I am willing to use common sense here and say they have something going on with the NBA that allows the updates to occur instantly whenver there is a trade made. Like in my previous post, its all going to be automated. So when the NBA updates their official rosters its going to automatically trigger the NBA2K9's online rosters.

Further more this wouldn't even begin to cover "arena music" for very specific situations like missed freethrows, made 3 pointers, foul outs, halftime etc. Again, if something worked perfect before why remove it?

Because it didn't work perfectly, it was terrible the way they had it in nba2k5. Why would you need to pause or stop anything anyway?

Pretty sure it's not possible with the way they do their player faces/likenesses.

Could also be a stipulation of the NBAPA and not allowing changes.

Well for one yes, their custom soundtracks for menu music did work perfectly and was like every other VC game that used it (NFL2K5, NHL2K5 etc.) however I was talking in general terms from the developer themselves (2K/VC) in things they were able to pull off before. You are right in that their arena music was pretty bad but thats why its such a let down for me because it looks like its yet another year of them not even ATTEMPTING to redeem themselves or by taking a feature that was very good for its time (it was VC's sports games that used the feature on XBOX1 to its fullest and the very reason why 360 had it built in) and not bringing it into this generation of consoles. Maybe Im wrong though, maybe its just a US feature, who knows but by reading the back of the box, it aint looking good.

PS: I would constantly have to stop and start it because I dont want "MENU MUSIC" playing during the on-the-court part of the game. I want everything to que up at its proper time.

I'm not talking about menu music, I'm talking about the arena music.

Then I suggest you try to understand where a person is coming from before you go off responding to them. As I said in my first post "custom soundtracks/arena music". From reading the box this game has neither so I cant see your argument either way. However, really dont understand how effective you think arena music will be by just making a playlist on ones PC and streaming it... it would resemble nothing like what you hear in a real arena and would take me completely out of the experience.

i think you guys are going overboard with what hourly updates mean

-it won't be able to create players that weren't already in the game for you

-it won't update ratings

-why would it update injuries? so you can't use a certain player ingame?

-it won't player update hairdos and accessories

it feels like i'm reading the 2k boards with some of the suggestions you guys are tossing out

since 2k is linked with nba.com they can easily track rosters and automatically update them. it has no way of doing any of the things listed above. those things will be added/changed via patches where they have to manually do it.








p.s. accessories? really?
