What does KG to Boston have to do with having more than 3 teams in a trade? That was a 2 team trade..

It's not about more than 3 teams. It's about more than 3 players per team.

Woops, my fault. I guess that's what I get for reading this early in the morning because I could of swore it said teams

"You can direct your AI teammates to conservatively maintain position, play aggressive to force turnovers, or even to leave their man to double a particular player when he receives the ball (yep, Rondo’s inability to shoot will hurt Celtic players this year). "

Very very good news. the old way of tight looose regular has been way overdone. Good read !

Dak just concentrate on getting your 360 fixed so we can ball this year.

I can't believe that idiot over at Gamespot thinks that lives goofy looking, cartoony player models look better than 2Ks models! He states that Lives gameplay is basically the same yet he thinks 2K has some competition this year?! This proves he doesn't know what he's talking about. Take your EA glasses off!
NBA 2K9 is looking sweet, and I'm liking what I've read about the improvements. I can't wait, unfortunately, because I live in Australia, I have to wait much longer for a PAL release.

Neither do it. That statement is ****ing crazy. Also did in one notice a slight biased slant to that article. I mean its a preview article and he's praisng Live's player models, 5 on 5 mode and saying that it will be a tough decision between Live and 2k. I didnt see Gamespot mentioning 2k in its Live previews.
