Reaction to NBA 2K9's Feature List
06:08 PM - July 22, 2008. Posted by RaychelSnr. Written by Jeremy Hartman
After last week's release of the NBA 2K9 feature list, the OS community was buzzing about the next installment of the NBA 2K series from 2K sports. Our very own Jeremy Hartman was no different and has his own thoughts on the list in his article, Reaction to NBA 2K9's Feature List.

Quote:
"So what happened? Could it be that NBA 2K9 is coming with something to blow NBA 365 out of the water? Mark Thomas, the VP of sports development at Visual Concepts, made some recent remarks that could hint toward this possibility. The NBA 2K series has always had solid gameplay so the lack of information and the sly remarks must mean that there is something big brewing, right?"

Coach Hartman checks in again this week with an article at how to best utilize the three point shot in NBA 2k8.
