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.

SIM with the play of the day


man i can't wait until october

Yes I am a 2K fanboy. Yes I am bitter about the NFL exclusivity contract that buried the NFL 2K Franchise. However, this in no way is clouding my judgement when it comes to assessing both Live and 2K basketball games purely based on merit. 2K8 was crack and Live 08 was, well, weed in terms of potency; Not even, it was meh aregano at best and thats just sad. WE DONT BELIEVE YOU EA, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE!

I guess you can only afford one because i'm gettin both. Wow how are you gonna tell people not to purchase it's their money they can do whatever the hell they want with it. This year live looks good and I have not bought a nba live since o5

Here's the thing. In past years, Live sounded good and was hyped good and then ended up playing like crap. This year, Live's features sound good AND the game looks like it plays really good from videos. There's a difference between getting hyped over the information and getting hyped over what you actually see.

LOL were all pretty smart guys, does "work in progress" really need to be anywhere on the footage to tell this build is early?

anyway, cant wait!

[IDoc DeathI]

so i really need someone to answer the question of why it says in the vid that there are 7 timeouts remaining it is starting to freak me out.

So yea...if Rondo can get up the court like that on a Fastbreak, imagine how fast players like Monta and CP3 and Leandro Barbosa will get up the court lol

That was incredibly underwhelming and dare I say worse than Live 09's footage. The only thing better is the net animations... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because they are the leader in Basketball, and this was likely an early build. But do you really think they would get Kellogg and Miller to record filler phrases? Don't be surprised if all we get is the same commentary with different voices. That's what seems to be the case here.

The one redeeming factor: End of quarter highlights.
