Well, it looks like created players will look more realistic than ever before. Not only that, but we'll also be able to deck the players in a ton of different looks and gear. Now, if they'd only fix the calf-sleeves and add an automated home & away (alternate) accessory system and it'd be perfect.

Every NBA player name (like Joakim Noah) should be selectable.

They have double rubberbands, normal forearm band, shorter forearm band, a new elbow sleeve, and a couple new knee braces. That is plenty!

Yeah, it sucks that they lost their deal w/ Reebok. Especially, since their original coverboy A.I. is stuck wearing plain white & black kicks. Hopefully, next season they can get Reebok, Converse and (least likely) And-1 on board for 2K10. If not, I wouldn't mind the return of create-a-shoe but enhanced 10X more than 2K5.

I love it, I've got a ton of player editing to do. One of my favorite parts about sports video games. I even like that they've eliminated armbands above the elbow, a "on-court" dress code violation in the L.

Dude, your just like me, I'm updating player accessories on 2k8 till this day. Having all the accesories correct on the player gives the game a great feel of authenticity.

Thats what im trying to figure out, why would 2K add those songs, they dont add anything to the sport of basketball and even though last year's soundtrack was off (Ill leave it at that) this would be really out there.

The funny part is that I'm a Spurs fan, and none of those guys consistently rock accessories, yet I'm constantly editing nearly all the players to their real-life counterparts gear. I'll definitely be changing 99% of the players to that smaller forearm-band, that's for sure.

Man this soundtrack will be dope..Last year they had a lot of Dilla tracks which was pretty nice (Dilla = The Greatest)..These songs have more of a streetball mixtape feel to them so I love it lol

Me too. I realize in this day and age it is becoming impossible to be authentic in this regard for some game companies unless you have a boat load of cash to pay these parties for that right. I'm surprised they don't have reebok though(Aren't Addidas and Reebok partners?I thoght one bought the other out)

True, and Pritchard (G.M. of Portland) is a disciple of the Spurs front-office. They'll also soon be dominanting the L with their own version, combined alot younger too, of the "Twin Towers."

# 33 ehh @ 09/20/08 11:13 PM

Not a ton of new stuff but the players themselves look way better. I like the few new wrist/forearm bands and the double rubber band is nice.

I really wish they'd step it up w. the kicks though. I love having sucha huge selection in EA's games but at least they got the Hyperdunks in 2K9.

Correctamundo my friend. I just watched the vid over again and relaized there are buttloads of new freethrow, dunk/layup, and post packages this year, i'm hyped.

# 35 B-Wills @ 09/20/08 11:24 PM

Looks pretty good, still have that stupid "Headband 1" though, come on 2k it's been 4 years and still no multi color head bands/different style head bands? Christ.

# 36 stizz @ 09/20/08 11:34 PM

Mine has a full loaded bar, but stops when Steve is writing his last name. It won't reset if I refresh either. Could someone who can/has watched the vid post screenshots of the 2 different sized armbands and the combined wristband and forearm band. Cheers.

# 37 Shinyhubcaps @ 09/20/08 11:39 PM

In my complaints, I forgot to mention:

THEY LOCKED THE SLIDERS! HALLELUJAH!

It was cool that I could adjust nares size, but whenever I did, the guy's face would cave in and turn purple. No more, my friends!
