NBA 2K9 Video: Lakers vs. Celtics

[Nodima]

I played maybe 300 games on 2K6 over 2 years, and probably around 800 on 2K8 in the past year. I can't wait until I play 800 games of 2K9 and 2K10 (they'll need to go to 2010 instead of 2K10 at this point, I hope) and finally get jaded enough with 2K to not be totally amped for this game.

This is game speed on 40? Why do they even bother with game speed settings slower than this?

Players moving up and down the court (well, technically left and right) are going at a near-proper speed, but overall gravity and ball speed is far too slow.

This game does not look to be flowing as well as I had hoped.

You are correct...don't feed the Live trolls

Lowering the game speed to 0 is a great way to learn the nuances of the game. Because of the slow motion, your reactions are perfect defensively and you can tell exactly what place you need to be for various situations.

That was actually an issue I had last year, because without lock on D, a driving player would bounce or slide off of and around defenders and there was no real way to take a charge against the CPU.

Lol on the Odom dunk at the end, the "OOHHHHH!!!" commentary clip.. You could still definitely hear Kenny in there.
Otherwise sweet video, looks like I will be playing @ 40 game speed.

Come on man.. they're being sarcastic because the guy is trying to get a reaction out of 2k fans.

Truth is, there has been a lot of wait for all these gameplay videos, we've gotten little to no news in months except a few screenshots in which they expected us to 'drool' and hype each other up.

What 2k marketing didn't realize is that this type of strategy can easily backfire because people's anticipation will lead them to become more critical of what is given near release date.

Everyone here is really anxious to play, and I have no doubt everyone here will own a copy of the game come October 7th.

I also have no doubt numerous highlight videos will be shown with continuous brand new animations we've never seen before. The possibilities for sig moves are endless in this game simply due to the fact you can change shots at will (as proven by all the amazing reverse dunks and adjusted layups by momentous's trailer video).

Only thing I don't like is Pierce's jumper. Still doesn't have that natural fade to it that he puts on his midrange jumper. Not smooth enough. Dammit. One more year of not having fun going one on one with my favorite player.
