It just seems like they keep stating that amount as a marketing tool to make us all believe that's how many they actually captured for this year's game; when they may have only used a third of them for this version.

yeah you can say its being used as a marketing tool but 2k is giving u the new direction its going in sports gaming. out with the old animations and in with the new animations for future series

Especially with a guy like Dwight Howard! What got my attention was cancelling the double team.

Great read!!! If the defense is anything like the combine, with a slight touch up here and there, then 2k10 should be lovely. I like that they fixed the double teaming.

[ehh]

This sounds great but I am a little skeptical. If 2K comes through with all these "under the hood" changes they are talking about then it will be very hard to pass on this game.

i dont know why cause u do that in 2k9. i needed some more detail when they said that cause u can do it last year and cancel the double team before the guy gets close the person you trying to double team. maybe now you can be lock in the double team and cancel then that would be an improvement but if not then its been there done that fever

Can we finally challenge a shot without jumping is the question

I didn't believe my eyes when the shot clock was running down and my defender put up his hands and the 3 pt shot was blocked by that defensive stance!!! Huge improvement in that it works this year. However it still stinks you can't move while your hands are up...2K fix that please.

Of course you are. A lot of these defensive changes are already in the combine.
