Here's an idea. to prepare yourselves for the 5-on-5 thing why don't you guys make a thread. Players write up their tendencies, if they are a team player or prefers to hog the ball more. then you guys can choose people that will suit your team

i dunno...

on a side note all those features seem promising

# 122 WatchdogXC @ 07/20/08 11:45 AM

I'm pumped for 5 on 5. I don't care what role I play. I'd be happy being the defense and rebounder cleaning up the garbage underneath or running some pick and pops.

# 123 DC @ 07/20/08 12:23 PM

Man I want to know how they will choose who will play WHICH position. Imagine 5 random cheese dudes in the lobby picking the Cavs. Oh my god man. We really need spectator mode because I will LOVE to see that foolishness.

before anyone says 2k stole the dna feature from live, just remember that one of the devs(beluba?) switched teams so to speak... sorry if someone mentioned this already, but im on my phone and im not reading through all of the posts =)

I'm HAPPY!! I wasn't sure I'd pick up this game but I'm looking more at getting this sucker AND an XBOX Live Gold account. I've seen the promises before though. I'm just looking forward to execution. If the CAPS are solid, if the Association is top notch, and the teams play differently instead of just the same, then I'm a fan. Now that I'm working days, I'd even be down for a nice run with some of you OS guys. Definitley wouldn't mind getting taught more about the plays. Best way to learn is to get beat over and over right.......

As I've been playing with my the other 3 friends for ONE year on NBA 2K8
(with 4 controllers, 2vs2 or 4vsCPU)
I have obligation to tell you guys what might happen for a 5vs5 game.

No doubt this is a great feature, playing with other 4 human users in the same team, if it's not I would'nt be doing it for one year.
But even if you want to play sim game, it will still be difficult for 5 person to communicate on the court. So when 10 man running on the court without knowing what other teammates going to do, it will be hard to play a sim game.

Even if you and your four friends have discussed how you are going to play sim, as long as your opponent run like crazy, or cheese like lots people did, a sim game will not happen either.

I guarantee, you will enjoy 5 users VS 5 Adaptive AI more than playing with another 5 users.
And the system has to calculate the stats and efficiency for each user and add the number to the ranking system. So a guy playing Fisher with all his heart can still have better efficiency than a louzy Kobe.

# 127 DC @ 07/21/08 12:27 PM

Man I hope the game adds the efficiency rating (stat) - http://www.nba.com/statistics/efficiency.html

So I am assuming each person on each team should be able to pick his desired position at the controller select screen

# 128 ProfessaPackMan @ 07/21/08 01:10 PM

I will come off the bench if anybody needs a good role player. I have no problem being the James Posey of teams(minus the flagurant fouls)

# 129 ITSFAVRENOTFARVE @ 07/21/08 01:21 PM

Man 5 on 5 me and my guys can get a team running. Im gonna be the 3 Pt gunner.

CALLING ALL HARD CORE PS3 NBA 2K PLAYERS. If your favorite team is the Lakers. Send me a email at th05501@hotmail.com. We can start are plans to take over the world early. I do not care really who is Kobe as long as you know how to play, BUT I must admit, I am pretty good with Kobe so I don't mind playing hard D with Kobe and playing a team first style. I will throw my name in the hat as the SG Kobe.

I always play with the player lock option so it would be awesome if they included the feature that shows you exactly where to go during a play regardless if you have the ball or not. I think NBA2K8 had this feature but only showed the play diagram if you were the point guard.

# 138 Shakedowncapo @ 07/21/08 07:57 PM

Simballer, somebody already beat you to it with the avy...Maybe you should upload a picture of Elton Brand(2K9) in your avy :-)

# 139 SimBaller @ 07/21/08 08:00 PM

Never! Bum.

# 140 Shakedowncapo @ 07/21/08 08:01 PM

Hahaha...I smell a Clippers fan. Just make sure that mid range jumper is a 99
