NBA 2K9 Screenshots (Worthplaying)

[joel0078]

The screens look great. They may not be up to par with the teaser videos, but I don't see much of a difference.

People need to stop being so biased about one game or the other. How about being a grown up and playing both games for what they are worth. Don't not like new versions of Live or 2K because the last time you played it, you didn't like it. Play both games each year and then decide whether or not one game isn't for you. No one persons opinion is anymore valid than the next.

That's ONE of the reasons that we have forums. Just please keep in mind that everyone has a right to their own opinion... ANYWAY, I'm liking the pics so far. I am not a graphic "ho" (I still remember thinking mario brothers were the greatest looking thing when they came out) so as long as the game play/association 2.0 is good, then I'm happy...

Word! I remember being in awe of Mario Bros. when I 1st played it on my parents floor model television lol

I said it b4, perception is everything and I think a lot of the younger cats on here are just spoiled by the high quality technology available now and don't know any different

I know some people who didn't like GTA when it 1st came out cause they thought the graphics sucked but I was stuck on the gameplay and the story. Graphics are nice but they aren't everything...

There's nothing grown up about playing videogames. They bring the kid out of all of us. Mature and immature.

If 2k dont fix that sliding crap they got with their player movement I will not buy 2k this year..Will be the first time..Hopefully they fix that crap..

If 2K's main problem is that sliding, it means that 2K is the best thing you can wish for. On the other hand, there are some games out there that have the ENTIRE gameplay broken and no one even thinks of fixing it... just to put things in perspective...

With that said, it is obvious that VC hasn't been tweaking/adding to the engine enough since this gen started as its basically the same engine since 2K6 and all the jaggies that popped out at me in last years game made that painfully clear. I like what I saw in the teasers from a graphical standpoint and want the game to come as close to that as possible, again if I actually had some real-time direct feed footage to go off of, then maybe I dont make that comment but THOSE screens dont look as good/rich.

Of course they probably used the exact same engine from a year ago and tweaked it. What do you expect them to do? These companies have less than a year cycle to work on a game which is not nearly enough time to complete and polish a new engine. These games would have to take a year off to do something like that. That's why Madden/Live/2k are basically using the same old engines with tweaks.
The game was considered by many to be the best sim ever so why tamper with that? You are entitled to your opinion though.

I know you and sage had no ill intent in your replies, but just for clarification:

The idea I was trying to get across is to act like a grown up when determining how you (not you specifically) are going to portray yourself when expressing your opinion about anything, but specifically in this case, a video game. I am 30 years old, married and I have a full time career. I am a mature, grown man and I play video games. But I am also a basketball FAN and I enjoy playing both the Live and 2K series, as they both have their respective good and bad aspects.

You won't find me spewing a biased hatred to one game or the other, just because I'm "loyal" to either game. There is far to much of that going on in these forums.
