you know what they havent mentioned and its something that is just like live 09. its the fact that you can CHOOSE which roster or update to play with. One of the french website screenshots shows under the team in the team selection screen, the word "CURRENT" which im guess is the current rosters.... im guessing you can go back with a simple click of a button to other roster PHASES.. instead of saving each one and going into the load screen and doing it that way, its 100 times easier here. its basically lives interface as well

Then again with the new animations, i dont know how those will be handled in regards to saves. are these rosters an internal "DLC" to your harddrive save or is there something tangible about them? itll be interesting because with the new2kshare feature, rosters can be shared.. im confused now lol

Yeah, it's goin to be interesting how all these features fit together. Like if you use 2kshare to find a created player's dna to add to the most current living roster will that created player stick with the roster through another update? Hopefully they can go a little more in depth of how these updates are to effect things. Because if it does screw with manual changes to the roster when the next update comes, it looks i'll be using 2kshare and my knowledge to update the rosters. But i guess im just going to have to see how the system works when the NBA season starts.

I'm hoping by all this, that it means that rookies who get rated too high to begin with(ie. Marco Belinelli) will have their rating decrease over time if they're not getting any PT because of their skills.

Brolic, this is a 2k forum though, i dont get why you're upset about me not calling out Live fans in the 2k forums..lol

Reuben.. we should wait to see if they explain the feature first

My point was, you were in the Live forum where Live fans were having a similar reaction to getting info and a demo, and yet you didn't call any of them out like you've done here for being overly excited. Anyways, I'm off. I'll check this website tonight for the on the spot preview.

Sooo what do you guys think of the guy on the screenshot that looks like a cartoon Stephen A Smith?

[Mr.Clutch_Knicks8]

Yes, I actually thought that thats who it was supposed to be when I first saw the pics.
