NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Association 2.0 & More (Gamespot)

[J.R. Locke]

Looks good. Hopefully Association 2.0 immersion is better than past years.

I am still wondering about draft classes and CAP.

no, 2k would just have come up with more gimmicky features that might not play good, but would sound good and thus lessen the 2K features impact

Your not understanding what I meant.

For example when EA released their Live 365 feature 2K could have released this Living Roster and 2K Insider info as a way to counteract EA.

I think had they done this they would have been able to steal a lot of the buzz EA was able to create a lot earlier.

I was referring to the dude who said iversons better than Chris Paul, i know AI is a SG but that doesn't stop comparisons. Its obviously not fact but CP3 did make first team all NBA and is the highest rated PG in 2k9.. so IMO he is the best PG in the NBA.

The 99 rating on that screen shot doesn't necessarily mean that Paul is rated 99 by 2k. They never rate anybody 99. But as you go through Association mode, your players do get better and their ratings will go up temporarily if they are extremely happy (have high morale percentages)... just like in 2k8. So I assume that's what it is, as these pics are indeed taken from Association simulation. Chris Paul is probably in the 95-96 range to start out.

I can't believe more people aren't talking about the new UI (user interface). Look at those menus! The clairty of the text, the clean lines, the beautiful layout... it's like another team all together designed 2K9's UI! I just hope the main menus and such all are done in the same fashion.

Man this game looks crazy. I can't wait!

Then the updates would be quite similar to Live except that 2k would have a middleman between the game stats and the synergy information.

My thoughts exactly.
