NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

[juicey79]

I think hourly updates mean that they will have a update within a hour of player movement verification. Thats my thought, and that arena music thing was hot for NFL2k5. They did screw up th queue time for nba 2k5. It would be cool if they can add it in and make it work better than 2k5. I think they understood they screwed it up b/c it wasnt in 2k6. In nfl2k5 i actually bought a couple of espn stadium cd's. It worked perfect.

Then I suggest you try to understand where a person is coming from before you go off responding to them. As I said in my first post "custom soundtracks/arena music". From reading the box this game has neither so I cant see your argument either way. However, really dont understand how effective you think arena music will be by just making a playlist on ones PC and streaming it... it would resemble nothing like what you hear in a real arena and would take me completely out of the experience.

You should explain what you're talking about before you get offended. Either way it doesn't matter since you can have your own custom soundtrack by streaming the music and the arena music setup that they last used for the nba series sucked.

• Styles Upon Styles - New signiture defence styles and more signiture shots, dunks and free throws give you EVEN MORE distinctive player styles.
  
• Team 2k - Prove your one of the 10 best online players to earn a spot in the hall of fame, recieve limited edition memorabilia, and get your name in next year's game.

lmao

Does that mean....

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

To be fair, those typos (the "your" aside) were not on the actual box, just in the first post of this thread. No way 2K would release a box with that many errors on it, though I can see how the "your" could slip by. Mis-spelling signature would never slip past.

Still skeptical until we get confirmation from SimBaller, etc. Grainy-looking box art from Australia isn't enough to make me think this is verified.

Are you serious? I dont have to explain anything... I simply left a comment on a sports message board. Again, you responded to me, not the other way around. Seems to me you dont know the difference between custom soundtrack and arena music, even though I covered both in my original statement. Listen man, if your comfortable with making playlist of songs to play over the entire game - fine, i dont. If I want to feel let down by the fact that they may not have it then thats me.

The typo that I mentioned "Prove your one of the best" is on the box.

Yeah, I noticed that. It's surprising that would slip through still, but it certainly makes more sense than those ridiculous typos in the first post.

Definitely need confirmation on this from 2K before I get excited. Doesn't sound that outlandish with some more context, but this box art isn't doing anything for me.

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

Typo's exist on boxes. Its happened before. Some cats are so scared to be gullable to the point of over scepticism. The other photos do not seem like they could have been doctored, and It doesn't seem feasible that someone would make all this up.

If you look close at those boxes, the same text appears to be there.

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

Of course the same text is there, why would they photoshop a whole new box? You resize and add effects

[eko718]

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

Well, I am pretty much a pro at photoshop and that does not look doctored.

Edit: Additionally, the font would not look that way if it were decreased to that extent(referring to the box on the rack).

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

It's kind of ridiculous that people have to get info about the game like this, you'd think 2k would start showing something by now.

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

I assume the player updates is kind of similar to Live's 365?

I understand what timotim19 is saying and I agree that the Arena Music needs to return if they can do it right like in NFL 2K5. I miss the feature myself also. timotim19 is saying that music doesn't play throughout fully through a game. With Arena Music songs and sounds play at specific times for each action on court like in real life. Custom Soundtracks sucks for this since it cant realize when to pause and start throughout games being played meaning songs are played all the way through and never stops making it very unrealistic compared to watching a real game on TV or being at a game.

sweet Updates by the hour, hehe, beats waiting weeks for roster updates hehe...

Man, I remember the days of gathering the Sports section of different newspapers just so I'd be up to date on my NBA Live '98 game!

Then came the downloading of rosters via official updates and fan-made rosters and then now, hourly roster updates!

Gotta love technology!
