Morris Almond - MIP

Kobe lost out to DWade, AI and Brandon Roy for the SG position on the All NBA teams (1st, 2nd, 3rd) Don't know about that considering his stats... go figure.

Magic beat the Suns 4-2 in the NBA Finals. D Howard MVP.

Mutombo finally retires lol

Coaches retired: Dunleavy, Sloan, Karl and Adelman.

There's a lottery countdown. Gives you the %'s beforehand.

Doesn't look like you can edit the draft class after the first year. I COULD HAVE MISSED IT but I didn't see it.

No draft show or anything.

All-Star game the following year is in the same location (Phoenix). Kobe made the starters this year.

did the schedules change he second year? That sux that the All-Star game is in the same place, so every year we have to play the all-star game in Phoenix?

Quick Hits: (Includes association stuff)

You can choose up to 8 players to control a team in association.

Season Length: 29, 58, or 82 games.

You can play any game using the NBA League Pass.

Seems like you can change player roles 11 times throughout a season. So yes, they're editable.

No comeback AI from what I saw. I'm still on All-Star level.

NBA.com shows article headlines. Clicking on one will take you to either the player's card, a box score or upcoming game. The headlines all seemed accurate though.

Drills are very similar to CHoops drills.

Looking at the AS votes... I hate that Yao isn't the leading vote getter.

Kobe doesn't make the All-Star game. He's not injured either. He has 43 games played out of the 52 games the Lakers have played. Monta Ellis and AI got the nod over him... says he is DQ'd in the League leaders in points as well but he has 27.2 ppg... no idea what's going on here. He's not hurt and had 43 games played... maybe there is a limit? No clue. He had a sprained toe at one point... maybe anyone injured doesn't qualify?? I really don't understand this. He appears correctly in team stats as the leader but it seems for some reason he can't qualify for the League Leaders and All Star games so far...

Celtics are 26 - 29 at the AS break... despite their big 5 having played almost all of those games. They're in 2nd and Nets in 1st...???

You can hire/fire coaches throughout your association.

I'll finish going through the first season.

I meant are player roles editable outside of dynasty mode. And also how are minutes? Does Matt Carroll play around 25 MPG? Is Manu still a 6th man and not a starter?

Pared, thanks for taking the time away from enjoying the game to answer questions from those who are eagerly anticipating the game.

In regards to the ASG being played at the same venue, is it possible to manually choose an arena before the ASG?

Wow. Don't know how I did that. I was thinking Matt Carroll for the bobcats. My bad. And if you can edit roles then do those roles stick for the whole year?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

You know.. I'm not sure if I can hit Triangle and change the ASG arena. I'll have to try that.

thats terrible news. ID'04 had that in there. one of the greatest little things about that game. after year 3, you didnt know where the venue would be. you would just load up the game and see one of the 30 nba venues in there.. same halfcourt logo as the year before, but the year changed on that logo to correspond with the franchise year. even the same jerseys, but that venue change was just soooooooo something to look forward to.. I cant give 2ksports a pass on that one. it has NEVER been in the series and its still highly unacceptable to not be there.

one question for you Pared. its regarding END of game highlights. Not the new cutscene stuff (thats just awesome) but the signature highlights, top 3 highlights and jordan brand player of the game... Have you seen any rebounds or FT attempts among those highlights? Id love to see more assists or other intangible stuff like blocks and steals among those highlights. Just wondering if you noticed any of that new stuff. For the top 3, were any of the late game tiebreakers or game winning clutch shots in there for the mavs game you had going? thats the sort of stuff that wasnt shown in the top three last year.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

No rebounds or FT's in end of game highlights. Blocks, shots and passes are there, if memory serves me right...

Reason asking, the box info of 2k8 said support 1080p. However when i played it down graded to 720p

. Also what is t.v

calibration? I have a sony full hd bravia lcd. the one that came out in 2006.

Just wanted to let you know that 2k8 plays at 1080p as well but you have to go into your PS3's settings and "uncheck" 720p as one of your supported resolutions.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

I apologize if this have been asked before but I don't want to go through 12 pages.

Are there PSN Trophies? Can you add custom soundtracks?
