but we do see a "info" overlay on the bottom of the screen when Parker is shooting the FT.. his school, years pro, etc...

there going in the right direction. but with the new TV presentation and cutscenes REAL stat overlays are a must.


That parker jumpshot looked amazing. look at his feet??

2k9 has so many animations its scary.

btw, steve what level is this? I saw a legitimate USER fastbreak. if this is on all pro or higher, id be ecstatic.

you can also see the CROWD being shut down and silenced? It's 100% possible to not have a huge "playoff" type atmosphere 24/7. making those moments that more exciting when they happen

Thanks for the videos Steve, this was the best one yet. The speed looks good, if 50 doesn't feel right when I get my hands on it, 45 looks like a good spot.

I'm looking forward to learning how to pull off the array of new moves on the shotstick. Hopefully they learned from the past and put in a tutorial or manual for the new shots.

I call flop by Finley on the T-Mac drive at 1:05ish. Speed at 45 seems pretty good to me. This video looked the most natural out of all three. You gotta hit the open man off those screens though. The Parker drive and fall looked awesome. Just like a real game.

It's weird.. The ref bounce passes on an inbound, but still chest passes on a free throw.

Man i can't wait for this game! Playing defense is going to be a lot of fun. Did you guys check out the off ball defense Artest was playing on Bowen? Finally the ability to deny guys like kobe and LBJ the rock!

Looking nice on 45 speed, the game still shows some clunky ball handling animations at the top of the key, but otherwise, it's looking great.

Would like to see more of the Association, maybe a quick video showing the menus, or maybe screens.

TV style stat overlays during dead ball situations and during free throws have been already confirmed for this year during season mode. ie career avergaes, RPG, scoring averages etc.

One of the Devs. explained the details during the developer QA that 2ksports.com did.
