Of course they are, but they just want info.

That said, anyone sitting there saying they see a big difference is lying through his teeth unless you're playing on a Sdtv

btw, can anyone recap Jeff's interview

Gamespot interviewing Jeff Thomas right now http://e3.gamespot.com/live.html if anyone's interested.

Still, very vague with the info.

you can tell that pic is 2k9, because of the score ticker. Yes, still very vague info from that gamespot interview.

He basically said, he wants the experience to be awesome from start to finish. talked more about NHL 2k9.

Does that really look any different to you guys?

its one crappy photo, but from that alone, the paint looks too dark. 2k8 was perfect for once. did they revert back to the darker pre 2k8 colors?

real life:


2k8:

-given its a more high quality shot. but FOCUS on the backboard support foam. Thats our reference color. the court and outer part of the court are lighter than that dark foam padding.


bottomline, looking at that reference point in the 2k9 clip, its easy for me to see the darker green.

now the 2k9 shot:

-The backboard support foam is about the same shade or LIGHTER than the dark paint color.

whats up with that? true, they are just colors, but its 2008 where reference shots are easy to come by. ID do the work for free. let me check that stuff out. last years grizzlies paint color was a royal blue. one mouse click and its the designated navy blue.

Re: NBA 2K9 First Look (Gamespot)

Lol y'all are gonna drive yourselves crazy waiting for and analyzing every piece of info that comes out.

I'm not ashamed to admit that that's half the fun for me.

LOL I said it last year because it was true last year.

Like Mo said. It's nothing to discuss. We have no info. We have no CERTIFIED pics/vids. So what is to discuss.

I'm the one stirring up crap? Because I called yall out for dissecting ONE damn picture? LOL You got it

Re: NBA 2K9 First Look (Gamespot)

Wally, all those pics show me in particular is that the players still look too big for the court.

The size proportions seems so unfinished.

Re: NBA 2K9 First Look (Gamespot)

The second picture of 2k9 positives:

Jersey cloth looks better and more detail to the shoes. Other than that, still not diggin the legs.

But wait til we get better photos.

Yeah I agree, and that causes gameplay problems. Too many passes being deflected, not being able to drive because its too cluttered, very, very few open shots, etc.

Re: NBA 2K9 First Look (Gamespot)

better to say something than to let it slide through the cracks again, thats my only intention with why i bring stuff now. a Developer or artist may see my post and make it a point for that correction. simple quick and easy execution.

i do agree its too early to tell with one photo if its actually wrong. but its one still shot. what are we to do with it?
