.

NBA 2k is fine. My issue is what they are doing to other sports franchises (mostly EA Sports).

2k puts Jordan and then other legends in their game. The user is allowed to recreate their career or specific moments from their career.

The fans love it.

EA Sports see this and decides to run with it. NCAA Football puts in the Heisman Challenge and includes several past greats. Madden 13 also decided to include legends.

I hate it.

What EA fails to realize is that 2k is able to do this because their game is otherwise excellent. Legends are icing on the cake.
What EA is doing is putting icing on bread and calling it a cake.

Unfortunately it is EA's fault for 2k polishing stuff they care about (making money) no one wanted FIFA's ultimate team in the game but it's a big money maker... Crew is not a money maker (will be if it's DLC)... They look to have worked hard on Game play and CPU AI which was highly important.

I'm usually welcome to new additions, as long as they don't veer off course. I'm not sure I'm liking the celebrity involvement though, it's just weird. I sure as hell don't care about Bieber, The Shoe Creator is dope though, and people have been asking for this for a while.

You serious? This is the year that they've actually improved the gameplay by developing a whole new control system. Sure, they made new post controls last year, but the control stick is bigger. They're adding this superficial stuff because they can.

Well, the fans want to make sure socks are the right color and that menus aren't gold...

crew isn't in the game, other nonsense is, so the answer would be yes.
