At the time of this build, none, to very little, of that was implemented in the game. You guys are looking at footage that is 1/4+ of a year away from shipping. We're not going to let you down; the level of yelling and excitement I hear from people playing around the office on a daily basis is more than I've heard in years. Top to bottom, this is easily the best game in the NBA 2k series. You don't have to take my word for it; you'll see for yourself in a couple months.

Damn man you beat me to it.

You have no worries from me. Same thing happens every year, and people have really short memories if they say it doesn't. Live has released info extra early for the past few years and in the end I get a terrible/average game. 2k keeps it kool, releases footage when they're ready and I get an amazing game I play all year until the next is released. Hell I'm still playing 2k8 with people like it just came out.

Well I can't wait to see a more current build sim. By the way can give us some info on when we may be receiving a vid of a more current build of the game?

I'm not worried about what this game is going to be like. I have faith in SimBaller and the rest of the team. My only real concern is the salary cap and MLE/luxury tax this year. If that is reflected exactly how the NBA works, then I'll be happy. Anyway, good luck w/ the game SimBaller...

It's just too difficult to get these "star" commentators in with enough time to make worthwhile recordings. Can you imagine asking this guy to say a line and he just reads it? What can you do, ask him to read it again at the risk of him walking out on you? I admit I was baffled by the fact that he read the same exact lines as Kenny. This game is DYING for new audio. It adds so much to the experience. Gameplay-wise the game is tightened up though for sure. If you enjoyed 2k8, expect a better, less cheesy game. I still expect guys to end up giving Live a shot because it is "fresh" though. But if you compared the games head to head...

Agreed, either way I'm buying it on Day 1.

But yeah commentary is forever the downfall.
