I may actually have to do an association this year after not doing one last year because it felt like the same thing every year.

I'm not optimistic, but I'm hoping they add the stats for PER in the association mode. I'm pretty sure any semi-hardcore basketball fans know what PER is and how relevant it is to compare players effectiveness than just the common (pts., rebs, asts, etc.) raw stats. EFF, TS%, AST-TO Ratio, REBr, etc. are also good, but I can easily calculate those on my own. The PER is kind of time consuming and rather difficult to calculate. That's why I'm hoping 2K9 will have it.

I would think that if it is found on NBA.com then there should be no problem. NBA2K9 is suppose to take its stats and other updated information directly from that website.

With no College Hoops, 2K had better deliver something great in the NFL 2K5 sense.

Unfortunately, I don't believe NBA.com calculates PER. They use EFF, which I don't like nearly as much as PER. Even so, I don't think NBA.com would be any help since I'm talking about stats for the Association Mode. PER is calculated using teams adjusted pace, so they would have to use stats DURING the games played from within the Association Mode. They cannot use real live stats from NBA.com.
