Fortunately, some NBA players have their fingerprints documented at the police, so we'll be able to compare them to those in NBA 2K9.

Dammmn it guys! You all need 48 hours of intensive NBA 2K6 games on the PS2 to cool off. It worked for me...LOL

2k spoiled some people around here big time. But back to the topic at hand before this thread gets closed too, I wonder if they used the team site layouts from NBA.com? That would be sweet for the current team that your playing with to have their NBA.com home page as the default layout for that team. If not this year then maybe next. For example I'll be playing with the cavs so I wonder will I see the Cavs.com layout if that makes sense to yall.

Well, the Iverson Kobe screen really impresses me... the smoothness and crispness. The jaggies on the other screens just really don't impress me. I'm sure it'll look better on the Sony 1080p... but still. I'm ready to see some gameplay.

What I wish, is that they'd get LBJ's face right. This year is better than last year... but where's my boy's beard at? Where's his 5 head?

But honestly, I'll be there day 1 for purchase... regardless... Because that's what I do.

I could have sworn they promised they were going to have LBJ's "beard" in this year's game....

...if I remember correctly, when people were complaining after 2K8 came out, Simballer (or another 2K rep) confirmed LBJ's beard....hmmm. I hope they're listening!

Stop it with that "i see why they dont show us anything" stuff. That's hogwash.

Do you really think Rob Jones and crew are really worried about that one nitpick?

Now when they had pirate planks for floors and watermelon sized legs, that was different. You won't even see all of that in game nor will you be thinking about it so why even give it any attention?

As far as the shots, I like the look of the players and stuff, although they still seem a tad too big but as I said we'll see.

Can't wait to see how much more sig stuff and new animations that are in the game.

I dont get it either. I think the best Lebron on next gen was 2k7 but last years was terrible, it seems like they just cant get him right so they probably need to have him on a cover before they can get him 100% that way they'll capture his face directly from him.

you gotta be kidding me.
