At the time of this build, none, to very little, of that was implemented in the game. You guys are looking at footage that is 1/4+ of a year away from shipping. We're not going to let you down; the level of yelling and excitement I hear from people playing around the office on a daily basis is more than I've heard in years. Top to bottom, this is easily the best game in the NBA 2k series. You don't have to take my word for it; you'll see for yourself in a couple months.

thank u very much i was getting pretty scared cause i dont want another 2k8 and another kenny smith and craig sager

Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that there are a lot of big men that can keep up with the guards. Look at Greg Oden's numbers.

because in regulation nba basketball they actually have 7 timeouts not six and im glad they finally fixed this i hope in the end of games there is a way to choose between a full and a 20 second t-o that'd be tight

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because they are the leader in Basketball, and this was likely an early build. But do you really think they would get Kellogg and Miller to record filler phrases? Don't be surprised if all we get is the same commentary with different voices. That's what seems to be the case here. The one redeeming factor: End of quarter highlights.

didnt you here simballer dont worry about the commentary miller kellog and harland will come in after the game is all ready so they can talk about all the updated rosters its still the of season you know trades can happen still

You do realize, this means they are most likely still capturing commentary lines one at a time? That means incredibly choppy commentary will be awaiting us yet again. I don't understand how hard it is to simply scrap the script all together and have the two commentators watch a few 48 minute games being played through the game. That way it feels more natural. You can just substitute names and numbers where need be. It's just a little concerning that they still haven't been able to listen to our suggestions about how to capture NATURAL commentary, which is something that Live has been spanking the 2K series in for years now.

But hey, the game is still a few months from release. If I see footage of some REAL commentary in the game, I'll take back what I say. But I'm beginning to think they are using the same methods that they used before.

Yes he's a producer for the game the people with the pink usernames are people that work for game companies.

I'm not around here much but judging from the things I see he comes arouind once and a while to give us info. I guess you will see him post more as we get close to release date of the game.

As for what he said about the game progress, I figured it was an early build and I can't wait to see a more recent build.

# 170 Scoop 24 @ 08/07/08 03:19 AM

well that was waste . that looked exactly like 2k8.

guess ill wait till 2k8 release there official vids

# 171 keshunleon @ 08/07/08 09:29 AM

The video was nice, the games was a bit fast and sliding.
***EVERY B-ALL GAME WILL HAVE SLIDING SO SHUT UP ABOUT IT***.

The graphics are better and Kenny Smith says the same thing with a different voice. *** I KNOW ITS NOT KENNY***

Keep dissing 2K and hyping up Live (which is cool) but until Oct no one knows which game will be the best.
*** GOING OFF PAST EXPERIENCES; LIVE HASN'T BEEN BETTER EVER ***

Was a big Live fan and will never touch it again because the gameplay hasn't changed since 95.
*** SAME RUN, CROSSOVER 10 TIMES, AND UNREALISTIC MOTIONS ***

I believe Live and 2K has made great improvements for 2009.

All you sorry azz none sports playing TV sucka's crying and complaining about the crowd reaction in games need to SHUT UP and go to a real game.
*** CARING ABOUT THE CROWD MORE THAN THE PLAYERS ON THE COURT***

P.S. The crowd did get up for the alley at the end of the qtr.

# 172 DakkoN @ 08/07/08 09:50 AM

Who said anything about the crowd not getting up? I could of swore they commented on absolutely zero emotion coming from them after it. No cheers, no "blow the roof off the place" emotion, no nothing. They stood up. Whoopdy freakin' do

# 173 BezO @ 08/07/08 11:26 AM

Oh yeah, it looks like they saved the replays for the breaks. If so, that's the best info I got from that vid. Showing replays right after made baskets never felt right.

Yeah, I like what EA says they'll be doing in the future. Why not release vids as early as possible to get feedback? As we know, a small development team is not going to catch everything. The more eyes on early development, the more complaints, the better. Learn to embrace it VC.

Bypassing the language filter, inappropriate language you definitely need to find a better way of making your points stick.

You have been warned

I pictured Booker T saying that when I read it the first time lol

Actually without any numbers that's pretty reasonable

NBA court is 94 feet long

94/3= 31.3 yards

NFL players run the 40 yard dash all the time to judge speed, a .3 difference in speed is huge. Most fast players run something like a 4.4 second 40, with the difference between them being in the hundredths of a second.

With the smaller distance end to end combined with the likelihood that Rondo and another quick player are more similar in speed, even a .3 difference in speed would be huge
