NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

Re: NEW NBA 2k9 info ( dont say i've never did anything for you lol)

Because it didn't work perfectly, it was terrible the way they had it in nba2k5. Why would you need to pause or stop anything anyway?

Well for one yes, their custom soundtracks for menu music did work perfectly and was like every other VC game that used it (NFL2K5, NHL2K5 etc.) however I was talking in general terms from the developer themselves (2K/VC) in things they were able to pull off before. You are right in that their arena music was pretty bad but thats why its such a let down for me because it looks like its yet another year of them not even ATTEMPTING to redeem themselves or by taking a feature that was very good for its time (it was VC's sports games that used the feature on XBOX1 to its fullest and the very reason why 360 had it built in) and not bringing it into this generation of consoles. Maybe Im wrong though, maybe its just a US feature, who knows but by reading the back of the box, it aint looking good.

PS: I would constantly have to stop and start it because I dont want "MENU MUSIC" playing during the on-the-court part of the game. I want everything to que up at its proper time.

I'm not talking about menu music, I'm talking about the arena music.

I'm not talking about menu music, I'm talking about the arena music.

Then I suggest you try to understand where a person is coming from before you go off responding to them. As I said in my first post "custom soundtracks/arena music". From reading the box this game has neither so I cant see your argument either way. However, really dont understand how effective you think arena music will be by just making a playlist on ones PC and streaming it... it would resemble nothing like what you hear in a real arena and would take me completely out of the experience.

i think you guys are going overboard with what hourly updates mean

-it won't be able to create players that weren't already in the game for you

-it won't update ratings

-why would it update injuries? so you can't use a certain player ingame?

-it won't player update hairdos and accessories

it feels like i'm reading the 2k boards with some of the suggestions you guys are tossing out

since 2k is linked with nba.com they can easily track rosters and automatically update them. it has no way of doing any of the things listed above. those things will be added/changed via patches where they have to manually do it.








p.s. accessories? really?

You hit the nail on the head with this post.

This live update stuff will no doubt be a pile of bollocks.

Anyone seriously thinks that some schlep at 2k is going to edit equipment of players & add CAPs for missing players?

Unfortunately the community guys will do a FAR better job at that stuff then 2K ever will, even with this so-called live update stuff.

And you won't be playing online with the "community guy's" edits.

Have some faith, people. If it bothers you that much that someone doesn't have the correct color baller bands... well...

If they finally give us good editing options I know I wouldn't care. I wouldn't expect the developer to get everything right. Just give me the option to get it right if I chose to do so

This hourly update thing sounds like it has failure written all over it.....

Re: NBA 2K9 "Back of the Box" Detailed Information

Because I said so.

Seriously though... they know EA's touting this feature and they're setting themselves up to at least equal it.

But again, if you're more concerned with a change like a half-arm white shooting sleeve to a black full-arm shooting sleeve... well... I don't think anyone will fill that need.

Upon further inspection, that back of the box pictures looks fake. Typo; "Prove your one of the best". You think that wouldn't get past someone before shipping out? It only having the 1st batch of pictures that were released to media. KDRE saying he doesn't recall the KG pointing picture..

NOBODY except 2K knows specifically what the updates will and will not cover. I think we all need to slow down a bit and just wait and see.

Not directed towards the above quote, but its amazing how people find things to complain about even in the midst of potentially GREAT news. The fact that 2K has even recognized the lack of roster updates as an issue and is seeking to address that is a POSITIVE thing. Its rediculous how ungrateful some people are.

This is how I feel about the draft classes. I boggles my mind that every year in the past it was something terribly wrong with them yet they never allowed us to simply edit the way the looked coming out of CHoops... had they done this all would have been fine, instead they they leave us stuck with alien looking players with orange skin and black **** around their lips.
