NBA 2K9 Video: Nuggets vs. Suns

[J.R. Locke]

CPU vs CPU right?

Way too much passing. Hell every coach in the league would have an orgasm if the ball movement was like that. This was one of the biggest problems with the game last year for me. Instead of isolating certain players and using pick n roll with proper spacing the CPU seemed to just sling the ball around (often through my defenders).

I was hoping to see better floor spacing. Real ball rotation. Real pick n roll scenarios (hedge double team with ball swing, defender goes behind the pick shoot the jumper, goes over take it to the hole etc....)

I am sure this game will be good but will it be great? That is what I was hoping from 2k this year. BTW I am not an online player so all those features mean nothing to me. AI is what matters and from the video not a lot has changed.

Good presentation though! Love the end of quarter scenario. Speed differences are noticeable now.

I think it looks GREAT!!! I'm not sure why people complaining, to me it looks amazing. The graphics are great, the presentation is the best you can find, the commentary is ok and the atmosphere is just amazing. I'll be wating for more!

Not complaining, just sharing thoughts about the video and what didn't sit right. We're all 2k heads here, so no need to say that.

Also, very interesting website JR..

I think it's amazing....just so much little details...pick n roll, players heads tracking the ball, offball movement of players, ref puts hand up indicating 3, crowd chanting defense, AIs penetrate and then back out, Iversion taking his own shot....i mean it looks just like the real thing.

Things didn't look right like Nash doing too many behind the back passes and careless turnovers by Shaq and co. Overall, i am AMAZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Ruben mention this as well, Where are the stat overlays?

maybe that's only in association and season mode.

Hmm, overall I like what I see. I think it looks fine graphics wise (but then again that's not something I obsess about), but some of the animations look a bit iffy. What concerns me right now is the weird ball movement by the CPU, especially the exchange between Shaq and Amare - also the amount of blocked shots seems too high.

The commentary was so-so and is definately something that needs work in the future.

I too missed stat overlays, but it makes sense that some stats would only be displayed in Association and Season mode - then again I'm left wondering what happened to current game stat-displays. Maybe they are only displayed during freethrows...

for some reason I don't think this is the same build that gamespot or GT have. It all looked very jittery.
