Nice. Just wish the resolution was a little better on the GS video.

You know, they should thrown an "octopus removal" mini-game in next year.

I just hope not every shot hits the posts again like in 08. From the vids I've seen, I'm still seeing it being way overdone.

I would hardly call 09 08.5.The inclusion of a new checking system,flip dumps,stick lift,and improved poke checking,not to mention BE A PRO and EASHL.Yeah the video makes it seem similar and in ways I'm sure it is,but as said that's not a bad thing.Take into strong consideration,you watched a 2 minute video,so we haven't even began to hear the new commentary that is in the game.

Sounds like something they'd put in 2K10

Oh and as far as post shots go,do any of you ever lower the shot accuracy to Zero?I did this for 08 and saw far less post shots.

I saw that as well. I rewound it several times just to confirm.

I hate human v human for gameplay videos. Doesn't really tell you much. The game is going to play however they play it.

It still looks like a one-timer fest though.
