    In either case, I'm glad it's in the game.

    I was thinking the same thing, thats impressive that you can already anticipate (or add after suggestions) exactly what your fanbase was asking for.

        Nice graphics, Boozer doesn't look quite like himself but is a huge improvement over last year's face

          I hope they have more headbands. Pierce's looks like an old one, and they've only had one option for so long. I was playing NBA Live 2005 the other day, and I noticed how many more choices they had for headband patterns and colors, and it was unbelievable. They did it for socks, shoes, and goggles, too.

          A little off topic, but anyway... Everything looks great, and you gotta love the player models. I'm still wondering about the online feature that will blow us all away, but we'll see.

          And THANK YOU for leaking the new Hornets jerseys. Live leaked the new Timberwolves jerseys, and the new T'Wolves and Kings jerseys showed up on Getty Images. But no one had leaked the Hornets jerseys yet, and I'd like to thank 2K Sports for that. They look tremendous, by the way (in the game and probably what they'll look like in real life).

              I don't know about you, but I am incredibly impressed with the screens, since 2K has been the one that always messes up the faces, and these screens show otherwise.

                    The player models are amazing especially the Derrick Rose one. Miles ahead of 2k8. The skin textures are spot on. Boozer looks like Carl Crawford lol

                      As much as I am interested in NBA Live 09 new features, I know I can always count on 2K to give me the goods. October can't come soon enough.

                        The textures do look great but the logos and #'s are stiched in so they wouldn't have those holes in them

                          I wonder if this push/pull defense feature will replace the lock on D? It sounds kind of cool, hope its implemented for offline play also. The 5 0n 5 online feature sounds, great, but I want more news about the offline gameplay, features, and impressions.

                            No, it won't replace lock on D...Thats still in the game. Just refined.

                                Well it looks like we will finally get off the ball fouls in the game now that players will be pulling, holding, and grabbing jerseys. I wonder if this is tied to if you select to have the defense set to tight d in the coach settings on specific defenders when playing against the CPU or a friend, and if they are too agressive the ref will call a foul on you.
