    Kevin Garnett Talks About New Features in NBA 2K9 (ESPN Videogames)

    Head on over to ESPN Videogames to get the details.

    ""It's a reverse fantasy league," Garnett explains. Seems KG, Derrick Rose, Monta Ellis and a few other NBA stars are going to draft online gamers to see whose team can accumulate the best 2K9 stats and the commercial Garnett is shooting shows some of his real-life best friends from what he calls his Official Block Family begging to be on his squad."

        so after so many ranked games, you accumulate statistics in which you are placed in the fantasy pool and these "pros" choose who they want to run on their team (based largely on the accumlated stats for reference) to go head to head against one another??

        sounds like a top-tier elitest cheese fest where maybe 20 of the "top" guys compete on these teams.... with others fighting for their chance with accumulated stats that can impress others.

        sounds sorta like a clan grouping so to speak.. they could just go that route and also include the nba players teams (as a gimmick). the vast majority cant partake in that aspect though. so maybe they have expanded plans in store

          So much for a Gamespot "exclusive"....

          this is kinda cool I guess but i dont play online much so I highly dont im gonna be on any of the guys draft boards.

          Hopefully you can interact with your star that picked you, like KG could be the coach, yelling at his players through his headset...lol.

            Why does everyone just assume that you could just cheese your way to victory in 2K9? Not one person has played it yet. Who knows, maybe 2K made it harder for people to cheese online.

              But don't they have teammate rankings now? so ppl will sort of know how legit you play?

              Meh, I don't care about online play so I'm not excited if that is truly the big shocking announcement.
              Lol, people get enjoyment from their game in different ways. Why they enjoy one thing over another is not really important. --trobinson97

                The day there is no cheese in these NBA games is the day they perfect gameplay.

                  You can cheese your way to victory in any game if you know the cheese tactics. And a cheeser with any bit of skill at all is a very very dangerous opponent.

                    Thats dumb... If that's the big announcement then it sounds pretty disappointing.

                      The issue isn't cheese, which is a subjective term about what is a fair choice in gameplay. The issue is exploits. Exploits are flaws in the system that break away from the principle of the game. The lead pass in 2k8 is an exploit. Certain dunk animations are exploits.

                      Every game doesn't have major exploits that ruin the spirit of competition. NBA 2k always has.


                      I really hope this reverse fantasy league isn't the announcement. How could anyone at 2k think we'd care about this?

                        Casuals and younger kids will eat this up. If I ever told my brother he could be picked by Tmac(his favorite player) and be on his team, he would go crazy.

                            Yep i never playing fantasy league...not interested. To me it's the same as ONLINE ASSOCIATION...why don't they just focus on ONLINE ASSOCIATION...it is much better and more realistic.
