NBA 2K9 Video: Lakers vs. Celtics

"SLIDER SPEED" wise, this is clearly the 2K8 setting, and its where it should be...people who had a problem with the speed setting don't know basketball all too well

Slightly Improved graphics? You are blind. And what also makes no, how can say that the post game is unresponsive when you haven't even played the game. And to the bolded part, well.............

you can tell from the animation and the way the game moves that it is the same as last year. it is pretty obvious - all they added were a few new animations and some improved lighting and faces. other than that the game is the same and appears to have the same flaws.

what a joke. this is the farthest from the truth

commentary still sucks, can't believe they are re-using the same lines yet again.

I'd love Jeff Van Gundy, Marc Jackson and that other guy whose name escapes me right now.

Kenny Smith! oh wait...

I wouldn't mind Van Gundy, but please lord, no Marc Jackson.

Ray Allen's shot might be the quickest in the league. Why is it so damn slow in this game. Everything in this game is incredibly slow. Is it the animation system that they use. Peja's release is quick as hell, why can't they get Allen's shot speed right?

^^LOL, my apologies for using only one question mark in that entire post.

Because the speed slider is on 40.

Nah but Ray Ray's shot does take longer than it should

2k's shots in general take longer, but i'd complain about Pierce's more than Ray's. Either way it's hard to shoot with either of them if you watch the C's alot and expect the game to be accurate.

First things 1st.....

Thanks to OS for putting up the videos of your beta copy and at least helping to give out info on this game.

Now onto my thoughts of the game....

From the videos I am not impressed with 2k9..... but again, for the last 2 games I was not impressed by the videos but once I got the game in my hand it was a different story.

I am a sim guy (like most of you) and it is disappointing to see how long it takes for plays to develop. this was one of my pet-peeves online as well...becuase if you tried to run plays it would take forever for something to develop.

Also, after playing Live09, the court seems to be incredibly cramped. You have almost no time to get free to do anything.

Last but not least, I was EXTREMELY disappointing to hear that TERRIBLE commentary. It is VERY annoying. I can listen to Live's commentary all-day long and it never gts old......even when I know the little ancedotes that Steve Kerr is going to give...it just sounds very 'real'.

Anyway, I will reserve final judgement until I play the demo.

Now with all of that said is 2k a bad game. No....far from it..... It's just that Live has shown us how to do some things better than 2k now, and it is demanding for 2k to have to step up and make some major changes to some things.

The problem with NBA 2K series commentary is analytical commentary. They should make jokes and talk about other stuffs more often instead of the game. And the commentators should interact and talk with each other more often. You know ....just anything to spice up the game boring commentary. It's always...."pass it to Yao, he shoot...blocked" "great defense!" Say something like they did in NFL2k2 or NFL2k5....they don't just talk about the game all the time.

Next year's game should deal with this issue and try to solve it. I like Kevin harv (spelling). He's like Marv Albert. So they should keep him and Kellogg. Kenny Smith is alright but i guess 2K wants a new different voice. They should focus on trying to make the commentary more dynamic. In other words, they should say things that had already past to remind the users what had happened.
