NBA 2K9 Preview (ESPN Videogames)

[RoyalBoyle78]

WOW, I just tinkled in my paints reading this, I have been looking more info and any info at that, and that article honestly rested my soul, I can't freaking wait for this to drop. Didn't care for LIVE much the last 2 years, and this 2k will also own my soul, as long as they keep the game bugs to a minimal, (ALA NHk2k9 franchise mode, which is still the better Hockey game this year). I'm so looking forward for this game, as I was all year long.


With this article and after Take-Two not going with EA, and there Hockey game back up to speed, this should be for all 2k fans to rejoice.

Yeah I own madden, I have no choice in that matter, oh well.

It is more fun nitpicking vids than it is nitpicking damn pictures

i agree.. i always enjoy nitpicking on the angles when watching reverse cowgirl or piledriver being demonstrated... the back has to be at a certain angle and you just dont get the full experience through pictorials.

Quick question for anybody to answer...

What the hell happened with ESPN presentation in games. I know EA bought it, but I can't remember seeing anything else from it.

Do they still even have the rights? If they do, what are they using them for, cause I haven't seen anything in Madden or Live.

I can only imagine how much ESPN integration we would have in NBA 2K if they had the rights still.

I'm pretty sure EA still has it. I'm glad it's gone anyway. It'd probably just result in a digital Stephen A Smith or Skip Bayless.

EA chose not to use the ESPN license the way 2k Sports used it on previous "ESPN" titles

So how are they using it now?

What's the point of even getting the rights if they aren't even going to put them to good use?
