Finally saw the video. Yeah it sucks that you can't edit weight and there are still only 3 body types. BUT, it's so good to see that we can finally create normal looking players again. That's enough in itself to get me back excited about creating players and running with lesser teams. Thanks for the video.

Although the CAP feature does look much improved with its skin texture and more options for accessories, I was really hoping for weight input and a lot more options for body types.
Well, there's always next year I guess...

I'm not saying that the gripes mentioned thus far aren't legit, but I've gotta say the biggest thing for me is that the CAPs now look like humans...lol. I really think the models look excellent. I'm also happy that you can adjust contract terms (excellent idea, IMO) and that all the sliders now seem to be independent. Works for me!
Steve, thanks a bunch for the vid!
While I agree that not much has been added, I'm just so ecstatic that the rookies in Association will actually look like real people (or at least as real as the other players in the game ), both in terms of their faces, skin tones and hair colors
About the three body types: I'm one of the guys who has complained the most about there only being 3 body types and would love if they added some more. That being said, I do think the models have been greatly improved for 2k9 - especially Thick doesn't look as chunky and god-awful as it did in 2k7/8. I would also appreciate control over a CAPs weight, but that's mostly because I get irritated when all my caps with the same height and body type weigh the same
I don't really care that much about accessories or shoes so I have no big complaints about any of that stuff. However I do agree that there should be more color options for the generic shoes, because it is sorta irritating that everyone just wears all white and black shoes. A thing I think needs some serious work for 2k10 (provided there's gonna be one) are the tats, because they have been more or less the same for a number of years now and they just aren't that well done - especially the lower arm ones
Something I find disappointing is that there are no new attributes or tendencies. I don't have any specific ideas for new ones, but I'd really wish that we had access to the clutch attribute. Also as a PAL PS3 owner I'm hoping and praying that they don't snub us when it comes to editing the standing dunk attribute But all the new signature stuff is great! (though Steve, my dear man, why didn't we get to see all the dunk/layup packages? You getting lazy on us )
Also loving that we now have control over the contracts, something I've really been missing when creating players. No more over-paid created rookies!

Funny that in all the gameplay vids (at least what I saw) all players who wear an elbow band - wear the longer one. Has anyone seen any gameplay vid with someone wearing the shorter one?

Wooooow Pharacyde and Dawn Penn? Man, I can't wait to hear this soundtrack...
nice vid, wish there were more options for the CAP, shoes, tats, accessories and such but the fact that they actually look human and the sliders are locked IMO is a big step in the right direction. Specially with all the other things they added to the game I can wait for more to be added to the CAP just as long as it will get touched sometime in the near future. Over all this game is looking great for me and can't wait till the 7th. Also wish they would do more with the create a team, (if they haven't) something similar to what they have in APF2k8 would be nice.

its nice vid and nice tracks cant wait to listen to them but im dissappointed by the lack of shoes nike has no lebron 6 no kobe 4 but thats juss me im a shoe freak
Thanks for the video Steve... good stuff
As far as NBA players... if you've ever stood next to one, they have an unusually low body fat percentage, and most of them are smaller than what you see on tv.. thinner so to speak, not all rocked up like a wrestler.
They're just cut because as I said, low body fat, the muscles are more defined, not hulky.

The thing that I love most about this vid is that player roles are editable. FINALLY I can make Manu stay a 6th man.

from what i can gather it still looks as though the "new" 2k8 attributes. [hands, strength, quickness etc..etc.] still dont contribute to the overall rating..
i hope im wrong..
because if so, thats annoying.
