    Its still too soon for that man, they wont give us the final look of the players pics right now


    Wally is a stickler for the colors, and i see guys in the CH2k forums do it all the time, while no one there is called out for it and jSapida responds very graciously and tries to get it done, as im sure they work hard on that


    Im not picking on the colors as much as Wally, but its his thing. I got laughed at for mentioning the pirate planks and the watermelon seed legs, but they worked on that, and it satisfied alot of people.... ALOT

    Stop taking every comment personal and we'll be okay, but its the people who come in and act like each piece of info is a drug that brings the discussion down, OH LOOK AT THAT PIC ITS AWESOME.... well it sucks cuz that guy in the nosebleeds has on a fake gold chain, I can tell from this screen.

    Other than that, people are hungry for info so they're going to analyze anything they can get.

      That's called spacing, and its been an issue for a few years now.

        The spacing issue has been talked about for 2.5 years...I really hope they didn't ignore it and try to mask it with better playcalling execution.

          Yes, sir, I know what its called. I was giving the meaning of the word.

          Anywho, with 80 people in this forum, you'd think they released a 5 minutes vid of CPU v CPU gameplay.

          Nope, just a screen shot with very poor resolution. Crazy the amount of hype.

            LOL, that wasnt even a 2K thing, it was some blog or something

            There are fans of this series here who wait for info, finally get a little bit and its from an old build so the excitement dies, then picks back up for a day with each piece of info, then down then up, you get the picture...

            I understood what you were saying though, and yes hopefully they address the entire thing, new engine, player models, spacing... all of that

              2k8's spacing was much better than 2k7's. If anything there was a lack of passes tipped.

                I don't see why any of us 2K vets are complaining about the lack of info as if this is anything new
                Concrete evidence/videos please

                    While true, and while i acknowledged that in an earlier post already, its still not without its issues.

                    As far as complaints, i've only seen Wally voice his opinion really and its on the same things he always point out...

                    Please don't turn this thread into what people can and cannot say about 2k.

                    In the scheme of things, who gives a cats behind?

                      NBA 2k9 is the only game I give a damn about this year. I'm still playing 2k8 strong. Hopefully we'll get some videos and real info soon.

                        Man, you can say it until you're blue in the face, these cats are going to chase their tails on schedule every year.

                        Now they're talking about textures on a picture where no textures are visible.

                              Glad to see that white headbands are 'finally' in for the Celtics. Hopefully, this is league wide AND the headband colors are editable.

                              BTW, I hope the poor quality of the images is why the court paint is off for the Celtics. It's waaay too dark in these pics and was much better in 2k8, like Ruben said.

                              Lakers paint looks good though.....but the early Sprite advertisement video that was leaked last year had it correct also. And then the final game was screwed up with dark purple paint for Staples Center.


                              I guess we will get clarrification around the 1st of August, when the game will be closer to being finished.

                              Oh yeah..... the crowd looks 10x better in these pics in comparison to 2k8 and they gave Ray Allen White Jordan's for home games instead of black ones!
