NBA 2K9 First Look (Gamespot)

The second picture of 2k9 positives:

Jersey cloth looks better and more detail to the shoes. Other than that, still not diggin the legs.

But wait til we get better photos.

Yeah I agree, and that causes gameplay problems. Too many passes being deflected, not being able to drive because its too cluttered, very, very few open shots, etc.

better to say something than to let it slide through the cracks again, thats my only intention with why i bring stuff now. a Developer or artist may see my post and make it a point for that correction. simple quick and easy execution.

i do agree its too early to tell with one photo if its actually wrong. but its one still shot. what are we to do with it?

Its still too soon for that man, they wont give us the final look of the players pics right now


Wally is a stickler for the colors, and i see guys in the CH2k forums do it all the time, while no one there is called out for it and jSapida responds very graciously and tries to get it done, as im sure they work hard on that


Im not picking on the colors as much as Wally, but its his thing. I got laughed at for mentioning the pirate planks and the watermelon seed legs, but they worked on that, and it satisfied alot of people.... ALOT

Stop taking every comment personal and we'll be okay, but its the people who come in and act like each piece of info is a drug that brings the discussion down, OH LOOK AT THAT PIC ITS AWESOME.... well it sucks cuz that guy in the nosebleeds has on a fake gold chain, I can tell from this screen.

Other than that, people are hungry for info so they're going to analyze anything they can get.

That's called spacing, and its been an issue for a few years now.

The spacing issue has been talked about for 2.5 years...I really hope they didn't ignore it and try to mask it with better playcalling execution.

Yes, sir, I know what its called. I was giving the meaning of the word.

Anywho, with 80 people in this forum, you'd think they released a 5 minutes vid of CPU v CPU gameplay.

Nope, just a screen shot with very poor resolution. Crazy the amount of hype.

LOL, that wasnt even a 2K thing, it was some blog or something

There are fans of this series here who wait for info, finally get a little bit and its from an old build so the excitement dies, then picks back up for a day with each piece of info, then down then up, you get the picture...

I understood what you were saying though, and yes hopefully they address the entire thing, new engine, player models, spacing... all of that
