I don't know what to do now. I don't like skill stick but I always liked the sliders in 2K. Made the opponent as tough as you wanted and created the most realistic experience for me. So I stuck with 2K 07. No skill stick, realistic game. I was happy to hear that 2K was offering a simplified version for simpletons like myself but holy cow what happened?! Can't change view of game play? Seriously? Player animations after goals are silly and robotic. Players sort of look like they're supposed to represent...sort of. The whole experience feels like a game from about six years ago, with really deep stats. There's no help menu from screen to screen, instead hints cycle down at the bottom of the screen and you have to wait for the item you're looking for and if you miss it, you have to wait for it to cycle again. I used to swear by EA but the lack of difficulty pushed me to 2K. Now the game play has dropped so much I may have to figure out a way to make EA tougher! I'm going to try NHL 09 and if the AI is as notoriously simple as its always been I'm getting back my 2K 07!
