Again with the talk of no more awkward moments...so are injuries done proper now? No more players moving away from the injured but rather have them check how the player is doing?

Getting your My Player invited to the 3pt or dunk contest mid season is gonna be sick. Good to hear they're working on the defensive part of it. 2K8's footplanting and defensive control was the best to date imo

1. While some may believe it's a trivial facet of the game to work on, I'm encouraged to hear they're attempting to clean up those in-between animations, where a player scores, turns into a glitchy robot for a split second, then performs a celebration. I feel this is a very necessary alteration and it had to occur sometime, so I'm glad to see the energy put forth. If done correctly, I think this could really change how the game looks.

2. Boenisch mentioned most other games only offering small, relatively insignificant bonuses as pre-orders (he referenced a weapon a person levels up from in an hour). I think there's a reason for that: other companies don't want to screw the consumer out of important content. Now, whether consumers believe the All-Star Weekend to be important or not is up for debate. However, I still find it unfortunate that many folks (like my brothers, who must wait until Christmas) will miss out on something they really want, only because they do not pre-order. They're really forcing my hand as well, since I don't enjoy pre-ordering.

3. The idea of having a My Player selected to the All-Star Weekend festivities is expected, but still neat. I also liked hearing there may be an array of classic player dunks available to the user. Unfortunately, it just makes me wonder what could have been, had 2K opted to go with a legitimate control scheme instead of button mashing. What satisfaction will there be in pulling off a Michael Jordan free throw line dunk if all I had to do to initiate it was enter a button code that has zero correlation to the aesthetics to the dunk itself?

I wish they would stop asking about All Star Weekend.

I just want to be able to play more than 10 minutes in the All-Star game if I lead my conference position in votes.

2k isn't answering any other question this early so unless you want the whole interview to be sorry I can't talk about that yet, they have no choice.

You formed your opinion based on a video talking about:

a.) All Star Weekend
b.) Animation improvement
c.) More defensive control

Dude, relax.

Classic June 2K interview: not saying anything other than what we already know. He could have spoken for 2 hours and still keep all the details to himself. The guy knows his job.

Geez people expect to hear an awful lot and there is still over three months until the game is released . To the person who said NBA 2K is turning into Madden, NBA 2K has been better than any Madden this gen or last gen (with the exception of 2005).

most games do start giving out info months before release so people should expect more.

The guitar hero controls I kinda like. I think the learning curve for ASW was too steep the last time they had it. It was more like a Tony Hawk skater game - I don't want to do all that just to make a dunk contest dunk. I don't mind the new controls because ASW in real life and in videogames are supposed to be a fun event, like a party game, so the controls shouldn't be taken too seriously imo. This will invite a pick up and play type of thing for casual gamers - which I think this mode should be about. Shouldn't be too complex, just pick up and play n have fun pulling off crazy dunks. The dunks should be realistic, but the controls don't need to be Tony Hawk-ish to be 'sim.'
