    surprised EA didnt do that, they obviously thought about it...maybe we can get steve to ask them that in the interview later this fall

    but carmelo had to get a cover...stand out season
    Jason Richardson used to do a lot of the motion capturing for the 2K games so that could be a pretty good reason, I think as recently as 2K3 in fact. Those kind of deals usually last a while.

    I think as far as marketing is concerned from a business standpoint, Carmelo was the obvious choice. They already had him signed to a deal so no need to bring in anyone new, but thats best for the other thread.

    I think the first thing I will do with the game is what I always do. Fix rosters and play a couple of exhibitions to get used to the feel for the game, maybe playing with some sliders along the way. Give the new allstar weekend a couple of runs. Check out the new dynasty to see how improved it is. Continue to tweak rosters and watch CPU vs CPU exhibitions and a dynasty to my hearts delight. In fact, I still do that last part with 2004. I just got finished fixing EVERYBODY's ratings based on last year's stats (they are SUPER accurate now) and I also just finished creating the 91-92 Bulls, with the 86-87 Lakers on deck.

        I'll probably edit my Bobcats' starting lineup and play a game against the New Orleans Hornets.
