At the 2:42 mark, it looks like Chalmers is a created character....

Oden=dunk not layup
B-Roy=need to handle the ball more
Bayless=bench...He will not be the starter.
Aldridge=perimeter shots only saw 1

This aint Blazer bball.

Oh man... that layup where D-Wade got fouled and rolled backwards was a thing of beauty.... Aldridge blocked the hell out of that too

i was waiting for him to be taken off the court in a wheelchair crying :wink:

As a Blazer fan I cosign. Aldridge did look for the shot twice though and lets be real with a 72 Med range rating he shouldn't be shooting anyway. The fact that Bayless is starting just proves they dont pay attention to the team. Nate McMillan didnt equivocate when he declared that Blake was the starter but you are right even if Bayless was the starter he wouldn't run that much of the offense.

Wow - again, great vid. The more I see, the more I am hyped for this game. Marion's shot is captured perfectly, it's hilarious. I mean it's the NBA equivelant of Craig Counsel's batting stance. Love it.

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Heat vs. Blazers

I dont like how they just have to stop to set their feet for a jumper instead of doing it in one motion.

Its like they are running then tip toe into a jumpshot. It looks weird and gives the defense that split second to recover

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Heat vs. Blazers

I dont know why ppl are mad about it looking like 2k8. 2k9 didnt need a whole new face lift the things that were wrong with 2k8 have been improved in 2k9 thats why it looks like 2k8. DO u really expect a sports game to have completly new animations from one year to the next?

Re: NBA 2K9 Video: Heat vs. Blazers

For me, there were a lot of things to like about the vid. I've been busy the last few days, so maybe I'm not experiencing the fatigue that some of you are with the vids, but there are some real exciting things here. The AI pay is much better. I haven't seen that old robotic, wait for the last second and shoot the jumper AI. I'm also seeing some nice missed shots by the computer on the inside, but we'll see if that holds up on HoF. The animation of Wade on the blocking call was sick. Charges are back in the game, which almost warrants a purchase all on its own, and the ball handling seems more explosive and less canned. The off the ball activity is also a great big leap ahead of 2k8.

I still reserve judgement until I get my hands on the demo, but there are some really nice things here in these vids. Thanks again, Steve. 2k8 didn't need a revolutionary change. I love the overall system, and I'm more than content with them refining the gameplay and adding new features, like online 5-on-5.

I've seen all the vids put up, even in low res, they look awesome. The presentation is superb. Ok, not the commentary so much...
Love the end of quarter cut scenes/replays. 2k takes the crown yet again this year.

does anyone know if the all-star game is still in Association mode? Someone told me it wasn't anymore.
