Alot of good things in that vid. Transitional animations, again, do not look as natural as 2K8 but not a deal breaker. I do hope they can patch it though. The announcing is pretty much the same, which is annoying. I guess 2K doesn't know how to do commentary; still sounds like lines cut and pasted together and just play by play instead of actual color commentary and CONVERSATIONS that take place. I can see that "Iverson, passes to Martin... Martin with the shot...hits it!" Hearing that all game is corny, and Clark Kellogg is supposed to add basketball knowledge and insight... same thing as Kenny Smith last year, just a different voice. Also, these guys talk like they are recording lines for a video game... doesn't sound natural. This is one area Live has always done well please take note 2K.

Plus, I hope they added new game intro and arena music, hearing all the same songs every year somehow makes the game not feel fresh to me.
