Damn dude you missed your morning coffee. I won't do requests like that if it's too much; I actually want to enjoy the game.

Have you played with player lock on? Does the Adaptive AI react when you are using a player off the ball in player lock? Like if you control a bad player, will the better players on the team get themselves looks, or does the CPU PG just go to the top of the 3 pt line and wait for you to get in position to run a play.

CPU PG doesn't do that as much anymore. Dynamic player movement is all the difference... just wait and see.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Thanks for answering all these questions. I just have one.
In 2k8 when I drive the ball and someone was up on me I would do a dumb layup that got blocked most of the time. Are the layups more natural when someone is up on you? Thanks

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

I just want to know this. After playing 2k9 and Live 09, which one is better. And can you rate both games outta 10.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Pared, from what you've played so far, has any players sig shot been changed since last year. I'm actually interested in the Raptor players but generally speaking have most of them remained unchanged?

Thanks in advance.

3. Pick and roll. You can defend it much easier though since your player's hands can actually deflect passes though. But if you keep doing it over and over some will get through, especially if you space out your teammates.

4. Defense is much more active in the lane. Many more turnovers. You have a higher chance of deflecting intercepting a lead pass with the steal button than ever before.

So does this mean that as long as you time it right you can be pretty sure you'll at least influence the direction of the ball? My biggest pet peeve with cheesers is predicting their play, making the right switches and hitting the steal just right, and seeing the ball go through the player's hand or the pass be JUST right to get by, or the jump just a little too short. It feels great when it works, but it doesn't work that often in 2K8.

Can I download Ryu into the game and make him fight Yao Ming!?

Are the rims EXACTLY 10 feet high!? If not, I'm not buying it!

Can Dwight Howard do his Superman dunk!?

Can you see Soulja Boy in the crowd dancing during the Playoffs of a Wizards game!?

........................If not, I'm not buying it!

I'm almost positive that Kapono has a new sig shot. I didn't play with the Raps last year because I couldn't do anything with them. I had a blast with them in 2k9 though! Bosh and JO down low are amazing!

This sort of defense is much more effective in 2k9.

You guys keep me young. That Ryu thing was just WRONG though!

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Hey Pared;

Can you list every single signature thing in the game for me plz? THX! :wink: and just to clarify, this is a joke.

Do you see defensive battles this year? Like if I play against the Cavs, can I expect a double digit game where it is a big time defensive struggle?

Can Z hit the midrange jumper?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Pared - thanks for answering so many questions about the game.

last year there was this wack animation where a smaller guard would get swatted too often if you had a bigger guy on your hip and were trying a layup. if you experienced it you know what i mean. is it still in the game?

**Pared** · 09-29-2008, 12:07 PM

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

I just wrote a few posts above that this was gone this year... I haven't seen it.

**Bucksin06** · 09-29-2008, 12:11 PM
