The question is, when do the updates stop?

Also, is that legit because there were about 4 typos in it...hmm

Updates will most likely stop once the season (including playoffs) is over.

LOL when I said I would GLADLY eat crow, I meant GLADLY...dude, I love this feature...I just didnt think it was legit..

But I see a certain person is still refusing to do so!

-"if the kings decide to wear black shoes with black socks for home games, we'll add in there via roster updates"

-"if so and so changes hair styles, we'll have an update for ya".

It's been almost 10 years and we have never gotten any of that. I guess atleast now, they arent PROMISING facial and graphical updates or changes, but text and menu based movements. so they really arent promising outrageous stuff like years ago

But if the 2k series wanted to do it big time, they would offer those graphical changes to us. Dirk decides to shave his head... boom.. its in the games updated roster file. they spent months adding nashs wavy hair only for him to shave it... thats the next step.

-facial and accersory based updates ( if Jermaine Oneal builds a trend with 7-10 games into the season where he always has a certain colored headband, fix that up for us. make a new default)

Man I dont give a **** if cat has a certain colored sweat band or how thick his braids are. As long as they look like they did in real life at some point and dont look like a horror movie (monta ellis in 2k8) im good.

I want them to focus on things that actually effect the game with these hourly updates. Like letting us play with D League players that get called up for one night, getting updated injuries to us quickly (if someone breaks their leg in 3 places during a game at 8pm they will not be healthy when i load up my game later that night), giving us those blockbuster trades that same night, etc.

But until they prove that they will give us updated tendencies and ratings for EVERY player its trash compared to Live's 365 DNA.

The box looks real enough to me

How disappointing would it be if it really was false info though? Probably not a huge deal especially as we aren't even fully sure what it means yet but have to imagine 2k wouldn't be very happy about this leaking if it isn't true

Nice features, so if Shaq takes 2 dumps within an hour, the next update he'll be 10 pounds lighter?

Seems fake. The cover is made up of the only images of the game seen by the public. It's definitely not the one that will hit stores on October 7th.

I use 2 do the same thang! Everything from the Houston Chronical, Dallas Morning News, Shreveport Times, USA Today, Sports Center, etc.
I remember when they showed on the back of the games where you could download the rosters via download and didn't even know what the Hell they were talkin about!
