This wasn't in 2k8 at all.

Bingo. It seems like court spacing is better, but I'll probably need to see on 2k Cam to make a final decision.

Im sorry man, but that court looks too small vs size of the players. I can't honestly sit here and say it doesn't.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Wizards vs. Raptors

I use to have problems with the isomotion, because the game gives you no clue on what you are supposed to do, but after i mapped the Isomotion moves to the circle button, it all works fine.

It's also contex based, so you don't miss anything. You have the shot stick for variety, and can still use the Isomotion effectively. Maybe people are confusing this with the fact that it was so hard to explode out of the dribble on 2K8.

My gripe number one is this, having no clue whatsoever on what to do with the controls. I loved 2K6 videos showing you what to do on every situation. They need this on every game. Right now the game comes out and you have to wait for a bit until everybody finds out every move avaliable. Why not put a move list on the game, so you will now how to shoot a hook in the post instead of making a fadeway?

Second thing is, sliders. I really love to have customization, i really do, but those sliders always annoy me. Every year is the same stuff, the game plays like **** right out of the box and you have to adjust everything.

Is it so hard to include pre-sets?

No, we have to wait a few weeks until proper sliders have been found, and on top of that, online turns into a disappointment because of the "default".

All i wanted is a mode like GT5 Prologue: there's normal mode and professional mode. Normal is default and you could have all your crazy sliders, dunks and 3pts. Professional, is simulation. Don't go there if you don't know what you're doing.

Actually, that's something they can always patch into the game, so there's still hope.

---------------------------

But that's just 2 complains. After seeing the videos the game looks so much better. Refinement is what would make the game look less sterile, and that appears to be the case. I already saw a lot of stuff that i've never seen on 2K8.

Things are looking great, can't wait for the demo.

From this video it would be in the best interest for 2k to improve the engine, increase the size ratio of court and players, and get a new commentary plan going into future games.

I agree to disagree. See how easy that is, DC.

I also like @ 2:39 where the player tried to pump fake Bosh into the air and all he did was put his hands up

Thats real talk...The comment Pared made about how it looks real on grainy vids is true..but when I saw that video I noticed how big the players were compared to the court

I've mentioned this exact thing a few times on here.

Make it available to have "normal" and "Sim" as options at the onset of play. This satisfies more people.

Maybe even include the two styles as lobbies for their respective user types.

I don't know if it's a difficult thing to do or not. But it certainly seems feasible.

I can't agree with this at all man. I think you're just used to Live... and in Live the players look pretty small compared to the court.

How do you figure? It was the same last year, and the year before that.

This has nothing to do with NBA Live.

I've played so much 2k its not hard to notice. Even 2k tried to change the players models because they knew that it was a problem. As I stated before its better than previously, but they still look a bit too big, or the court looks too small.

Yes, and I always thought the Live players looked too small. They look like sticks, not athletes. Even the "bulky" players. But at least they fixed their calves... or lack thereof... from last year.

The player models and court look fine. The issues you're referring to about court spacing seem to relate to the player's "contact area" around them. They seem to have a bit larger contact area when running plays or moving on the court. The CPU certainly didn't help this as well when they would run into their own teammates and such.

If I can get solid pictures of a court with players on them I'll be able to make a better comparison.

I dont see what I said have to do with NBA Live. Im not even talking about that game.

Im talking about the size of the player models in 2k's games the last few years, and how it seems now. It just looks like the court is too small, something is off a bit.

It's been a problem in the past that they've worked on, but i was hoping they'd try to remedy some of it this year with the ratio size of players vs court. I think i'll get the best look when i see it for myself but i've been looking at the video's and pictures and it still seems that its not quite there.
