The video is great, but I have a problem with it- it's essentially a 2K9 ad that is not representative of actual gameplay. Personally I don't think the video should be advertising 2k when almost all the footage is photoshopped 2K gameplay.

Great work Matt, I appreciate the hardwork, I just think it's kind of misrepresentative of NBA 2K9.

Yeah but it's just a bit of fun. I make it clear that a lot of photoshop work went into it. I'm hoping perhaps someone at 2K sees it and goes "You know, that looks great, lets add the short shorts and more throwbacks next year to really compliment our legends rosters, and maybe do a signature style where the player sticks his tongue out" haha

. Neither game really advertises it's legends, and I think it would be a nice selling point.

I agree. I seem to spend about 75% of my time messing with the legends and making my own little "throwback seasons." It would be great if they implemented Scotty's long arm motions and his layups. Rodman's flailing style of defense and high energy play, Magic's "showtime" moves, etc. I would drool (even more than I am now...lol).

EDIT: Great work again, by the way

# 8 Mintsa @ 10/20/08 10:52 PM

Wow !!!! How on earth do you make those man ??? That's just incredible.

# 9 DubTrey1 @ 10/20/08 11:34 PM

I know it does no exactly represent what you get in NBA2k9, but at least it gives them (2k) something to strive for - I mean, look at what one dedicated fan is doing here guys. Great work, now 2k - please give Mat the tools to do this in the game minus the photoshop and you guys will have achieved gaming greatness on all levels....

As always, amazing work. It's videos like these that show how much improvement there really is to make. Celebrations 2k....celebrations. Emotion, ect ect. The game is starting to look more and more like a real basketball, now take it to the next level and make it feel like it with some emotion.

Great work. Those were some awesome pictures. Brings back memories of how great Jordan really was.

# 14 Bumble14 @ 10/21/08 09:17 AM

I agree with you Matt on your last comment, it is great work. I honestly wish 2K would get their game to the point you have in your video, maybe next gen? haha.
