NBA 2K9 Video Footage (Multiplayer.it)

btw... end of the quarter highlights = sickness


Presentation wise, the only place 2k is lacking is in the commentary department (as of this video) but I can deal


damn, I'm really digging that end of the quarter highlights... nice lil touch... it actually picked the good plays, i wonder if one or 2 of the highlights shown will be a celebration or players talkin amongst themselves... that would take it over the top

It appears that most of the improvements to the animations were very subtle, hopefully they put a lot more work into drastically improving the majority of the animations. Overall, I'd say its shaping up nicely, although I'm a little worried that all the praise and success this franchise has had over the years has maybe gotten to the heads of the 2K developers, and they may be resting on their laurels a bit. Vague comments from the producer suggesting they don't have to make very many improvements bothers me a bit.

nice post

Me 2, but it is a early build, Live is killing it right now, no wonder 2k9 has been quiet with videos.

Looks really good as always. I like how the players running around the floor trying to get a good look. But I think I'll be picking up Live this year. Just because I want something fresh.

I agree, the oop to Garnett before the 1st Q ended -- CLassic ( no crowd reaction)

The thing i hate about 2k8 was some after-basket celebrations are out of place. Hopefully they fixed this on 2k9

I also see some players sliding...New animation they added, and it doesn't look appealing IMO.

Looks pretty good to me for a early build, commentary is horrendous! Game flows nicely, player models look better and more detail, stadium looks more alive. I like it a lot.

Definitely a purchase on day 1 along with Live. Fix the damn commentary already. 2k basketball hasn't been good since NBA 2k2 on DC.

I meant the presentation / commentary. Not the game.
