NBA 2K9 Quick Hitter Impressions

[edubbs]

Much appreciated Steve great stuff.

In regards to not seeing any overlays, here is what a Dev. responded with during the 2ksports.com QA that was posted a few weeks ago.


10.) Where there be accumulated stats (like NFL 2K5) where your stats follow you and the presentation display current game stats, career stats, playoff stats...etc?

A.) "Statistical overlays have returned to NBA 2K9 after a brief hiatus. These overlays will display at opportune times (free throws, dead balls, etc.) and will provide information such as game points, career average, etc."

Hopefully, the TV style overlays are in the final build.

And I think 2k7 had that too, and 2k6, and I'm sure 2k5 and below.

I'm kinda confused now lol. From what I understood, Bowen would be able to guard Kobe the whole game even if Kobe slides in the 3. That way, your second string SF won't guard LA's second string SF... At least that's what I understood from reading since Steve will not say that "this is something people will be happy about" if that said feature is already in the 2k's and belows.

In 2k7 if you put Bowen on Kobe and Kobe slid over the SF, Bowen would continue to guard whoever was at SG. It was by position, its sounds like now it goes by player.

I think its like that in 2k8 right now, but thats not the real issue. The problem was if Kobe went to the bench, it would reset when he came back (Bowen back to guarding Odom).
