    In reply to NBA Live 10 and NBA 2K10: It's Fargin' War
    I'm sorry, but this is not 2K's "gala 10th anniversary year."

    Count with me, kids!

    NBA2K = #1!
    NBA2k1 = #2!
    NBA2k2 = #3!
    NBA2k3 = #4!
    ESPN NBA Basketball 2k4 = #5!
    ESPN NBA2k5 = #6!
    NBA2k6= #7!
    NBA2k7 = #8!
    NBA2k8 = #9!
    NBA2k9 = #10!
    NBA2k10 = ...gasp. #11!

    And yet, they have "10th anniversary" splashed all over the boxes. Is basic math a problem for basketball players? Or did somebody drop the ball in marketing last year and they're hoping nobody will notice this year? #nba2k10

    LOL. The kid recording on #10 is just as hilarious. He turned his camera trying to get the backside of the receiver.

    What do you call those "gamers" who twists their whole body with every turn and every jump?. I had a roommate who needed a whole goddamn couch to play Prime because he would literally swerve his controller and body.

    The NFL did something similar with their jersey's

    there is a player by the name of Randall Gay (used to be with the Pats, but I think he's with the Steelers now?) whose jersey you couldn't buy online because it was a "bad" name.

    This is a bit excessive but this is also a computer that doesn't discriminate that's doing this; hard coded rules are about as objective as you can be on the matter. There's no "human mind" to run filtering through to say "we'll that doesn't sound so bad...". People can't certainly expect a fleet of people checking a game which will sell in the millions whose player rosters will have dozens of player names using the sensibilities of a well-informed homosexual person... it ain't gonna happen. We either live with *this* or we open the flood gates and hope the community can police itself.

    Poor Microsoft... they will eventually allow for sexual orientation style naming and as sure as I am alive, they will be sued by someone claiming a hate crime was committed against them. That's just how we humans are. I seriously doubt that GLAAD speaks for all homosexual people out there and I'm sure that even for those that they speak for (just like straight folks), there are litigious gay people who will find offense.

    When people do report offenses, I wonder how many will feel that the teem of hundreds around the world on LIVE will be able to processes hundreds of thousands of complaints a day. How long until someone feels that MS just doesn't care and finds a starving lawyer to take their case.

    Unless we can come up with an AI that understands human sensibilities, we will never filter the internet. Seriously, try telling a computer that "A$$" isn't nonsense :( Tell it that it is and watch "A$$$" come along. You either allow people to type "ass" and be done with it or just say we will do everything we can to ban "[anything that looks like an A][anything that looks like it will make a look like ASS]*$". Hell, even regular expressions aren't here yet and Unicode is a large character set. You'd think opening the flood gates is a more logical conclusion but Corporations hate getting sued and people love to sue :(

    If people were built better then we wouldn't have to worry about these things but unfortunately we are built like people and because we know this, we compensate with technology.

    sometimes last names are very unfortunate.
