NBA 2K9 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

IGN has posted their hands-on preview of NBA 2K9.

Quote:
"On the court you'll notice tighter animations and an even greater sense of control. The breadth of moves has been expanded quite a bit with several new dunks and layups on display in our game between the Knicks and Celtics. There's now something called Reel Maker which compiles a short list of replays and cuts them together into a pseudo-montage, cut together with music playing in the background. Because of that, the frequency of Action Replays has been scaled back considerably."
Platform: PS2 / PS3 / Xbox 360

Thanks for the link. I can't wait to see some videos of people running 5-on-5. My squad is going to be abusing people online. My court leadership is phenomenal!

Great find Muzy that new defensive mechanic sounds great. It looks like its something that can be used to counteract all those crazy bullet passes into the paint. Can't wait to see this stuff in action.

. Players can use deny defense, but run the risk of having the player they're guarding push by them in a quick cut in the opposite direction. The push and the deny defense are totally user controlled and need to be used wisely.

When the player on offense makes that cut the man on defense can tug on his jersey to slow him down. Do it too long and the refs will spot it and whistle you for a foul..

Derrick Rose face is perfect and Boozer's doesn't look that bad either.
