NBA 2K9 Video: Association Part 1

I noticed the eye color thing and had to do a double-take. I'm a little surprised, but I don't know how much it affects me.

That Bucks box score was awful. Jefferson had only 14 minutes?

Also, with the ratings viewer, even if you look at their ratings, you probably won't remember what they were rated in everything by the time you reach the end of the season, especially since most people play their seasons and will be selecting mid-late 1st round.

Oh, forgot to mention. I nitpick, but everything looks great. Thanks for uploading this, Steve.

Umm, this isn't the final build correct? Maybe this will be filled in later... who knows

Please add this in one of your updates.

i would much rather have a black silhoutte and the ability to edit a players appearance then a stupid picture and some douche bag that looks all fat with blonde afro.

Thanks for the vid Steve. Looking forward to seeing some more Association footage.

My question,

Are there game by game, daily or weekly highlights like in NFL 2k5?
What other good things are in the Association and the Regular game?

It actually looks like you can hit the RB or LB in order to get more options on appearance changes. So yeah, on "face", you can only change eye color but if you hit RB, it probably goes to hair, facial hair, etc.

As said, the point to this feature and what makes it so cool isn't that you can go look at their attributes and self-cheat the game, but that you can make sure one of the top prospects you wish to draft doesn't have fire-engine red hair with a flat-top. Heh.

This will also help the hardcore amongst us that play four seasons plus and see the rare draftee here or there with the same name as someone drafted years prior.

I'm also surprised that nobody is excited about the option to change shoes. That is huge, as four years in... most players had plain white shoes on 2K8.
