Enough of the fanboy talk, kidding or not. Let's just talk about the games.

No they feel the way they feel for a different reason. I can't tell anyone what to say nor do lol... but I do now want to see both games in motion. That will be the icing on the cake.

Wow. Great preview; tons of info to digest. I like how they're releasing info and things are slowly coming together. Initially I didn't see the wisdom behind the CAP DLC and it's online component, but now I can see a LOT of people wanting to create themselves and playing in pickup 5-on-5 games online. Almost like a true virtual streetball court, if I'm interpreting what they're doing correctly.

The new commentary sounds interesting; wonder if they'll do something along the lines of what's in MLB2K9. Graphics were already great and looks like they managed to improve on that; some of the player faces are near-perfect. My favorite screenshot was the one of the Bulls arena; amazing detail. I think a lot of people missed that they had realtime functioning jumbotrons (or whatever they're called) in '09; looks like they'll expand on that - hopefully they'll show them off in-game more in '10. I like the screen overlay showing it's a Thanksgiving Day game; again already-great presentation should be getting a nice bump up. The constantly changing main screen sounds really cool.

And love all the gameplay enhancements. Improved spacing; better double-teaming mechanic (have to see how it's implemented); the emphasis on signature play... it's all coming together quite nicely. In addition kinda nice that they seem to have addressed so many of the community concerns and shows they're more in touch than some are willing to allow. Looks like the dev team can walk and chew gum at the same time

I think the game looks pretty good. I'm not gunna nickpick someone's face not being as accurate or little non-sense like that. Now, I wish they woulda addressed how they are going to fix some of the on court stuff like the long animations that affect controlling players, at times, that it wonks out and u end up going in a direction u DON'T wanna go.

Maybe some of their 9 trillion additional animations will help fix some of the gameplay probs. Eh. As long as it's a good game, I'm in but I want Live to be good, as well.

Looking really good. The player models still have a little shiny glaze look though. 2K, can you tweak that?

I'm still impressed.

hmm im still iffy about the commentating...they said the same thing last year and it was just added "OOOOOOHHHH" and "AAAAAAAHHHHS" this is one of those things that i need to hear it to believe it...

I'm amazed at the stuff they have done. Graphics look noticeably improved over last year. Can't wait!

I'm pretty sure the graphics are just as good as last years if not better relax everyone.
