NBA 2K9 Community Questions

Recently Chase Becotte checked out NBA 2K9 and then came back on the forums and answered a ton of questions about the game. Now, with so many previews being released during this week -- mostly rehashing the same info -- Chase thought it would be better to just post some of the best questions and answers from the community thread and post an article for convenience.

I hate this time of the year. I hear all these new things about the 2K basketball game and get even more impatient waiting for it to drop.

Is it October yet??

Da@mm!t...

ONLINE PLAY SECRET REVEALED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big announcement concerning online play is 5 on 5 association mode. Players can go up to 5 players this year in the association mode. This spices things up because deals can be made and you can be sent to another team. For example, if my team were the Lakers and I wanted to trade Lomar Odom to Houston for Artest. I could very well do so. The fun thing is that Artest will be controlled by whom ever was controlling him during the association. So this provides more realism as if you really are the player. There will be a vote on if the trade should go through. 5 people on my team will vote yes or no. In this case 3 of the 5 players wanted Odom out and 3 or more players on Houston agreed with the trade. This is the big surprise that 2K is holding back. Imagine how many grudges will be held if you traded your friend/teammate. This is what I am hearing from a relative who works in the gaming industry.

The chances of them trading me are less likely then the trading Kobe.

# 7 rudeworld @ 08/22/08 11:38 PM

does this replace the preview chase should have done?

# 8 Ijeswannaknow @ 08/23/08 01:36 AM

NOBODY ASKED THIS! ...Are there any (Flagrant Fouls or Technical Fouls for Coach's and players)? Can you argue bad calls like in MLB 2K7 and 2K8? That would be a nice feature to finally have! OS find out for me!!!!

# 9 Checmate101 @ 08/23/08 01:40 AM

Man..This game sounds like it's going to be one of the best, hope they're not just blowing smoke gettin people all hyped up.

My guess is no. NBA tends not to like that in the games.

So Chase, what do you think about the Online Secret Reveal post? How true do you think this is. Also, what is your guess about the online secret?

What do you think about this addition to the game if it is in fact true?

Forget what the commissioner or the league wants if it's a part of the game it should be in the game, and I want flagrants in the game and ejections, that would be a beast.
