Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

As far as changing your shot in mid air...is this only for layups and dunks, or can u do a double clutch off a regular jumpshot?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

hey pared, can you comment about some of the things from OS Steve's Quick Hitter impressions?

, the comment about him noticing players slapping the backboard on layup attempts and / or shot block attempts. have you noticed this? can you give some example or more information on what this is like, and some of the other random little things you've seen?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Have you ever play NBA2k7?? How does the speed compare to that game?? And how responsive is the button press...2k8 isn't that responsive and slow to me.

It's in between. Better than 2k8 but not as responsive as 2k7. It's responsive but I think they have a good balance here. But it's not exactly like 2k7. What I didn't like about 2k7 was that you could do almost whatever you wanted regardless of the D.

Pared can legends be moved to a current team roster? I hope they added it this year, it will sure help out with creating classic and all-time teams. Thanks again.

Have to wait until later...

This is great stuff.

Reposting because I think you just missed seeing it.


Does the CPU exploit mismatches on the offensive end?

Looks like I just saw one. I had Stromile Swift on Eddy Curry and they went down low to him back to back. 2nd time they got the And 1.

Does the CPU change their defensive match ups to get top defenders on the elite offensive players?

I'll keep an eye out.

Are there any bad passes that are thrown directly out of bounds?

Mostly full court passes, like last year.

Are you getting any transition opportunities against the CPU 2 on 1, 3 on 2?

Not yet. But I'm also not running.

Does fatigue seem to be done well?

Need longer quarters to tell... only playing 5 min quarters to see teams.

Guys... Mets game just started... will be back later.

Try not to kill me with a ton of questions. Try and pick about 2 or less to ask me each and I'll get to them when I can... It's hard answering 6 questions or so in one post. I appreciate you guys not spamming, however.

Be back after the game (and hopefully in a good mood!)

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

-Are last year's Hornets jersey's in the game?

-How is the Fastbreak Passing?

-Can you practice against other teams with them actually defending?

-Can you pass the ball off a layup?

-Is the Isomotion still pulled up without pressing any trigger?

-Does the CPU play zone defense?


Thanks a BUNCH!

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

1.Does it feel natural and responsive to adjust your shot in mid-air?

2.How's the isomotion, are you able to break down the D with crossovers, and does it feel responsive and smoother than 2k8?


3.How's the practice mode? Do the teams practice in their own arena?

Thanks.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

-Players move off the ball SO WELL. They just do what they should. Make off-ball cuts and such. I'm not calling plays. They're just moving around. Big men come up and set picks, guards backdoor cut after passes... WOW!

I just had to skip ahead and comment on this.

The only replay I have saved from 2K8 is a play with Rudy starting out on the right side of the court, I gave it inside to Darko to backdown, dished it to Miller at the top of the key, zipped it to Conley at the high post just as Rudy was independently coming towards Conley from under the basket (in other words behind Darko's man through the middle of the post). So when I hit X, Conley just handed it off to Gay, who I then looped around Conley (tangling my trailer and Conley's man both up with Conley and Darko) for a sexy tear drop.

Hopefully with the players standing around doing nothing a whole lot less I can do some more of that damage online to counteract whatever cheese gets discovered.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

How does the isomotion feel, is it better than last year?

[sportsdude]

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

what control options are there and can you customize your own controls?

[lathrowback]

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Last year teams had specific PA announcers, will the announcers be on all the time?

Is there a create a shoe feature?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

How does the foot planting and transition animations compare to last years game, as well as 2K7? Watching some videos, it seems like they've takin a step backwards in this area. I saw a few instances in the recent vids where a user would pumpfake and turbo out of the triple threat at full speed and basically blow right past the defender, which reminds me a lot of the 2K7 days when foot planting wasn't so great. Can you comment on this?

Also, can you fake passes?

1 more thing.

How has the lock on D changed from last year? Do you still lock on with the trigger, and does the CPU help you stay in front of your man? They brought back the ability to contest shots without jumping. Is this done automatically by the cpu when your in position or locked on, or is this something done manually?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

1. Can I borrow the game for the week jk

2. Regarding Match-ups, when you change your match-up on the fly with the d-pad, say you put your SF on the opposing teams PG, does the game automatically change back to your PG guarding the opposing PG after a play or two? That happened very often in 2k8.

3. When you get a nice basket, does you player and his teammate start showing off by say like slapping hands with each other, and in the process are you able to command the animation to stop so you can get back on D? In 2k8, you weren't able to do that at times which allowed opposing user to get a fastbreak.


Thanks

Shouldnt you be changing your sig?


Pared, what if any are the consequences for constantly pushing this issue off driving to the paint?

Are there a good amount of reaching fouls? I heard something about after the third swipe its an automatic foul that would be cool, is that true?
