Hi, all! Good Ol' crazy editor Tomba here. Figured I'd start writing about all my times regarding the fun life of clicking away at the thankless slider screens. I've been working on a new slider set a new roster and a complete revamp to what you are are now all playing with NBA 2k9. Yes , YOU heard me right! NBA 2k9 (that "other" basketball game). Why? Well why not? It has about the same amount of slider and attributes settings to tweak as the next guy and plays just as good as game as it ever did minus the horrible gameplay...LOL..Um what I mean to say is it needs to have some help to guide it and I shall be it's guide. I'm a mean guy . I'll look at a game, and completely rip it apart cuz' it doesn't look right while it's being played because of simple things. Simple stuff that I feel developers either are lazy about getting right or don't have time to do(6 month dev. cycle *cough*). I'm randomly "blogging" here,but my point is going to be clear about this. Sliders can help this and every game that has them. It's true. NBA live 07, 08 and even 09 are unplaybale without an edit of some sort. well maybe just 07. And NBA 2k9 is not exempt from this either. I didn't get down with 2k7,2k8 so I wanted to provide somethin for all the 2kers this year, seeing as I love the core dev. of NBA 2k9this year. It's player models and overall animation amount/count is staggering. The game has the same issue as the other guy(NBA Live) and thats game speed and in a few day or so you'll see a thread where I detail how i went about with trying to fix and ultimately fixing almost every aspect of NBA 2k9 to the point it feels like a patch. I think I might have to start sending out stickers to all you guys with the words "TOMBA PATCH" just so that you can stick on your game boxes LOL or start up some kind of paypal account with donations so i can by my own 360 dev. kit so I can just make my own when the time comes. that'd be crazy! Imagine me working through XBox Live or the PSN network banging out 1.0's and 2.2's on Thrus's at 6 am! Ohh man LOL to that.....

First things first. Just like with everything you have to break the cherry to start going strong!

Thanks for readin' the first blog edition. I'll try and update stuff as I go and input you more with info about the upcoming edit...err I mean patch
