NBA 2K9 Hands-On Preview (Gamespot)

02:01 AM - August 19, 2008 by AI Crossover 3

Gamespot has posted their hands-on preview of NBA 2K9.

Quote:


	"In addition to the more cosmetic improvements in the game, new gameplay features have also been added to make the game more realistic than NBA 2K8. While the breadth of plays has carried over from 2K8, the off-ball movement of your AI controlled teammates is more consistent with the real NBA. Players automatically set off-ball screens to free up open teammates, cut to the rim when their defender cheats toward the ball, and generally space the court better. For those who do prefer calling set plays, 2K9�s addition of inbounds plays should make the final minutes of a close games a bit more technical. The improved AI applies to pick-and-rolls as well. After calling for a on-ball screen (done by pressing down on the right analog stick this year) players will either roll or pop depending on their actual tendencies."

I can't wait to see what the sig defense animations are. I'm praying for the patented Battier hand-in-the-face animation
