NBA 2K9 Q&A (2K Sports)

[HeavenlyTouch]

Well there are either two ways this is going (this may seem black & white).

Either they have little or nothing to show that's a substantial improvement from last year's game, and are releasing as little info as possible to get people excited about the secrecy and spread word of mouth over what little info there is.

Or

They simply have some amazing stuff (presentation, improved gameplay, etc.), and didn't want the competitors to catch on to what they've done so they revamp their efforts just in time for release; thus keeping us all waiting in the dark so we're all jacked when gameplay footage does come out.

I suspect the latter.

like wise..but ive been wrong before...but nah, just from the tone of the actual 2K guys, they keep alluding to something big and different, so im being optimistic on that

Some good stuff in that Q&A, but the most exciting part:

Detailed information on The Association 2.0 and the rest of its features will be coming your way sometime next week. Sit tight, it will be worth the wait.

10.) Where there be accumulated stats (like NFL 2K5) where your stats follow you and the presentation display current game stats, career stats, playoff stats...etc? A.) Statistical overlays have returned to NBA 2K9 after a brief hiatus. These overlays will display at opportune times (free throws, dead balls, etc.) and will provide information such as game points, career average, etc.

Finally, they're gonna add this. It's been long overdue. I'm excited about the other stuff, but this one just kinda stuck out more.

^^^
All star weekend is not that big of a deal to me, IF they have significant improvements in gameplay and association mode

I've been a happy nba 2k customer for the past couple of years but I've always felt their isomotion system could use work.

Also, I never realized how clumsy 2k's play-calling system was until I tried the new NBA live 09 demo. If 2k just fixed the floor spacing and the ripped off EA's play-calling system, that would be more than enough for me.
