40 is definitely too slow for me. College Hoops 2k8 had a game speed and a player speed slider. I loved the way the game played when I had the game speed at 60 and the player speed at 40.

If they didn't bring the player speed slider over to this game then that's unfortunate because with both those sliders everyone would be able to tune the game to flow exactly how they want it.

Some of the new plays in that video are directly from College Hoops which isn't a bad thing. Really wish they would give Derek Fisher a good shot, I always thought that Chris Bosh's shot on 2k7 would be PERFECT for D-Fish but they still keep giving him knock offs

I think derek fishers shot is good.

Enough of this crap... discuss the game not other posters

It was a re-hashed Rafer Alston's shot I think, maybe Udonis Haslem. Shooting from the side of the forehead instead of cocking it back like Bosh's shot on 2k7 did and like Fisher does in real life, and like how Boozer shoots.

2k8 had player and game speed but it was only in the season/association modes.

Looks like sliders might be good at maybe 45

You guys keep harping on the fact that PP got to the 3pt line slow on that last play, but good lord how can you miss the fact that KG was in prime post up position calling for the ball and Rondo completely ignored him in order to throw Pierce that pass?

I wonder if the sig shots are all still off of stand stills or if you can do them in motion if you're moving. Thats one thing that Im hoping they got in the game.

Overall... I need to see more

In reality Rafer kinda brings his shot from down low though and at an angle whereas Fish's shot is more like you're describing it. They should be nothing alike.

As an Association only player, that would great for me if its still there.

I also thought he was going to throw it down to KG cuz he was in his signatue post up position.

Man I wish the jumpers were like the animations in CAP..In game they are too high and slow

# 72 23 @ 09/20/08 02:58 PM

That was my point, although it was only one time... dont know if this is a frequent occurance or not.

Here's hoping to Steve having a 2k9 itch and can't stop recording videos

Seeing too many videos doesn't put a damper on the game for you?

I agree with you that this board is a little too obsessed with commentary. It has never ruined a game for me. Also co-sign on the crowd.

I disagree about commentary, I get so excited by the plays, that if commentary was better and they actually discussed and talked about my players or their performance, I would be inclined to feel even more excited.

When I listen to marv and kerr talk about the game, Kerr really goes indepth. For example he talked about Gasol's ability in the post, and how he's been manhandling the opposing team down there the entire game. They go indepth about players and teams, and they also re-visit instances earlier in the game. Commentating would really take this game over the top since the gameplay is so fun.

Booted up good ol' 2K7 to get a look at Bosh's old shot again, yeah, that shot was perfect for Fisher.. He cocks that all the way back to his shoulder just like Fish does. Looked at some other shots, and Fisher's shot in that video is definitely Udonis Haslem's sig shot, which isn't like Fisher's at all because it's from the top of his head. Not trying to make a big deal over it but it just irritates me that they literally took out a perfectly good shot for him out of the game and made it not even selectable on 2k8

Ironically, if a specific play hadn't have been run there, Rondo may have given the ball to KG based on the good post up position. The A.I. probably still isn't dynamic enough to deviate from the called play instantaneously, if a great look becomes available early in the set.

Well not when im just looking for specific things.

I will get tired of it at some point and will just want to play though.

That was a low bball iq move and a bone headed decision by Rondo, because KG was there for a long time.

As I said, hopefully it doesn't happen too often

Steve was controlling Boston. Blame Steve.

I didn't say it didn't add to the experience it just doesn't take anything away for me. I totally agree about the commentary in Live. It definitely makes the game more enjoyable. As far as 2k is concerned, just because the commentary isn't in Live's league, it doesn't make 2k less enjoyable.
