Re: NBA 2K9 Quick Hitter Impressions

Much appreciated Steve great stuff.

In regards to not seeing any overlays, here is what a Dev. responded with during the 2ksports.com QA that was posted a few weeks ago.


10.) Where there be accumulated stats (like NFL 2K5) where your stats follow you and the presentation display current game stats, career stats, playoff stats...etc?

A.) "Statistical overlays have returned to NBA 2K9 after a brief hiatus. These overlays will display at opportune times (free throws, dead balls, etc.) and will provide information such as game points, career average, etc."

Hopefully, the TV style overlays are in the final build.

Yes hopefully, i love that type of stuff especially if your trying to portray a true tv style presentation

Re: NBA 2K9 Quick Hitter Impressions

And I think 2k7 had that too, and 2k6, and I'm sure 2k5 and below.

I'm kinda confused now lol. From what I understood, Bowen would be able to guard Kobe the whole game even if Kobe slides in the 3. That way, your second string SF won't guard LA's second string SF... At least that's what I understood from reading since Steve will not say that "this is something people will be happy about" if that said feature is already in the 2k's and belows.

This has never been in any 2K NBA game. If it is done right this would be the FIRST year

I am glad all the new additions in the game will advance gameplay. I love that that brought back the feature where you can change your shot in midair.

Sounds marvelous.

Man now that's what I call impressions. Great read Steve. That's really nice that they fixed mismatches. Those occured quite frequently in 2k8 when the A.I was in transition defense. At least now, it'll switch it up.

I can't wait...

[NBA2KGODZ]

I hope they were able to fix the Goaltending and Basket Interference calls. They were off in nba2k8.
