Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Warriors @ Hornets

thanks steve..

cant complain except that ive seen hornets about 5 times now.. people need to watch that konsolekingz feed and leave room for more teams to be seen.

RE the hornets court, noone even mentioned 2k's attempt at using the new altnerate logos. my guess is , the logos and jersey info was given at a certain time and later that concept court art was given out. 2k took it upon themselves to try and implement the new logo some how. so in some sense, they get credit for that in my book.

some thoughts on the vid:

-that CPU maggette drive was one of the most seamless and flawless looking animations ive ever seen in a video game. wheres the pause or break between animations like other animations in this game or the other game?

-the head slap by monta as a means of celebration on the foul was great.

-peja looks amazing. facial animations are CRRRRRAZY

Thanks.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Warriors @ Hornets

That Maggette drive was nice but the suck-me-in animation on the 3-on-1 fast break was not cool.

I wish some of the animations were sped up. There is a Steven Jackson 3 ball around the 2:20 mark that looks so slow. Speeding up people's jumpers could cut down on blocked j's.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Warriors @ Hornets

Man the best move of the video is the spin move by Maggette on Chandler. Looked real as hell I must have watched just that move 20 times. But what is the player speed on this. Look like they are playing in slow motion almost.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Warriors @ Hornets

Steven Jackson has a SLOW shot though, it really shouldn't be sped up

I never really payed attention to his shot but man I will have to watch it now.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Warriors @ Hornets

Man i hope they can speed up the players for playcallin and off ball controls.

CP3: Hey Peja set a pick
Peja: okay doakie (Peja walks to set a pick on Monte)
Monte: I see you (walks around Peja's pick)
Peja: ohh ****
Cp3: Damn you Peja (Peja walks away)

Yeah he does have a set shot when he's wide open but in general the shot speed has always been too slow.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Warriors @ Hornets

1st of all thanks for posting up the video, Steve....

Let me say that I really liked what I saw in this clip. As mentioned already the spin by Magettee was nice.

But what I really liked was the fast break at the end of the vidoe leading to the foul. I disagree a little bit with what is regarde to as "suction-blocking" because without it you would not be able to paly defense.

In the real NBA there is ALOT of contact.....very rarely do you see people attack the goal untouched. That is why Kobe, Dwayne Wade, AI, Lebron and other scorers are so great. They can finish drives/layups while taking contact!!!!.

In real life that fast break would have played out EXACTLY the same way. The position the defender had near the goal would warrant some contact and a foul.

The things about the fastbreak in theat clip that I love are these 2 things:

1) The offesive players spread out the court: It was a 3-on-1 break and ther was a player in the middle, left, and right side of the court.

2) The players ran the full lenght of the court: This for me was a big one........ How many frustratingly nerve-racking times have you seen a break in these games and the PG's/SG's stop on the perimeter... in thie clip they keep running. That is what makes the break so wonderful. By making a pass the offense could have changed the angle and forced the defender to have to make a more difficult play on the ball. This is real basketball folks.

Of course I liked the other things too...by far this is one of the better vidoes I have seen ands has gotten me excited to play this game.

Default
Fast(er)

Option for all sig shots and free throws in the player edit menus
