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.
