2K vows "Biggest Announcement in 2K Sports history" coming

[bowdown]

Do these mother fuckers know what "a couple of weeks" quantify into?

[Phraynk]

Riiiiight?

[Leftos]

2K doesn't give a fuck, honestly. They've got a pretty huge fanbase, so they can throw something out like that and people will wait, and wait, and wait, all the while discussing this announcement and building hype. The only deadline they need to keep is the release date. Everything else is fuck-all.

[Patr1ck]

It's good marketing. Very vague and gets people talking.

[Andrew]

Exactly. Of course, it can backfire spectacularly if the announcement doesn't live up to the hype and/or leaves the fanbase feeling burned by it.

[Patr1ck]

I hope it's free nba league pass games streaming through 2k13.

[Andrew]

That would be pretty cool.

[Phraynk]

That'd be cool if we could do that real-face thing that FIFA does for a MP. Use pictures of you, or someone, and it becomes the face of our player.

[MONGOxr]

I think it might be cool if you went undrafted and then got to choose which squad to try out for in the summer league, but that would really screw over your starting salary. Btw I actually would like a more RP experience and stuff to spend the money on.

Some other things I thought they may try with MP/CAL is to take "any" Legend (however many they provide) through the draft and play out their whole careers.

Or maybe like the awesome total season conversions here maybe they will let you be any team from "any" season, and of course if they did this they would have to include draft classes.

I am really just hoping for a new engine, collisions, physics, etc. I can't think of anything else worthwhile that hasn't already been touched on at least by modding community.
Good job guys

Isn't that My Player 2K10-11?

Im startin to think that merged 2K with EA Sports..

It's good marketing. Very vague and gets people talking.

...for about two days. I'd completely forgotten about this weeks ago, and even upon being reminded of it now still don't give a fuck, because they've missed the deadline for the announcement by so bloody long what's the point?

[Patr1ck]

That's true. My bet is that they are waiting on EA to reveal something about Live 13 and then hit the consumers with their announcement to grab the spotlight.

[koberulz]

In which case they should have either just done that, without teasing it first, or left it open. 'In a couple of weeks', then doing nothing for a month, is just the wrong way to go about it.

[fjccommish]

Maybe the big announcement is that there is no big announcement.

[bowdown]

this is pretty ridiculous now

[22cedric]

@Ronnie2k announced on his twitter that there will be a community program announcement about NBA 2K13.

is it related to their biggest announcement still? I am not sure if this "community program" means if it is still going to be a big news or just lame hype.

[Patr1ck]

Are they going to call it 2K Game Stabilizers? So they can help keep the game the same?

[22cedric]

I have no clue everyone

Probably a different initiative entirely.

[Jux]

Biggest announcement ... lol. Some kind of marketing whistle. Workable platform-independent multiplayer mode would be cool, but it is something far less useful. Perhaps international teams, that are participating in the Olympics.

[JaoSming]

LD2K on OS said this about the Community Announcement thing

was this really the huge announcement? the community program?

To answer your question - No.

[Andrew]

I figured it was a separate announcement. That said, no word on when or what it's actually going to be.

[koberulz]

Massive announcement coming 'this week', according to Twitter.

So another month or two.

Well, only for the patch that will be coming to fix the issues pertaining to the massive announcement.
In February for the PC, no doubt.
