NBA 2K9 Preview (ESPN Videogames)

[Bornindamecca]

Yeah I really hope we can hear it. You can hear it in Madden, and it adds so much. I know the issue is the individuality(we know Kobe and Tmac's voices, who knows what LJ Smith sounds like?) but still, I want to hear SOMEthing.

But just in case, Im glad I already have 1080p on my HD. BTW the pic I just posted in this thread immediately went to a lower resolution but if you click on it you will see how smooth it is.

No.

the reason that pic above looks so smooth compared to some of the others is because it is from REPLAY mode. not in Game. hell it may even be a cut scene mode for making trailers where they use higher res models just for show.

In game does not have the same "HiRes" look as replay mode. Replay mode ads the blur and anti-aliasing and depth of Field (and maybe higher res models) that is evident in your shot and not in the in-game shots (Pro-tip: that'd be the shots with the score HUD graphic in them).

In game needs CPU cycles to run the AI logic where as replay mode does not. therefore they have more resources for graphic qualities in that mode. These consoles are not endless suppliers of power as we would like to believe. there needs to be trade-offs with AI, sound, graphics, RAM etc.

I can see me and my buddies getting so hype after one of us throws it down on the other, and hearing a scream from our guy. I also hope that they added the yells that players let out when they are trying to get a foul call. Some players are notorious for doing this all the time (See: Kobe, T-Mac).

When does Kobe ever do that? I can see some other guys... Kmart, KG, even Steve Francis HEH!, but anyhow I just hope that everyone including scrubs dont all do the same thing.

I like that they are going to have some new statistics with efficiency and True Shooting % etc being added... I wonder if during your association they'll finally integrate your seasonal statistics into the gameplay. That'd be awesome!

KDRE's backsliding. The shine on the gold medal is beginning to dull.
