Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

I loved the intros with the real nba footage. I kind of wished that someone would take it hard to the rim and get fouled though.

Re: Nuggets - Suns 2K9 Clip

I personally don't see why everyone says the game is too fast. The game speed looks fine to me... the NBA game is supposed to be fast. I think the problem is that animations transition too abruptly and in an effort to perhaps increase control, animations can be interrupted. I actually prefer the 2K8 style where you cannot interrupt a dribble animation, its not like a guy can interrupt his own crossover in real life... momentum won't allow it. Animation interruption is only nice if branched correctly with other animations, and this is something Live impressed me with in some places. However, what really bothers me is the running. It seems that the players do some unnatural things such as turn around on axis as opposed to planting feet and 'sliding' to different areas of the court without the animation to coincide with the movement. Honestly, it looks like 2K needed more time this year ironing that stuff out and I hope this is something that can be fixed with a patch. This probably explains the delay in releasing gameplay videos this year.

Nevertheless, I am still very excited for the game and they added a whole lot of content which I think in the end will help it vastly outshine 2K8.

Word, I'm in the SOCOM: Confrontation Beta right now and that thing's getting at least a 3rd patch before it even comes out. No telling what subtle things will/have been (is this Gold?) get adjusted from Beta to release. Like the recoil was terrible the first two patches, but now is down to a normal amount. Reminds me of the complaints here

The game release is literally like 2 weeks a way at this point. How different do you expect the game to be than whats in this beta copy? I would imagine that 2K would only release a beta that is as close to current as possible. Lets not get defensive, lets be honest.

Hopefully the situation is similair to this. Is Socom coming out in 2 weeks?

Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

Aw man, I just noticed that Melo did the spin and immediately shot off the dribble on one of his misses. I'm REALLY liking the ability the AI has to shoot off the dribble in these vids.

This was a little thing that has been missing for years, that will make playing against the CPU, soo much more realistic.

I was worried that it would get left out again this year.

Don't act like you know better about the situation, "let's get honest".

Simply said, there is a reason why it's called "Beta", and as I, you don't know when Beta was actually made.

I like the presentation and especially the recap at the end of the quarter. Also, really good the personal movements, like AI, Carmelo, Stoudamire, Pierce. That is one of the main aspects that make this game so far ahead of Live 09.
The things that I didn't like -and I really hoe they can fix it before going Gold- is that some of the animations looked break and too fast, which makes the game unrealistic. A concept that doesn't much with the 2K principals

Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

This has got to be the worse commentary I think I've ever heard in a sports game.

Joe Montana Sports Talk Football^10 Whoa!!!!!

From these vids It doesn't seem as fluid as 2k8 as far as the movement. Something just isn't right and the commentary doesn't make it any better. They should be ashamed of themselves being that this is suppose to be next gen and it sounds like Sega Genesis.

I think consumers need to boycott a couple of these games thats coming out until we get what want and are suppose to be getting. Its been alittle over 3 years now. I should be about to see next generation as a complete package and right now I just don't see it.

Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

I haven't seen the gameplay yet(which I know will be great) but damn, the presentation is ridiculous.

[emelki1968]

I mean, that doesn't MATCH with the 2K principals. One of them, real simulation, which is why people like us, who love this game prefer 2k8 over Live 08.

OoooK.... It doesn't have much to do with knowing better as much as it has to do with common sense. The game is practically done, unless of course it isn't coming out on the 7th. All 'Beta' means is that its not the 'Retail' copy. Just because its beta, doesn't mean the final will be any diffferent. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I am responding to WHAT I AM SEEING either way.
