everyone join me in bringing NBA 2K to the PC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! register and let your voices be heard, and maybe next year we get a surprise!!!!!!!!

Man, couple of weeks ago I sent an e-mail to the customer service and requested them to bring the NBA 2k9 or at least port NBA 2k8 to PC.

Here's my e-mail:
"
Subject : From a Basketball Fan - NBA2K

Hi,
I'm a real world basketball fan and basketball video gaming fan since 2000.
I'm from Turkey. Realize that I've mentioned i'm from Turkey.
I've mentioned, because many people around the world like me want only one thing from you:

Please make the NBA2K game for PC platform.

Is that really too difficult ?

Please, at least make a pc port of the game. We PC users want to play this -only in the world- great basketball game, not for its graphics, just for its great REALISTIC SIMULATION GAMEPLAY.

Please answer me if this can be or never be !

Have a great day !

........Sorry for my bad English........ "



But look how the lady from the customer service answered my request:

Hello,

There are no plans to release NBA 2K8 on the PC.



Thanks for contacting 2K Sports

Did you see that ? They have no plans to release NBA 2k on PC !

But why? A big company can show its bigness with only competeing against its rivals (i mean rivalry between NBA 2k and EA sports on next-gen consoles) ! And i'm sure if 2k Sports release NBA 2K on PC, their income will largely increase !

Do you agree ?

For this I will have to correct this. I work in Custome Service and sometimes I have to deal with correspondence as well. You see, its likely you will get this reply because this customer service just want to get her work quota meet. It is not like she is going to run to the Business development and ask if they have plans to release NBA 2k on PC. Its just too much hassle. The customer service just couldnt be bothered. So, all hope is not lost.

There is a possibility that NBA 2K will be release in the PC market. I know PC market is not that much of a big pie, compare with Xbox and PS, but its still a few million dollars pie. EA f*ck up this pie for so long I bet 2k is aware on the gripes we have for EA. Now see the thing is, the reason why is was not release is perhaps the pie, the PC pie for NBA 5 on 5 is just not attractive enough to get their attention. And perhaps they have no idea how desperate we are here. I think, its important for us to really unite together and really bring this matter up to them.

The effective way to get 2k attention, I felt... from a corporate stand point; is to take this matter to the big boss. Yes, take it to the CEO, I need to ask some questions here, to my fellow NBA live-rs, anyone know where the 2k sport headquarters are and who their CEO is? I think we ought to start a petition. I remember last year we had a petition to bring 2k to PC and a lot of us sign on it. Somehow it did not work as we see NBA 2k 2008 was not bought to the PC platform. The idea of us starting a petition is good. Just look at us last year when we petition EA to come out with a patch for NBA live 2007. I think couple of medias even mention that us on the petition. I think somehow under the pressure on the media and our petition, EA only then was compel to come out with the patch. That shows one thing, if you don't bring the dirty laundry under the light, EA just won't a f*ck on how crap is their product is.

This is what I think, do it again for an online petition, but this time be more specific. Posting just your email on a forum, I do not think 2k will take us seriously.

This is what I suggest the petition should look like:

Petition to bring NBA 2k to PC
Name: Sean Martin
Country: Malaysia
Age: 29
PC software and hardware: Windows XP, dualcore 2, ATI radeon x1300 video card, 2 gig ram.
email: mrtistrm@yahoo.com

Plan: Anyone can start up a dedicate site, where people can add their petition rather than post in a forum? In that manner the statistic collected are more accurate and is a more convincing number. If we can have a dedicated site, it sure does give a creditabilty to the site and show 2k sport we really mean business. Then, anyone who knows the physical address of 2k sport can just print out the petition and post it to them. Or email their CEO email... anything to get their attention.

I also suggest that the petition is to be bought to the attention on the media. This will definitely get EA and 2k attention. This will not only shame EA for robbing our hard-earn cash for years, and also, hopefully... will prompt 2k sport to really make a game for PC.

This is what I suggest the petition entry should look like:

Petition to bring NBA 2k to PC
Name: Sean Martin
gender: male
Country: Malaysia
Age: 29
PC software and hardware: Windows XP, dualcore 2 processor, ATI radeon x1300 mobility video card, 2 gig ram.
email: mrtistrm@yahoo.com

With a full detail like this, this petition will look legitimate.

Now, one thing is that I know, by proposing all of these its better that I do it myself. Unfortunately, I must apologize because I really don't have the time, or know-how and know-what to do this. All I can offer is just an idea. Im a passionate NBA live gamer just like everyone, but EA really just dissapoints me for too many times. I have support EA for all these years and still playing 2005 because 06 and 07 is just too much of a joke.

In the meantime, anyhow got the latest roster patch for NBA live 2005?

dunno if you already have this info,but after a quick search i discovered...

2K Sports is a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and it is a publishing company comprising of two development studios, Visual Concepts and Kush Games.

Take a word of advice, DONT BUY ANY GAMES FROM EA SPORTS, they SUCK PERIOD!!!!!

[McDwyane]

Really many guys who have bugs

[manlove]

the time out and end of quarter bug is involving the animation where players are going back to the bench, shuoldnt be hard to fix with an official patch, anyway thanks god this is not affect in any way the ONLINE game because that animation was cut off the online game

anyway i noticed that during the opposite second free throws the player you own WILL NOT run to the basket to get the rebound, he totally freeze while the cpu steals the rebound for others 2 points, thats happens if you press turbo boost buttor or not, indiscriminately

another thing i noticed is that you cant play online match with edited rosters, it gonna reset the rosters all the time, thats why you have to copy the rosters you wanna use on online games into ORIGINAL DB folder so you can get edited rosters for your online matches

thats happens also with slides (the interception one is terrible)
any idea how can i set different slides for online matches because if i gonna change them into the game, it gonna reset them all the time i play online

RANCID, to play with your editied rosters online in RANKED mode. do the following.

go to your my docs folder nba live saves, back up your orginal just in case. delete the originaldb. after that, go back to your saves folder and RENAME that edited roster "originaldb". you should be able to play with edited roster online EVEN IN RANKED MODE. i learned this from 07. thx
