      Interesting that some guy here actually thinks the live models are pretty good...

      Some people are just into anorexic nba players , I guess...

        as long as the players dont stand around all the time and they actually do stuff and run around screens and setting offscreen picks for each other, i am pretty confident this will be the best game ever. then add more animations in for more knicks players and i will be in heaven. please add jamal crawford this year

          just look at my kg avatar. skinny almost skin tight jerseys on the older xbox games. just enough bulkiness.


          will it affect my gameplaying or enjoyment? no. does it still matter? yes.. i say rehire the art team, no offense. theyve digressed in areas that should only see progress
          I gotta disagree. I think the jerseys finally look right. Last year everyone looked like they had their mom tuck in their jersey for them. They also looked a size too small.

              right when this forum was workd up in a frenzy ready to run up in 2k offices and smack ur favorite marketing rep
              2k drops some bs screens and basically just repeated all the info we already knew aside chuck hayes and everyone is eating off thier palms again.
              half of the ppl were ready to buy live yesterday.
              point is i will not be bamboozled!!! give me game footage or give me death

              BS screens? The images on ESPN.com are taken straight from replays in-game, with the interface off, and that's it. No photoshop, no nothing. That's in-game... and maybe you remember how smooth 2K's animations are? Well, bump it up for this year. Bump it up a lot.

              As for giving you videos... well... let's just say that ESPN's preview is just the tip of the iceberg. And that iceberg starts moving today.

              Hopefully 2k comes through, maybe I'm interpreting it wrong, but does he mean info before the day is over?

                  Billups has the "3" ball icon, but only 2 bars from that spot on the floor. Chalmers is playing loose lock on D, which, if I understand correctly, should be very effective in preventing Chauncy from getting all the way to the rim. So if Billups pulls from that spot right there, Mario shouldn't really be able to make an effective challenge on the J based on his current focus on stopping dribble penetration.
                  Chauncey isn't squared up to the basket. By the time he turns and sets to shoot, Chalmers would have time to step up and challenge.

                      Why would they allow you to see the defensive player's bar?? Isn't it better not the show it and make it more realistic. The user who control the defensive player should be the only one who gets to see the defensive bar.

                          sva91, certain photos and it seems certain situations in 2k9 exaggerate the look imo. ala the spurs photo.
                          here:
                          http://www.2ksports.com/media/images...Calderon41.jpg

                          Its not something Id quit playing a game over. so until gameplay vids come out, this is where my focus is. casual talk over jersey size for a video game lol.

                          compare that with this. in the below photos finley looks normal. im calling it either as the fabric being too sensitive to movement ( its like there playing in hurricane force winds), the jerseys are a tad too big, or a small combination of both.

                            That picture is of 2 humans playing each other. You can tell by the 2 controlled player icons under them and the lock on D icon. The user who is controlling the defensive player IS seeing it there because it's 2 humans. Come on man, are you even looking at the pictures before you respond to stuff about them?

                              When I see Kobe in the background there I always think of this image.

                              Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                                Looks like 2K lost their Reebok liscense for the shoes. I see all guys (AI included) that wear Reeboks have on generics this year.

                                Not a big deal.

                                However, I just hope they allow the user to 'finally' be able to change the home and away shoe colors this year for each team.
