NBA 2K9 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

[Goffs]

hmm i wonder how the 5 on 5 animations going to be handled...in single player we've seen what happens when you call a play the cpu player go into a nice fluid motion animation for setting up plays

so if its 5 on 5 do each individual player have theyre own marking on where to stand?

Best case scenario, you're playing with five dudes who run plays that aren't programmed into the game. Imagine if your PG calls out "four" over his headset, and the team sets a screen for the PF and runs a backdoor cut option ending in an iso on the block.


That'd be a real step into the future of online sports right there.

I have no desire to play 5on5 user basketball. Hopefully that franchise improvement is legit.
