Models look great -- nice skin textures and good faces. Those features sound great -- haha, I can't believe that you can tug on their jerseys in 5-on-5 mode.. that's hilarious and awesome. Big online announcement coming, eh? It probably has to do with that "Your 2Kommunity Coming Soon!" announcement on the league pages...

I see my Hornets have changed up their jerseys a little this year.

The shot stick has also been reconfigured a bit and now offers a wider range of shots for different situations. Things like step thru shots and layups that require a series of adjustments to avoid a block are extremely fluid and natural without looking canned or planned in advance. The same IsoMotion controls govern the dribbling, so not a whole lot has changed there. While this was our first real look at NBA 2K9, the game is already 90 percent complete. And it showed. Animations were tight, the crowd looked better than it ever has for the series, and the basketball actually felt like the genuine article. There's apparently a "big online innovation" announcement coming in the next few months, but online 5-on-5 play was big enough to please those in the room. There has also been "a lot of work done" to the franchise mode, but your guess is as good as ours as to what that means.

This sounds very promising to be 90% done.
