NBA 2K9 Video: Nuggets vs. Suns

[timotim19]

I'm very disappointed that they used actual video for intros. That means that if Amare gets traded to somewhere else, whenever I play the suns, they'll still talk about him as the heavy guy and show the video.

Also, the commentary is just as disappointing as last year. Kevin Harlan has next to no new comments, and this other guy is just like Kenny Smith with a different voice. I do like the addition of Cheryl Miller though.

I assume that 2K alternates at random the top 2-3 highest rated players on the team and shows the real footage for those players. If you trade Amare off the suns, I dont think it will show that footage for your team anymore but for whoever the top guys (that already have footage in place) on your current team are. What this does do is possibly show footage of Amare on whatever team you trade him to, wearing his old teams uniforms (the suns). Lastly, 2K could skip all this by pulling a NHL2K9 and not show any of the pregame stuff during the regular season and save it only for the playoffs... we will have to see.

Maybe stuff like that is updated along with the living rosters or whatever that feature is called here.

Yes, they definitely have the ability to add this with their updates but I think what hes talking about is during our Associations... He's saying if he trades Amare off of the Suns (in his Association) even if he's still on the team in real life. Im sure 2K will update the footage as needed for basic pick up and play games but they have no idea how our association trades are going to go down. Like I said before, they most likely rotate at random the top 2-3 guys on the team so Spurs will have footage shown of Duncan/Parker, Sixers will have footage for Brand/AI #2 etc.

The videos only show in quick game, not in your association.

Amare can still get traded in real life. What would happen then? I bet the Grizzlies intro would have been loaded with Pau Gasol if this were in last year.

I'm sure that they have a way around it in case that does happen, though. I'm not worried. I'm just saying that it doesn't have to be in Association to be outdated.

Then skip it. It's really not that big of a deal.

Someone mentioned in the 2k forums that the team intros is based on who they think the best player will be in the current game.

I'm assuming if Amare is traded, they'll show another player..

Believe me, I'd love to skip the loading screens...

I don't know if you can toggle to a standard loading screen either, but that is the way the game loads.

Again, I'm not worried. I'm sure 2K has thought of everything.
