    Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Association Part 1

    My question,

    Are there game by game, daily or weekly highlights like in NFL 2k5?
    What other good things are in the Association and the Regular game?

      It actually looks like you can hit the RB or LB in order to get more options on appearance changes. So yeah, on "face", you can only change eye color but if you hit RB, it probably goes to hair, facial hair, etc.

      As said, the point to this feature and what makes it so cool isn't that you can go look at their attributes and self-cheat the game, but that you can make sure one of the top prospects you wish to draft doesn't have fire-engine red hair with a flat-top. Heh.

      This will also help the hardcore amongst us that play four seasons plus and see the rare draftee here or there with the same name as someone drafted years prior.

      I'm also surprised that nobody is excited about the option to change shoes. That is huge, as four years in... most players had plain white shoes on 2K8.

        The swaying windows looked pretty nifty and I like the NBA layout. I cant wait to get started on my Grizz's dynasty.

          It doesn't. RB and LB goes between Accessories, Hair, Face, Details, etc. If you look at the other video, All of the face stuff is in one menu.

          The other video had "Hair", this one doesn't.

                If the rookies are messed up again this year I might switch to Live, wow. Yes it is that important to me. I don't want some fire red haired pale guy being the stud prospect and not have the ability to edit him.

                  It showed a rookie in the video. He's a normal looking black man.

                    I'm glad they fixed some of the little things, like rookie contracts. Thanks 2K.

                      I would too, thats just it. 2K is putting themselves in this situation by their lack of change with the feature. What they face here is a situation where if they allowed you to edit the rookies faces however you wanted, it wouldn't match the pre-made pic that was created for that rookie... this would look odd because you could take that black rookie in the video and edit his skin color to make him white, yet you will still see that black rookie pic associated with the white rookie whenever they show his player card in menus/during the game.

                      Problem #2 would come into play if 2K said **** it, every prospect that the user changes automatically gets the black silhouette instead of the pre-made picture... now the problem is that most of the league would then have a black silhouette because I will most certainly want to edit most of the prospects in the game in some fashion weather it be hair/skin/looks for variety purposes.

                      The solution here would be for 2K to come up with a better way of showing the created players and rookies so that they are represented exactly how they look in the game... the only way to do that is to have the game take a realtime snap shot of out players. NBA Inside Drive did it on XBOX 1, I dont see why they cant do it now.

                      Lastly this is needed more now than ever before because we dont have a CHoops this year so trying to make accurate draft classes though editing them is very important. Not letting us change the look of the rookies is stupid and has rendered this whole feature useless now.

                            There are always small things that make me scratch my head with 2K. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to game play they're the best. But small details like not being able to edit everything about a draft prospect is weird seeing as how it doesn't take much to add that into the game.
