But just looking at the difference for 2k8 to 2k9. - better of the ball movement - cleaner graphics - much,much,much more sig style - incredible atmoshphere and presentation But the play calling system still needs help and dammnit 2k work on some new commenting. By the way... I have been playing 2k since the Dreamcst days and I have never been blown away by gameplay videos....well because the people playing the game play no way like I do.

My god the commentary is bland there is no interacting between the two.

Looks just like 2K8....and that's not a good thing.

So the speed was 40 (out of 50) - that explains the slow game. Looking forward to watching the game at 45 speed.

This video just emphasizes how revolutionary Live's playcalling is.

I want 2K9 to impress me, it just hasn't happened yet.

The more you do the better. These are all awesome. Much appreciated.

I have to voice my discontent with running plays as well. It's single handily the worst aspect of 2k in my opinion (as far as gameplay). As much as I hated the lead pass nonsense and the monster jams, those things could be alleviated somewhat by sliders. People lazing about on plays can not. It's not like you can pump up the speed because then everything else is going to look ridiculous...and you will just have the guy walking 'quickly' to his spot which is no better anyways.

"But coach, I was walking real fast!"

Hah. Oh well, it looks like I'll just be working the ball around myself again this year.

Hopefully we get some more videos.. But not impressed so far by 2K9.. that Paul Pierce play in the end... ahhhh terrible... But lets wait for more vids and the demo... Hopefully I get my hands on the full game next saturday at a games convention in Amsterdam...

STill don't know if it will be 2k or live this year... 2K doesn't look to improve very much, besides the nice crowd and presentation.. love the pregame 'show'...
