I can't believe more people aren't talking about the new UI (user interface). Look at those menus! The clairty of the text, the clean lines, the beautiful layout... it's like another team all together designed 2K9's UI! I just hope the main menus and such all are done in the same fashion.

Man this game looks crazy. I can't wait!

Then the updates would be quite similar to Live except that 2k would have a middleman between the game stats and the synergy information.

My thoughts exactly.

But you have to look at it like this.... ok ea lets its 365 feature first right?? so what if 2k didnt really have this 2kinsider yet until they found out about the live365? ok so lets say 2k did it your way and counteracted ea and did it better which they did..but this would give ea time to put in some other gmmick and then 2k would be scwed because they already have the game done and ready. by 2k letting this info go today ea has no way to come back and do something else to make there feature better because the game is already done so ea has what it has now and 2k has the wayyy upperhand.

It's coming out tonight but they said that it's only going to be released for half an hour before they take it down. They want us to be excited so they said to wait around on xbox live until they release it.

I highly doubt EA or 2K would've been able to upgrade something like Living Rosters or Live 365 in that length of time. I think it would be way too late in the development cycle for something like that to happen.

Is that true about the demo comming out for only an half an hour?

To add to his comment, if your download time exceeds the length of time that the demo is up then it will not be completed and therefore will not be able to play. For example, if we release it at 9:30 your download better be done at or before 10 or you're out of luck. Sorry.

Im gonna have to disagree, only because it would make a lot of sense to be secretive against EA.

I guess you could be right but you never know.

Man, are you ever nice to people?

# 157 deetoman @ 09/17/08 11:36 PM

Well dang!!! For once I might play each team at least once in my Association.....

# 158 J-Unit40 @ 09/17/08 11:40 PM

This game looks phenomenal. The total package of NBA2K9 will be hard to top by another video game. 2K9 just raised the bar that much higher.

You have to be kidding me. CP3 is much better than Iverson at this point. I don't even think this is debatable.
