Thanks steve..

This year, you guys are really going all out eh? Makes up for the lack of 2K's marketing department. Thanks a bunch Steve!

Woah, Nash's team option was declined? Weird.

Cleveland in the Lottery!? Was LeBron significantly injured during the season? Sixers too. Very weird.

Thank you Steve.. Much appreciated.. Franchise mode makes up about 90% of my sports gaming so I've been looking forward to seeing some footage or info about it.

# 4 mars blackmon @ 09/24/08 12:43 AM

good stuff, much obliged...

# 5 Sinner @ 09/24/08 12:44 AM

Thank Steve, wish you would have drafted a big man for the Bobcats, a decent center 6' 11 - 7 ft and kept Dudley for a spark off the bench

Can't wait for this game, running with Celtics and Bobcats

I really liked the draft lottery filling in in real time. Haven't ever been it, was it like that in 2k8? But overall, Association looks really, really good! Thanks Steve!

Offseason doesn't look any different behind the new menu. Which is a complete shame. I was kinda hoping they'd have those NBA.com headlines during the offseason. It would make things more lively.

Damn Steve, you don't ever rest, do you? Thanks again.

true.. i did see some preseason stuff on nba.com menu but that was AFTER he went through the offseason.. unless you can backout via the rightstick and look at the interface.. he just showed us the basics here. i cant wait to get started.

i like the fact that one of the guys wanted to test the FA market. steve never attempted to see what others were offering and try to get him back.. thats just fine though. thatll leave me some stuff to look into when i get it.

i didnt play much 2k8, but you can perform the training camps and even the scouting drills, right???

Not training camp, that's simmed to give your guy a set improvement on their attributes. You can run the scouting drills though. I wouldn't call them drills, it's really just 1v1, 2v2, 5v5 and shootaround. Unless they added some.

Shouldn't the bobcats have enough money to sign Some one like boozer or marion? i hope there isn't salary cap issues again.

Nope Bobcats shouldn't have cap room. They signed Okafor to a big contract and last year took on Jason Richardson's big contract from the warriors. That should already put them over the cap that along with whoever he resigned himself which puts him more over the cap.

I know it has very little to actually do with the game, but DAMN the new menus and graphics look good. Just another improvement to add to the overall experience. Plus that was cool that you used Bob's Cats because thats who I plan to use in Association. Just gives me a preview of what to expect in the first offseason.

There was a "Home" option in the main menu section

Touche. Didn't catch that.

# 18 LutherHeadJob @ 09/24/08 03:30 AM

The new looks is pretty sick but all the off season stuff are identical to last year's game

# 19 thereginator28 @ 09/24/08 03:43 AM

Thanks Steve.

As good as the Beastie Boys are, when I heard "Sofa King" I nearly shat myself.
