Yes I did like 2k8 and no I didn't play the show. I heard great things about it, but I don't have a ps3. I didn't want to get one just for that game, but I know a lot of people have and seem to love it.

I'm not sure why you're even on this forum if not to discuss the games and what can be better about them, I mean if every post was just going on and on about a title being the greatest thing ever this forum would prolly get pretty boring. I guess myself, I just expect more out of something I pay 60 dollars for yearly, and 4 years in on more advanced systems, I expected 2k to be much further ahead graphically and presentation wise, while 2k9 does look to be majorly improved crowd wise, and pregame intro wise (that pre game match up overlay with the broadcast tv type announcer guy setting up the upcomming game is slick as hell I tell ya) I think I have a right to state my gripes in the hope that they get addressed. I mean its great they got rid of Cole and Neale, but you'd think they could have bothered to at least write a new play by play script for the new guys to record. Again its perfectly fine that you love the game, theres nothing wrong with that, I love the NBA2k games myself, and quite honestly Prizefighter wasn't half bad either once you get past the sometimes questionable hit detection. But I think its far less about whos name is on the box, I mean look at how many years EA, with all their money and sucess put out a garbage hockey game? Now that their finally trying to compete and put out a quality title, some guys get so damn defensive about defending NHL2k, rather than discuss what could make NHL2k better in hopes that the devs get wind and pay attention.

I like the fact that EA is improving there hockey game. It works out for fans of both games and I would love to have a reason to own both. Glad you admitted that EA tanked their hockey game for a few years (lol) There is nothing wrong with you stating your gripes but if you can cut EA some slack for putting out a whack game for 3 years than surely you can do the same for 2k not having everything that you want. We both know that EA just added things this year? that 2k already has in their game. For some reason you expect more out of 2k than you do EA. You said you expect more out of a game 4 years into the next gen systems? Then why isn't that expected of EA. It's the same with madden. EA screwed around with both football and hockey for the about 3 years (not counting 08 for hockey) and now when they put out something decent they are given so much credit and so much slack, yet 2k is nitpicked to death.

I'm happy that they changed announcers on 2k9 but how can you nitpick about their dialog. The presentation is so much better than the last few years for 2k in every way. Like I said no game is perfect and there are things that I would like to see improved but I just don't spend a lot of time dwelling on it, as long as it's not taking away from my enjoyment of the game. As far as the developer's getting feed back and doing something about it regarding 2k? I think they did that and more this year IMO 2k9 is a huge jump from last year and the animations, AI, the sliders (which worked last year), the presentation, the fighting engine! etc. have all improved a great deal. Country boy's quote says it the best. "Playing video games for what they are, instead of what we expect them to be" or something like that.

I would like to but the only games I play that aren't sports are grand theft auto, and some of the world war II first person shooter games. I may have to sacrifice depending on what happens with the show this coming season but that's some big cash for just 1 game. Not knocking anybody who did it, I'm just a little more frugal when it comes to video games.

Well, it wasnt plagued from bugs, nothing really stood out to me on that game. It felt like i have played that game before on the SNES with just better graphics. That turned me off. I didnt play much MLB2K8 as that game didnt hook me either. I personally didnt care much for either game.

The show to me was not next gen. Just me though.
