I must be one of those with a good eye because I notice that the game doesn't look that great graphically...the textures don't seem to stand out, and players look dull at times...

Do not like both. Never ever did. I tolerated it in 2k7. In 2k8 I just gave up since I felt the control was better in NBA Live 08(I said CONTROL) and just stuck with NBA Live 08. NBA Live 09 is much better letting me do what i want to do with my controller.

But now with 2k9 I'm TRYING to tolerate it because very other aspect is good

It's mostly noticeable from afar and at certain camera angles.

When you zoom in the game looks much better but some textures look just... bad, IMO. Again, PS3 here.

Man Tomba you gotta use the shot stick man. Buttons to shoot the ball are obsolete. Just go in practice mode and play around. You have SO much control man

The only reason you think you don't have control is because you don't know the commands. TRUST when you get it, there will be no turning back

I know exactly what you mean.. but that's a trade-off for the numerous amount of animations in the game. Sometimes you'll get something that you didn't want but IMO, that's rare. It's tolerable and has gotten much better over the years.

You should really learn the shot stick man. Once you understand it, it's very, very good and full of depth.

Blah. I'm working a 28 hr shift... starting this evening at 4pm. No more demo playing for me. I have to find my camera cord before I leave though. Just threw a couple of sick oops to KB24... then Pierce finds Ray Ray for an oop on the other end.
