Im not talking about the podcast, Im talking about the blog photo.

Yeah, hopefully they've got some sort of tool to add missing players (finally), so that if another Jamario Moon-type blows up out of nowhere, we'll have him in the game. I don't really care if it looks completely like the player either.

Where else would the game store the roster updates and patches? You need a HDD for any of the patches and this won't be any different

Nah i got the arcade one that came with no HD and a disc with uno and pacman on it lol

Might be small to some, but I really dig the fact that the game keeps track of player/season/franchise/career milestones. That alone gives me more reason to keep trudging through the association, especially if the gameplay is as good as touted.

The addition of more stats = bingo
Association headlines = bingo
animations added throughout season = BINGO
Bird rights = awesome

Day 1 purchase boyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I can get Lebron's and Kevin Martin's shot down, but not Kobe. Some game you have to hold down the x button other times its little quicker. Too inconsistant.

X button... You philistine

So as hard as it may be for some people, 2K I hope you don't release a demo. Instead a few gameplay videos would be even better.

Although I feel the same way, a lot of guys here will totally melt down if they don't, and start going all Oliver Stone with the conspiracy theories.

The inclusion of new downloadable animations has me incredibly excited. This would basically mean that the game will almost NEVER be stale, you will constantly see new animations as the months go by as you're playing this game. I'm just curious to know how many and how often they will release (animation packages?) throughout the year, since this feature could obviously blow up in 2Ks face if they can't get them out in a timely fashion.

Its pretty much a lock that its going to be rough around the edges with this being the first year of the feature, but since they have gone so far as to emphasize that there is a guy who's specific job it is to update these things then one would expect that they're going really going to try and stay on top of the updates.

Fellas it will be the longest 20 days of our lives...

# 98 i c u cant stop me @ 09/17/08 09:15 PM

Man i wonder what easports is thinking now...lol they released a demo, videos, gameplay videos and 2k just rolls this info out today and it already blows live out the water. lol

# 99 Rebel_INS @ 09/17/08 09:15 PM

Well my friend it's time to pony up that cash for a HD. I'm pretty sure the animations will be pretty large files.
