sounds great.. even though in the pictures and trailer the lakers are wearing their white warmups when theyre supposed to be wearing yellow since the white ones only go with the white alternates

lol, like someone mentioned, its the tortoise and the rabbit effect.


Anyways, this stuff is pretty neat. I know people say, ooh why do they spend all this time doing these small things, well 2K has always been about the "little things" its in all their games. I remember when APF2K8 came out and see'ing all the little things in that game, i was blown away.

What makes 2K, 2K is gameplay and little things. Sometimes you hit rough patches, just like anything. Everything goes through rough times at times.


Anyways, awesome stuff.

LOL, 2k all the way. I agree with that theory that 2k just waits for Live to get done with all of their hype stuff and when the people come down they start to release info. Its like this every year, and no matter what Live does 2k is the better game every year.

The graphics look improved and I love the sound of more realistic facial animations. Sounds promising.

The amount of detail 2K puts in their games ("the little things") is amazing. I can't wait to play this.

NO, I think its a case of just like the MLB the show developers, don't blog on things that are a work in progress i.e. EA's process, blog on things you know is working and functioning properly hence after the game goes beta and close to gold. Then and only then you make those claims.

the detail looks and sounds great but i wonder if the frame-rate issues some of these things created last year in certain camera angles (2k cam) are fixed?
