Hey Pared, is it possible to pull of MJ's switch hands in mid-air lay-up? And does the game or manual tell you all the different mid-air shots and how to do them? Thanks again man.

We would love to see this in video Game.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Without a doubt, end of game emotion is INTENSE. Crowd is going nuts.

Dirk hits a mid-range shot with 36.1 seconds to tie it. He used triple threat, got some separation and hit a jumper over O'Neal.

They get the ball back after a missed shot, call timeout and score with 7.4 left on the clock.

I get the ball after a TO and am able to take it in and tie it with Bosh. .5 Seconds left. I tie it, crowd goes silent. TO Dallas.

Crowd slowly starts getting louder towards the inbounds. The CPU inbounds the ball and takes an immediate shot with Stackhouse at the 3. Misses, crowd goes "ooooooooh" and then start cheering as we go to OT.

Crazy.

Nowitzki is 7-12 with 15 pts. 0-1 from the 3 pt Line.

About to finish OT, then I'll get into Association quickly. Gather your questions up because I'm going to do that then watch the NFL game.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Do they still have team-specific PA announcing? ie. deeetroooit baaaasketbaaaaallll...."timeout magic, orlando timeout." etc...have they added any new ones?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Pared before you go to association, could you check the edit player real quick to see if the option to change the entire shoe color from black to white is in the game?

Game still feels like it can be a little twitchy when going head to head. Personally, the speed may feel too slow for some but head to head it's still to fast for me. Feels great against the CPU.

J.R. Smith is a cartoon. He can pull of dunks at will, seemingly, like the complaints from last year. He's the only person I've seen like this though. Kobe is better but still has that "explosion" sometimes... but that's Kobe so I could see it.

LeBron has a lot more acrobatic layups than last year. They're crazy.

If I could ban you, I would.

Lol! I feel you Pared.

Thanks so much for doing this. Here are a few questions. If you know the answer to one that's great but I'm not expecting you to.

2. Do the new ratings and ambition etc. stuff fix the issue where guys like Manu would be starting even when you set them to the sixth man before?

3. Will teams define rotations by skills rather than overall ratings? For example Jason Carroll for the Bobcats is good at shooting 3's and not much else. In 2K's past he wouldn't be playing because his overall was low because that was his only skill. And obviously you guys know that that isn't right. Will this be fixed?

4. Is there an option to controll ALL teams in Assotiation

A couple more things

Do the lakers have Lamar bringing the ball up again or can you set it to the point or kobe?

A few more things.

Is there comback AI? Last year if the cpu was down late game they would come storming back from nowhere.

And are there anymore player ratings or tendencies?

And when you get a chance can you list the new sliders?

Should've put spaces in that last series of questions that you answered and made one of them more clear.

Also are player roles editable in the player edit screen outside of dynasty mode?

Here are my assotiation/player edit questions.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Damn it. Lost in OT. Dirk went off.

Crowd starts chanting MVP when he was at the FT Line.

They also have this little sound when he hits FT's... Not sure how to explain it... but it's one of those sounds that you hear after a made FT. Even a noise leading up to it.

Will jump into association right after I check the Player edit questions.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

haha:P

Could you tell me more about :

Kobe Bryant : [Does his crossovers look good? Does his shot look good?His layups?dunks]

Allen Iverson :[Does his crossovers look good? Does his shot look good?]

Deron Williams: [Does his crossovers look good? Does his shot look good?]

are crossovers effective ? can you actualy get by a defender with a cross.

I need to know about crossovers cuz thats a big factor for me

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

You can assign any sneaker to any player.

Brands: Nike, Adidas, Jordan

There are about 20 different licensed sneakers. You can change the color of each to:

Red, Yellow, Black, Dark Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Light Blue and White.

Generics are solid black.

I can't find any home or away settings. There is a specific setting for Home/Away sock color.

Dirk's 3 pt Tendency is 44 so that explains that.

You can give Kobe that half sleeve by giving him a white small band on his elbow and a white forearm band on his wrist. Overlaps but looks fine in the game.

Will get to Association in a minute.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Franchise Questions

1. How dynamic are the NBA.COM headlines

2. How often are the player images on the headline screen posted up?

3. Can created players be shown in the headline images?

4. How deatiled is the create-a-player?

5. Does the nba.com interface SIGNIFICANTLY add to the dynasty presentation?

6. Do created players' face show up in the player cards or is it still the black sihloutte like last year?
