What do you mean? They have the correct stuff apparently.

While the 2K Insider, Living Rosters, and Association 2.0 are big, it's certainly not the entire story with NBA 2K9. The game will also include five-on-five online play for the first time (we hope to get hands-on with this in the near future) as well as little touches like the correct Oklahoma City Thunder uniform and logo (sorry about that, Seattle Sonics fans), improved crowd animations, and more

this game looks so ill but i think 2K should just announce "the big online announcement" as well as show some gameplay vids.

it still looks sick.

Call me negative, but i dont trust 2k to manually update rosters, ratings, and tendencies. Not to mention that they will be juggling this with adding brand new animations.

In theory the human touch may make it less rigid than Live (ex. Just because Dwight Howard is averaging less rpg than Dirk Nowitzki in the last 2 weeks doesnt make Dirk a better rebounder. In Live Dirk's rebounding attributes may be recieve a big boost in one of the weekly updates. The 2k insider would probably hold off for a while until it becomes obvious that Dirk is really rebounding the ball well.), but possibly at the cost of efficiency. Im also skeptical that the 2k insider is gonna drop Lebron's rating if he is having the worst season of his life.

Hopefully, the fact that this guy is doing it everyday will allow him to keep up. I just hope he has a nice sized team helping him because the second he falls behind people are gonna get mad and say Live's 365 is better.

DAmn!! Just what i've been waiting for. 2k9 here i come. i just hope the controls are more responsive than last year and that fast guys can blow by slow guys.

Man this NBA.com ish is INSANE! i think i might finally finish a few seasons in Legacy.. not since 2k1 have i been able to finish one.

Haven't posted here in a while. Been waiting for some news.
I am excited about these new features. I like the 2k insider over the live 365 feature mainly because it uses a human element. I think the 365 feature is just too much.
Love the screenshots as well. Want some gameplay videos, but if you can hold out till october 7th, you won't spoil the surprise like we do for every other game.

Next big thing for the nba2k series I think would be a new graphical/animation engine.

I know what you mean as far as the trust factor, because last year was not 2K's shining moment in trust as far as roster updates and things like that. But I am willing to start them out with a clean slate and forget the past, move on!
