NBA 2K9 Beta Screenshots (9-23-08)

In the world of video games they do.....

Is it me or do the 1st/2nd team all-NBA and all-defense look the exact same in every year?
I was surprised when neither Lebron nor Dwyane Wade won the MVP like they usually do in 2k basketball games.

No, that's the problem. Nobody in 2k8 (or 2k9 for that matter) averages over 12 rpg.

No they DON'T. THAT is the issue.

Dwight averaged 14.1 last year and Marcus Camby, 13.1. If you completely ignore those two then the rebound averages look good.

#1 in the very first post

2ks award system is all messed up. They only take into account stats and combine them. That is why Dwight Howard or Garnett win DPOY every year. A Ron Artest would never win in 2ks system because he doesn't average enough boards. Jason Kidd will always be on an All NBA team because he averages way more boards than any other PGs.

Not too bad. only stat that really stands out is from the 3pt shooting %.. Atleast 8 guys averaginging above .480. in real life, its maybe one guy who is barely at .480.

Regarding rebounding numbesr, both dwight and marcus had career years with 13 and 14 rpg.

going back 4 seasons, kg had 13.5 on 04-05, with ben wallace getting 12.3. the next season was kg with 12.7 and dwight 12.5. after that was KG 12.8, and tyson 12.4, dwight 12.3.

most of these guys career numbers are anywhere from 10 to 12 rpg cinluding duncan, ben wallace, boozer.

2k is off by maybe 1 rebound. there has to be a guy in there with 12 rpg or higher..

not much to complain about in the context of everything else

WOW

those team points per game are way to high!

every team is averaging over 100 ppg. even the spurs?
