NBA 2K9 Preview (ESPN Videogames)

[ryanm1058123]

as long as the players dont stand around all the time and they actually do stuff and run around screens and setting offscreen picks for each other, i am pretty confident this will be the best game ever. then add more animations in for more knicks players and i will be in heaven. please add jamal crawford this year

I gotta disagree. I think the jerseys finally look right. Last year everyone looked like they had their mom tuck in their jersey for them. They also looked a size too small.

Shaq looks pretty damn good.

Probably means the info is coming at the speed of an iceberg just like it has been all along

So if Billups pulls from that spot right there, Mario shouldn't really be able to make an effective challenge on the J based on his current focus on stopping dribble penetration.

Chauncey isn't squared up to the basket. By the time he turns and sets to shoot, Chalmers would have time to step up and challenge.

Nice play...

Why would they allow you to see the defensive player's bar?? Isn't it better not the show it and make it more realistic. The user who control the defensive player should be the only one who gets to see the defensive bar.
