NBA 2K9 Video: Association Part 1

The swaying windows looked pretty nifty and I like the NBA layout. I cant wait to get started on my Grizz's dynasty.

It doesn't. RB and LB goes between Accessories, Hair, Face, Details, etc. If you look at the other video, All of the face stuff is in one menu.

The other video had "Hair", this one doesn't.

Thanks Steve, but 2k come on man always screwing it up. When i saw you can edit prospect i was jumping for joy i was praying that edit the age i jump for joy again then when it came to face i see eye color only i paused for a minute then Im scream out "WTF are you fing serious"!!!! Why do this man, why are you keep torturing me 2k please dont let this be the final product.

If the rookies are messed up again this year I might switch to Live, wow. Yes it is that important to me. I don't want some fire red haired pale guy being the stud prospect and not have the ability to edit him.

It showed a rookie in the video. He's a normal looking black man.

I'm glad they fixed some of the little things, like rookie contracts. Thanks 2K.

I would too, thats just it. 2K is putting themselves in this situation by their lack of change with the feature. What they face here is a situation where if they allowed you to edit the rookies faces however you wanted, it wouldn't match the pre-made pic that was created for that rookie... this would look odd because you could take that black rookie in the video and edit his skin color to make him white, yet you will still see that black rookie pic associated with the white rookie whenever they show his player card in menus/during the game.

Problem #2 would come into play if 2K said **** it, every prospect that the user changes automatically gets the black silhouette instead of the pre-made picture... now the problem is that most of the league would then have a black silhouette because I will most certainly want to edit most of the prospects in the game in some fashion weather it be hair/skin/looks for variety purposes.

The solution here would be for 2K to come up with a better way of showing the created players and rookies so that they are represented exactly how they look in the game... the only way to do that is to have the game take a realtime snap shot of out players. NBA Inside Drive did it on XBOX 1, I dont see why they cant do it now.

Lastly this is needed more now than ever before because we dont have a CHoops this year so trying to make accurate draft classes though editing them is very important. Not letting us change the look of the rookies is stupid and has rendered this whole feature useless now.
