Great article. And I also wonder why 2K didn't pick up Collins as well?

Re: Reaction to NBA 2K9's Feature List

In fact, as much as 2K killed it last year, Live is getting a new start, and I'm going to try all 3 demos (those and NBA 09) before I make a decision.

True enough, but its just funny that every year, Live has been getting a new start

NBA 2K9 > NBA LIVE '11

I just hope it doesn't come down to that and we are forced to play 2K9 for the '10-'11 season thanks to EA

If EA gets their grubby little paws on Take Two and scraps the NBA 2k series, I'm done with gaming.

Re: Reaction to NBA 2K9's Feature List

but my question is how come NBA 2K8 didn't feature a slam dunk competition or 3 point contest?

It did...

Wow.

It helps to actually have played the game before asking questions about why something was out of the game.

I really hate this time of the year when it's close to the new 2K Basketball game to come out because I always get overly excited!

I want to see some new videos, but info will do for the moment I guess.

Yea I would of like him over Kellogg but oh well. I had enough of Kenny Smith so I'm glad he's out.

Re: Reaction to NBA 2K9's Feature List

I don't think there is much doubt to that. NBA 2k8 was so so much better than NBA Live. EA Sports could improve Live 09 200% from 08 and it still would be behind NBA 2k9. The gap, IMO, is just huge.

I disagree. From the features list, I don't see anything about updating gameplay flaws that have consistently been in the game. If 2k9 doesn't address these flaws, I'd rather play the fresher NBA Live.

Its a features list, not a this is what bugs we fixed list. Of course they were gonig to fix some of the annoying things in 2k8. I dont know to what extent they are going to fix it, but i doubt its just going to be 100 percent 2k8 gameplay and nothing else.

Re: Reaction to NBA 2K9's Feature List

Im waiting untill they release some more in depth info on these features before I can really give a reaction to this. So far it looks like very interesting though from what I read. Also I think Live should be much improve from 08 which was just unplayable.

I can guarantee you the developers are committed to eliminating anything cheesy. Year after year we've seen less and less of it and 2k9 will be no different.

Any worries, despite the stellar games 2k has put out the past 3 years, are unwarranted.

I understand you (not you specifically, the board) want videos, pics, stickers, tattoos and everything else in terms of coverage but just sit back and relax... play some other games and enjoy the summer. Let them do their thing and we'll be in store for a treat this fall just like the past 2 years.

I agree that the past 3 games have been very good but I haven't seen the progress in some areas that I would like especially playcalling being tied to positions, pick and rolls, court awareness (taking a long 2 instead of a 3 because a guy's motion forces him to step over the line), help defense, double teams, and more. 2k fixed the lack of fast breaks in their patch to 2k7 and then the problem was back in 2k8. 2k's lack of customer support is only part of the problem.
