Re: Nuggets - Suns 2K9 Clip

Man.. half you guys here are crazy, it's not even worth arguing anymore.

Just go compare CPU vs CPU from 2k7 and 2k8, let alone Live, to this.

That was by far the most realistic SIM ball I've ever seen CPU vs CPU play.

Only one dunk during the entire quarter, the defense was really good and he made a lot of mistakes in the post and paid for it by getting his *** blocked.

I don't even think that was the highest difficulty.

Insane game, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

One thing to note, the animations do look a tad quick, some of the jump shot animations happened way too fast after the dribble. It seemed like every player had a really quick release.

Re: Nuggets - Suns 2K9 Clip

Hmm, overall I like what I see. I think it looks fine graphics wise (but then again that's not something I obsess about), but some of the animations look a bit iffy. What concerns me right now is the weird ball movement by the CPU, especially the exchange between Shaq and Amare - also the amount of blocked shots seems too high.

The commentary was so-so and is definately something that needs work in the future.

I too missed stat overlays, but it makes sense that some stats would only be displayed in Association and Season mode - then again I'm left wondering what happened to current game stat-displays. Maybe they are only displayed during freethrows...

Yes in terms of passing, they still had that problem where they kept passing it up to each other, especially when Amare had an open lane at one point and didn't capitalize.

In terms of blocked shots, I have to disagree with you.

If you watch all the times the computers went up, they were all soft shots, they did nothing to set up a move, isomotion, or moves in the post and that's why he kept getting blocked.

You also failed to mention the crisp mid range, good ball movement, shot clock management, and overall feel of the game.

Next clip, I will slow it down a tad w/ sliders.

I liked it. Looks good. I am sure with sliders we will be able to fix the little nuance. I am excited about the game.

Also, for the people complaining about the suns not running, D'antoni is in NY and Porter is the new coach. They will NOT be running like we are used to seeing. The nuggets looked liked they pushed the ball though.

Thanks Steve, I was just about to post a comment that the majority of animation issues seem to come from the sped up gamespeed. That's why I'm not really pressed since there's a gamespeed slider anyway.

Excellent point. I think people missed that fact.

I'd like to see how this game looks with the speed settings down. The cpu did over pass a lot but other than that it looks great.

Re: Nuggets - Suns 2K9 Clip

I like the intros, I see warmups and manual shooting like College but with cutscenes coming soon for some reason lol..Honestly besides that, the crowd and the double teams on pick and rolls I didnt see anything to wow me..this version seems like 2K8.5..Uniforms are still wrong, passing will still be a problem, sliding will cause a problem for d and offense because idiot players will be all over the place on offense and it will be hard to contest shots..

Thanks for the clips Steve....are you going to keep switching teams for every vid ??

nooooo don't do that...just play it on default.

I think its kind of misleading to mess with sliders when showing the vids honestly. Let people do that once they get the game. I can't speak for everyone, but im pretty sure they want to see how the game is played on default with only the difficulty modes being changed. We want to see what the 2k team wanted us to see out the box. I know i do for the simple fact i dont want to THINK something plays the way it does on default, when sliders have been moved up and down.
