Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Did they fix where you can put the subs on manual permanently without having to do it every game

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Thanks a bunch, how is the pick and roll in this game? Like does it work well? And if you could answer about the pick and pop and the pick and roll. Do players roll and pop, do you have the choice to do it, or do they do whatever they want? Like do you see a guy like Okur (or whoever you have played so far) pop? Does he always pop? Is there sometimes when a guy will roll even though his role in the NBA is as a pop guy.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

all i wanna know is, when you first turn it on and play an exhibition, does it feel like the best bball game youve ever played?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Okay thanks. Do you think you could check on my assotiation stuff later? Also are player roles editable in the player edit screen out of dynasty mode? And one more thing. Do bigs that shoot the three like Rashard Lewis shoot them in the game?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Any new isomotion moves?

Any blocks of the backboard?

Have you noticed players clapping on layups?

how is the touch passing?

Any new dunks that stand out and dunking on someone?

On a fastbreak can a player like kobe catchup and get a nice clean block?

No association yet. Later tonight.

2.did you get to play as T-Mac and does he actually have his own dunk package?

Not yet.

3.Is commentary improved from last year?

Yes, but it is still pieced together... if that makes sense.

How does Kevin Martin's jumper look? It was pretty close last year but had a little hitch at the end that I didn't really like.

I'll have to check that later man... once the questions slow down.

you having fun with the game? you see this as potentially the best game ever?? any non nba game fans in your household? whats there thought on the graphics and initial presentation aspect.. that i believe can be a huge selling point, if there wow'd.

-commentary the same o'l after just 1-2 full games?

Commentary has that same feeling but has many more lines. Harlan has some signature lines of his in... They STILL have that "OHHHH" after a dunk. Sounds fake.

-late game AI decent?

Hasn't been close... I've mostly been messing around and the CPU has been up. Crowds get quiet if home team is getting beat big.

-Substitutions ok? full use of secondary positions by the cpu? ie,

Seems so. I've seen one strange sub so far with someone where they shouldn't be but I can't recall.

PG,PG,SG,PF,C in the game, if those five are the best on the squad.
-If CPu dwight howard has 4 straight buckets, will the cpu continue to go down low? or any other player in similiar "hot sreak" situations?

Not enough time. I'll keep looking for this.

-If youre user controlled player has tons of points, will they double quicker and or CHANGE whos guarding you (its a strech lol)?

Def. bring the double faster. Even before they get hot.

-Anymore frequency of off ball fouls? in ID04 for example, just running around into players would cause off ball fouls to occur. none of that mario running in place stuff.

Not sure what you mean

-can you quickly pass and SWING the ball to an open man and truely get an open shot? ie, quick hitting passes.

Yes, with the new queued passing it helps this.

you can answer any or whatever you may choose. just throwing out stuff thats more interesting to me, than a starting lineup of a team that is already in the OS screenshots

BTW, I can't post videos. The other half has the camera.

Only low quality iPhone camera shots and that's not even really worth the effort.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

based on where you got it, do you think it's worth driving around looking to find the game?

**shadio5** · 09-28-2008, 12:18 PM

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

[quote=Pared;2038754742]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.

that dont sound to good pared...matter of fact that screams CHEESE to me. Thanks for the heads up. Im stayin offline this year.

thanks again pared

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

A couple more things

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

And are there any off ball fouls charges called?

**Jano** · 09-28-2008, 12:21 PM

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Thanks for answering Pared, not the answer I was hoping for but the comments on the game's dynamics was very encouraging.

I can't wait to finally play the game myself so I can see all of this stuff with my own eyes.

Pared could you please answer this as this was really annoying last year

**RAZRr1275** · 09-28-2008, 12:22 PM

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

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 does the cpu play zone?

And are there anymore player ratings or tendencies?

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

Thanks Pared, lucky bastard.

I've seen this in 5 minute quarters, the default.

That's what OS is for.

Are the off ball controls relegated specifically to the player lock option?

What do you mean.

Haven't tried.

Pick and roll is great. It's all done with O/B button. Tap to induce a fake pick and slip. Press it induce a real pick. The left stick towards the basket causes a roll and away causes a pop.

Def. can get to association stuff later. Thanks for understanding.

More animations, More post play options... not sure of off the dribble.

Any blocks of the backboard?

YES!

Have you noticed players clapping on layups?

Haven't looked for it.

how is the touch passing?

Very nice.

Any new dunks that stand out and dunking on someone?

I'll keep an eye out.

On a fastbreak can a player like kobe catchup and get a nice clean block?

Yes.

This should go without question. Again, it hasn't been shipped around here yet.
