Re: NBA 2K9: Create a Player Video

I did this comparison to show how the "Thin" body model has changed from last year, a little beefer, (notice the forearm) The texturing of the skin in 2k9 is unbelievable!

Great pic. So many people complained about the skin textures over the years and their wish was finally granted to have it dramatically improved.

Re: NBA 2K9: Create a Player Video

well im glad some issues were addressed like better facial hair, contracts, skin tones and moving sliders, but overall im a little disappointed. i was really hoping (not expecting) for a lot more. the hairstyles and tats and no home and away options for all accessories is a heart breaker. also three body styles still???? cmon, why cant we have a weight/body fat slider to address this? the other thing i think i noticed was the removal of the wristbands on the biceps. now i have been complaining for two years now for 2k to remove them so i guess i got my wish but i still would like to have them as an option for classic rosters, figures. looks like no short shorts or goggles either. ill wait till i get to actually create some players for myself before i judge but from what i have seen im not too excited.

Looks a little better. Still wanting a little more though! I realize this is nitpicking to many...

-I wish they had a larger variety of tats. On top of that, maybe even allow leg, neck, shoulder/back tats, etc.

-Shoes. I get that adding licenses is expensive (especially if you aren't EA $$$), but the generics (which looked to still be fairly prevalent in the vids) are just too plain. The white shoes especially. They just stick out in a bad way to me. Create a shoe would be Ok, but honestly if they could just whip up a few basic styles with the ability to select color it would do wonders. They just stick out like a sore thumb to me.

-Always wondered why they have knee pad varieties with holes in the middle, but they are the same color as the knee pad?

-I wish they had the textured elbow pads some have worn recently or in the past (Wade, etc.)

-Body types could be expanded as many have noted...

-Other cool adds would be hair bands (Sasha, Mike Miller, Oberto), goggles (Worthy'esque), mouthpieces (D. Gibson). Oh yeah, another thing; does long hair move yet? Wristbands with Numbers or Initials on them.

-Wish they had short, medium, and long length shorts option. Would make creating retro rosters more realistic. Kind of weird seeing Mark Eaton with shorts below his knee caps?!? A couple retro shoe styles would be an awesome addition too! Remember when they had the mock Converse All Stars! I'm not even a shoe afficinado, but Nike Dunks and Converse Weapons would be cool!


Like I said, looks good (and it could definitely be worse!)...I just wish there was a bit more. Not overly disappointed, as I didn't really expect them to add much. It has been pretty much the same now for quite a while.

Re: Create A Player 2k9 Vid

I notice that we still cant assign weights to the players we create... I dont understand why you guys leave that out every year If I make a guy that looks even bigger than Shaq, I should be able to give him a weight that matches his look.

THANK YOU FOR ADDING CONTRACTS /end sarcastic remark.... people are so rude and demanding.. show some appreciation. it goes along way. sure you may not have gotten what you wanted but to not notice the other great stuff and just to focus on that doesnt say a whole lot in the eyes of others looking on



thanks steve for doing this.

Re: Create A Player 2k9 Vid

This is a comparison of a Black guy from both 2k9 &2k8. This really shows how much it improved.

Re: Create A Player 2k9 Vid

I'm glad they finally fixed the orange skin but i'm a lil disappointed to see you still can't choose home and away shoes. I see you can choose home and away socks tho...maybe this year it won't be a lot of players with black shoes for home games...or hopefully we can edit shoes for every player instead of just created ones.

Re: Create A Player 2k9 Vid

Did anyone notice if they had shorter calf sleeves instead of the ones that seem to go past the sock? I couldn't really tell.

Re: Create A Player 2k9 Vid

Pretty sure they still haven't added them, same old sleeves, not the ones that people actually wear.

LOL.... where do some of you people get off. I made an observation, something that wouldn't take much effort at all by 2K to implement (and they have at one point only to take it back out the following year) but would go along way in helping the CAP mode become better. My logic tells me that on something this small (to implement) why should I have to over look it EVERY YEAR? You then go on to speak about me not noticing "the other great stuff" about the mode, saying I should "show some appreciation" when "the eyes of others are looking on"... I dont give a rats *** about who is looking on nor trying to come up with something positive on any giving feature just to appease the masses/you. I call it like I see it and will continue to make my positive AND not so positive comments as I see necessary. Personally the contracts are cool but I really didn't mind about the way it was done before because I liked for that person to speak for himself once in my association mode based off his own performance and wants. I dont really feel that this CAP mode is a step in the right direction, I think it just improved on what was already there last year and even though it could be worse, Im not going to praise it because of that. I seen the variety in the players of the Choops games and was hoping that with both teams now working together, that they could come up with the best of both worlds but thats not the case. Understand that just because you feel the need to say something positive everytime doesn't mean that we all do... I show my appreciation to this game/series by buying it every year regardless of how the previews go... I dont feel the need to do anything more than that. I voice my OPINION often so that they (2K) better understand what the people want and even though I dont have the highest post count or is cool with the regulars here, I do care about the quality of this series and want it to be its best... so forgive me for not taking a JMood approach to this series by over looking and making excuses but please dont condemn me for trying to HELP make this series better the only way I can.

Re: NBA 2K9: Create a Player Video

It looks awesome. The only thing I wish is there were more headband choices and the weight thing. I remember on NBA Live on reg. xbox a few years ago they had like 50 different headbands and you could pick all different colors and you could do the same thing w/ the striped socks. And I wish they would do the body type like what Madden used to have on reg. xbox a few years ago. You could adjust bicep size, calf size, chest, gut, waist, thigh, "rear".
And this has nothing to do with anything really but I remember back in the day on one of the NBA games you could make a guy 7'10". Then the next year it was down to 7'8". Now I think all the games are down to 7'6". When I made a 7'10" guy I could stand down in the paint guarding the other center and get a legit block off a guy shooting a 3 pointer.
But i'll get over it. I still play 2k8 and 2k9 looks tons better so I'll be playing this game almost exclusively year round. But I will still dream of the day I can make a roided out 24" pythoned 7'10" 415lb 99 rated center bearing my name on the back of the jersey.
