Good Choice

The CG reminded me of the early 2K6 teaser with Shaq. The actualy gameplay footage looked pretty though. Focus on KG's face throughout the footage, you'll notice the change in graphics. But I still feel they need to fix the jersey material.

Wow didn't think they could get him, kudos 2ksports.

It was a no-brainer really, and the clips at the end looked great. Finally someone gets KG's likeness down right.

So pumped and excited for 2K9

Yea they could've gone either the KG or CP3 route. Its a win/win either way. I think they are going the DPOY route and focus on defense this game(crossing fingers).

^You do know that isn't ingame right?

# 18 bluedevil259 @ 06/06/08 12:01 AM

I've never known 2k to use anything but ingame footage and screenshots. I really hope thats the case here. Thats incredible!

Still 4 months from release. Game is in it's early stages. I guess you don't remember the video that leaked last year just showing off the Jordan brand implementation and the Dunk Cam and how far the game came after that video.
