NBA 2K9 Video: Nuggets vs. Suns

Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

I'm very disappointed that they used actual video for intros. That means that if Amare gets traded to somewhere else, whenever I play the suns, they'll still talk about him as the heavy guy and show the video.

Also, the commentary is just as disappointing as last year. Kevin Harlan has next to no new comments, and this other guy is just like Kenny Smith with a different voice. I do like the addition of Cheryl Miller though.

ohhh...i never thought about what would happen if the player was traded, do they replace the vid with another player? hmmm

I assume that 2K alternates at random the top 2-3 highest rated players on the team and shows the real footage for those players. If you trade Amare off the suns, I dont think it will show that footage for your team anymore but for whoever the top guys (that already have footage in place) on your current team are. What this does do is possibly show footage of Amare on whatever team you trade him to, wearing his old teams uniforms (the suns). Lastly, 2K could skip all this by pulling a NHL2K9 and not show any of the pregame stuff during the regular season and save it only for the playoffs... we will have to see.

Maybe stuff like that is updated along with the living rosters or whatever that feature is called here.

Yes, they definitely have the ability to add this with their updates but I think what hes talking about is during our Associations... He's saying if he trades Amare off of the Suns (in his Association) even if he's still on the team in real life. Im sure 2K will update the footage as needed for basic pick up and play games but they have no idea how our association trades are going to go down. Like I said before, they most likely rotate at random the top 2-3 guys on the team so Spurs will have footage shown of Duncan/Parker, Sixers will have footage for Brand/AI #2 etc.

The videos only show in quick game, not in your association.

Amare can still get traded in real life. What would happen then? I bet the Grizzlies intro would have been loaded with Pau Gasol if this were in last year.

I'm sure that they have a way around it in case that does happen, though. I'm not worried. I'm just saying that it doesn't have to be in Association to be outdated.

Then skip it. It's really not that big of a deal.

Someone mentioned in the 2k forums that the team intros is based on who they think the best player will be in the current game.

I'm assuming if Amare is traded, they'll show another player..

Believe me, I'd love to skip the loading screens...

I don't know if you can toggle to a standard loading screen either, but that is the way the game loads.

Again, I'm not worried. I'm sure 2K has thought of everything.

I don't see why it's a big deal.

In the Nuggets vs Suns video, they showed what? a total of like 6 highlights which took approximately 5-10 seconds?

If that bothers you, you're spoiled.

Like I said in the other post, I am not a fan of showing REAL videos when previewing videogames. What happens when Iverson gets traded from the Nuggets in my association mode? Who would want to see his Nuggets highlights when he doesn't play for them? And what if there are not highlighted players that are playing for the Nuggets, what will we see as an intro?

The same reason I hate time sensitive commentary by Harlan..........

The "REAL" highlight shows only in exhibition games. You won't see it in the Association Mode.

somewhere it was said that those videos are only for quick games and don't play in association. maybe it was the Sunday Quick Hitter?

Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

Ok what if Iverson gets traded FORREAL, I am assuming Melo has a highlight package. But I couldn't imagine anyone else on that team having one. Then what happens? No Iverson or Melo............just nothing I hope

I'm pretty sure they have highlights of more than one player per team. If Iverson AND Melo got traded, they would probably show J.R. Smith or the player they got traded for in their previous team's uniform. IMO, its not that big a deal. When Iverson got traded to the Nuggets, all he had was Philly highlights. It'll be cool if they mentioned the player being on a different team though. The real question is, will they show highlights of rookies, or does the NCAA own those rights?

P.S. This is off subject, but I was watching BehindShadows videos of the old 2k games, and NBA 2k needs to go back to the presentation they used for 2k4 and 2k5 (minus the ESPN license obviously). Those overlays were sweeeeeet! They highlighted a player in 2k5, but didn't have the videos, and they showed them shooting around on the court in 2k4 like they do now.

Re: NBA 2K9: Denver vs. Phoenix Video

I doubt they have highlights for JR Smith.......
