2K Sports Gets More Real with Living Rosters in NBA® 2K9

[shawnpatrick78]

I like how they steal ideas the only differences is, NBA LIVE has got the nice graphics and presentation but 2ks got outstanding game play and realistic player animations. NOW combine those two and thats a great combo. The thing is we need two bball games that why there is competition to make the game better.

can someone answer this question for me, will this feature transfer the rosters to offline play too? This did not happen for me in 2k8? not that i knew it was possible...thanks for the info in advance

so my question iz, how r these "living rosters" going to play into association mode:

• iz it just a roster update or iz it a patch to update what iz already there on ur roster?
• will the ratings and tendencies change but leave the rosters the same?
• will they add players as they get added in real life?
• what will happen to ur CAPs?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS B4 WE START WORKING ON OUR "BIG 3 EXPERIENCE" roster/slider/instruction set?

You had to go to the online desk to get the roster and save it to your hard drive for offline use. I imagine that this will have basically the same thing, though it might be a little more streamlined (probably asks if you want to update and then autosaves or something).

It would be nice if these could be answered too

1. Will you guys have a place that you post the updates for the living rosters in USB format for us people without online?

2. Do the new ratings and ambition etc. stuff fix the issue where guys like Manu would be starting even when you set them to the sixth man before?

3. Will teams define rotations by skills rather than overall ratings? For example Jason Carroll for the Bobcats is good at shooting 3's and not much else. In 2K's past he wouldn't be playing because his overall was low because that was his only skill. And obviously you guys know that that isn't right. Will this be fixed?

4. Is there an option to controll ALL teams in Assotiation?

Im highly doubtful that it will.. If you watched the association video on the site, I don't think they had an option for living rosters. Does anyone have any concrete proof that it will be offered in franchise? Sorry if I'm just rehashing old stuff.
