NBA 2K9 Video: Heat vs. Blazers

[Rockafella2x]

I dont know why ppl are mad about it looking like 2k8. 2k9 didnt need a whole new face lift the things that were wrong with 2k8 have been improved in 2k9 thats why it looks like 2k8. DO u really expect a sports game to have completly new animations from one year to the next?

For me, there were a lot of things to like about the vid. I've been busy the last few days, so maybe I'm not experiencing the fatigue that some of you are with the vids, but there are some real exciting things here. The AI pay is much better. I haven't seen that old robotic, wait for the last second and shoot the jumper AI. I'm also seeing some nice missed shots by the computer on the inside, but we'll see if that holds up on HoF. The animation of Wade on the blocking call was sick. Charges are back in the game, which almost warrants a purchase all on its own, and the ball handling seems more explosive and less canned. The off the ball activity is also a great big leap ahead of 2k8.

I still reserve judgement until I get my hands on the demo, but there are some really nice things here in these vids. Thanks again, Steve. 2k8 didn't need a revolutionary change. I love the overall system, and I'm more than content with them refining the gameplay and adding new features, like online 5-on-5.

I've seen all the vids put up, even in low res, they look awesome. The presentation is superb. Ok, not the commentary so much...
Love the end of quarter cut scenes/replays. 2k takes the crown yet again this year.

does anyone know if the all-star game is still in Association mode? Someone told me it wasn't anymore.

Nate McMillan didnt equivocate when he declared that Blake was the starter but you are right even if Bayless was the starter he wouldn't run that much of the offense.

I saw Aldridge take two mid range jumpers but he usually takes them from the left side of the floor, not in the same spot Marcus camby shoots from (above the ft line)

That said, nope that wasn't Blazer ball.
