Looks like the turnarounds are toned down a bit as well.. in 2K8 you could hit those over basically anyone with basically anyone... even Ben Wallace would hit a few now and then.. in 2K9 he just got STUFFED. Looks good.
I hated that. Basically anyone with a decent post rating suddenly had a hook and turnaround fade in their arsenal.

I recall some guy hitting multiple fades with Dwight, some from the free throw line, all because of his 95 offensive post rating. Sickening.

Looks MUCH better this year.

thanks a lot steve! i actually think this video alone puts the 2k "major announcement" to shame.

i have been viewing the operation sports 2k forum since last year and i finally decided to register.

i think what you guys have going on here is far supperior to what they are doing at 2ksports.com.

im donating to OP today, and i really support what you guys have going on here.

great work steve and OP mods!

Thanks again, Steve. You've been great with posting all of these new videos, screens, and articles.

I really like what I say from Deng defensively.

Ok, here's my breakdown.

What's good:

- LeBron's "And 1" reaction
- LeBron's new signature shot
- Shot-stick adjustments look smooth
- Deng misses the FT, takes a few steps back and wipes the sweat from his brow
- Gooden complaining after getting stripped
- Rose's little glare towards the ref (who isn't standing there), after heavy contact but no call
- Once Z touched the ball, the crowd gave reaction as opposed to before they would only cheer if you took a shot with that player
- The pass to a cutting Rose off the offensive rebound
- They sped up subbing players running to their spot on the floor
- They sped up the FT shooter's "post-shot" animation, you don't get stuck it looks like
- CPU's offense is less stagnant and passes are QUICK
- Charging foul!
- LeBron's FT routine

What's not so good:

- Steve taking a fadeaway with Ben Wallace
- A lot of blocks, even on jumpers (LeBron got blocked on his shot)

...and I'm officially ridiculously excited!

I've been playing 2k8 all day and after watching that..wow, what an improvement!

So many more animations, graphics looks awesome, a CHARGE!..everything looks great!

Dare I say, the AI plays very close to a Human? They are no longer robots running off algorithms, you can see them make mistakes. They're prone to error as well it seems. They seem to match whatever tempo has been set, even if it means playing a little sloppier. They pass quick, and actually drive to the rim. This new Adaptive AI could be a godsend.

LeBron doing his And 1 fist count it things is awesome.

LeBron taking nearly every shot for the Cavs was not... I fully expected to see you try the amazing helicopter shot by Anderson Varejao when he was backing down...um, Gooden I think.

Very nice vid, thankee Steve.

if you go to the konsol kings steaming video, i think he is playing an association in some of the games with the heat. in those games, the crowd seems much calmer. maybe the quick game is a representation of the playoff crowd?

just an idea.

Shotstick looks great. But yea, there's still quite a bit of blocks. There had to have been around 5 in that short clip.
