NBA 2K9 Preview (ESPN Videogames)

[Juice Malone]

Great preview adressed some of my concerns.

Only thing i dont know about is draft classes. Import from college hoops 2k8 and/or uploaded to 2kshare, maybe they just gonna let us edit incoming draft prospects and classes because there is no college hoops title?

The reason am so concerned about that one feature is because one thing i have always wanted to do in a sports game is go back in time.

Do a franchise that starts in the early 90s, so i can play with all my child hood heroes. Do it the year before Jordan first retired and just play through as normal (you could choose to edit in expansion teams like the Bobcats as time goes on or just keep it the way it is and pretend the Hornets stayed in Charlotte. You would also have to put the Sonics back in) and let it run as a what if scenario. Will Jordan win 7 or 8 championships after deciding not to retire or maybe the Rockets will still be able to take home one despite Jordans presence. Maybe Barkely stays in Philadelphia and plays along side a young AI. Shaq doesnt go to LA.

You could bring in all the draft classes every year too (AI, Ray Allen as rookies, etc.).

Will this be possible this year?

All you would need is ability to edit players, teams, and draft classes i think.

Maybe Simballer could let me know.

Yeah. I had mentioned this in a thread a while back.

This is something small that I think would be cool and I don't think would take much to add: But to make player "Chatter" a little more interesting and more authentic to specific players. Have Boozer yell "Ahhhhh" after any freethrow or open jumpshot he misses. It's something he does all the time. Have T-Mac and Kobe yelling "Heeeeyyyy" when they go up and try to finish a lay up in traffic. Chris Paul yelling "He can't guard me!" from every so often after scoring consecutively during a closely contested game. And like someone else said, KG screaming.

And I am sure there are other things that guys say around the league that can be captured and incorporated into the game.

Melo always says "OHH ****" whenever he goes to the hoop. Probably not getting into the game, but he does that constantly. I'm sure the networks hate him. Camby did that also, but not quite as regularly.

They cant put KGs audibles in the game

All he does is call him self a you know what

and a you know what else

Come on you you know what

Make this free throw you so and so

hmm i dont think they have that this year...maybe next year..

Heh as long as they don't have the horrible mixed-up voices like the post-game interviews on NFL 2K5 where Peyton Manning would talk like Ray Lewis... those were hilarious though.

Sounds good. Can't wait.
