We've just posted another NBA 2K9 video. This is part 1 of a few association videos, over the next few days. I'll try to upload a gameplay video later this evening, no promises.
Yeah, I think thats messed up. They have 4 Top 10 players on their team at their position.(Iggy, Miller, Samuel, and Brand) as well as a solid supporting cast.
Even if you can't edit the faces of prospects, that feature is a huge addition for me. It's going to be way better than importing from CHoops ever was. Hopefully the prospect database is large enough that we can sift through it and find a close enough face for each real life prospect. It may be a bit more work that way but it'll definitely be worth it for me.
I finally should be able to get into Association mode now. Nothing is worse than when I tried to rebuild the Knicks the last few years and every year the draft would be a disaster, whether they were imported or randomly generated rookies. Derrick Rose getting drafted in the 2nd round and having 81 for quickness and 84 for speed, even after being edited and bumped up in CHoops - terrible.
This will definitely be the first feature I test out when I get the game and hopefully they can change it for the final build where we can edit all aspects of the prospect's face.
Imagine if you can import and edit prospects....would really help A LOT!!!!
Also, I hope this is an early build bcuz only being able to edit the eye color just doesn't make sense...I know/hope 2k is better than that. I am confident that the final build will allow more.

Just watched the video again and there's no "Import Draft Class" in the menu this year.
as long as generic players look like human beings im fine. if i get extremely picky i may go in there and edit some tendencies or shot styles.. But im ok with having a fantasy world in franchise. I cant control everything. Ill let Jim Brewer become the next Kobe and see him progress. im fine with that.
it does appear we can edit ratings and all that other stuff which sparks some interest. but If I lend myself to editing one guy, I would feel slighted for not doing it with everyone
Another clue that the rosters might not be finalized in these builds...looks like a lot of the star players have neutral personalities...LeBron's at least expressive, right?
all of you must have missed it, look at "eye color" it has the green "A" button from an xbox controller beside it. it looks like you use the "A" button to switch the face options, instead of scrolling.
Who cares about not being able to edit apperances for rookies. C'mon now, its all about the gameplay. I don't care how my rookies will end up looking. As long as the gameplay as improved, I'm good. Red hair, green eyes, who gives a crap. You guys act like this is a game killer or something.

there it goes again..taking value out of other peoples complaints lol
A lot of people care. That is why so many people have been commenting on it
That's the problem. Nobody is praising 2k for its far improved presentation, terrific and more diverse gameplay, improved graphics, the deeper Association Mode, etc... no. Instead, what are they doing? Complaining about a computer generated rookie's hair color, and Tim Duncan's sock color.
With that said, the funniest aspect about all of it is that each and every complainer on this board will end up buying and enjoying the game.

Who said they're not getting the game?
People always dwell on negatives...
Have you been reading reading the forums? There has been plenty of praise regarding the revamped prez, assoc, and gameplay options.
The point is that with all of the complaints, people will still love the game. They whimper about the minor negatives, and feel strongly enough to make it sound as though the world is ending... yet they will still buy and love the game. That's my point.
As far as the praise, Momentous - I agree that there has been some, and I like to see it. But there has been more negative than positive discussion; that's undeniable.
EDIT: P.S. Momentous - that trailer was amazing. Good work.
