Haven't posted here in a while. Been waiting for some news.
I am excited about these new features. I like the 2k insider over the live 365 feature mainly because it uses a human element. I think the 365 feature is just too much.
Love the screenshots as well. Want some gameplay videos, but if you can hold out till october 7th, you won't spoil the surprise like we do for every other game.

Next big thing for the nba2k series I think would be a new graphical/animation engine.

Call me negative, but i dont trust 2k to manually update rosters, ratings, and tendencies. Not to mention that they will be juggling this with adding brand new animations.

In theory the human touch may make it less rigid than Live (ex. Just because Dwight Howard is averaging less rpg than Dirk Nowitzki in the last 2 weeks doesnt make Dirk a better rebounder. In Live Dirk's rebounding attributes may be recieve a big boost in one of the weekly updates. The 2k insider would probably hold off for a while until it becomes obvious that Dirk is really rebounding the ball well.), but possibly at the cost of efficiency. Im also skeptical that the 2k insider is gonna drop Lebron's rating if he is having the worst season of his life.

Hopefully, the fact that this guy is doing it everyday will allow him to keep up. I just hope he has a nice sized team helping him because the second he falls behind people are gonna get mad and say Live's 365 is better.

I know what you mean as far as the trust factor, because last year was not 2K's shining moment in trust as far as roster updates and things like that. But I am willing to start them out with a clean slate and forget the past, move on!

Are we going to need an Xbox Live Gold membership to keep with all of this though?

I hope not, although it is more than likely that we will need one =\

Believe it or not I am actually hoping that we don't have a demo because I want to be so frickin excited for the game and not know a single thing, for example last year's demo when it came out I got so used to playing it that when the actual game came out I was not filled with the same joy or excitement as I was when the demo came out.

So as hard as it may be for some people, 2K I hope you don't release a demo. Instead a few gameplay videos would be even better.

What do you mean? They have the correct stuff apparently.

I mean, that we're stuck playing with their ugly *** logo, (likely) jersey, and color scheme.

Re: NEW Screenshots: association 2.0 & more

I have to agree that the 2K Insider is going to have a lot on his plate, and I'm hoping he can handle it. Also, I'm hoping he keeps the animation and attribute suggestions separate, so 2K won't have to sort through loads of suggestions with all of it consisting of both attribute and animation suggestions. The inclusion of new downloadable animations has me incredibly excited.

This would basically mean that the game will almost NEVER be stale, you will constantly see new animations as the months go by as you're playing this game. I'm just curious to know how many and how often they will release (animation packages?) throughout the year, since this feature could obviously blow up in 2Ks face if they can't get them out in a timely fashion.

You mean you don't like the whole NBDL theme that they got going on?
