I was also wondering since everything the team does to build is based on the coaches style, if coaches were fireable and hirable? It sounds like a new coach would change a whole system Which is realistic, I guess. But can the game bring that aspect to life as well? I was also wondering if plays and playbooks were linked to teams or to coaches? If Phil Jackson moves to OKC does the triangle offense go with him? Or will a new coach be stuck with the old system?

Does anybody know? Can you hire, fire and trade coaches?

If there are some nasty bugs/glitches that ruin this gem, it's going to be one of the biggest disappointments ever.

2K's track record is not good in this regard, so let's hope they turn the tides this year.

all sounds too good to be true really.

sounds like they have the AI moves and simmed stats perfect, but i cant see it being that great in actuality.

something about this game is going to dissapoint, its a fact, but for the life of me i cant see what.

wow! can't wait for NBA 2K11...

I was already sold, but I screamed at work after reading that. The only thing I hope they also improved are...

1. Commentating (was great last year)
2. Online franchise - wish you could run one with only 2 players like Madden

You are right. I screwed up it was 99 not 2000. I'm getting old.
