^^^Yup

However, I just looked at the credits for NBA 2K9 (which included a special thanks to O.S btw), and Kevin Garnett name didn't even appear in the NBA talent portion of the credits. All the guys that did motion capture for 2K8 did however, even Shaqs' name appeared in the NBA talent section and he did motion capture for NBA2K back in 05. I would find it kind of ridiculous that one of your main selling points is sig style, add to that fact that they've paid for the athlete to be on the cover of their product; why would they have someone else try and replicate that athletes' shot and not get any motion capture sessions with them? Not saying that it couldn't have or didn't happen, it just would seem strange to me, if they didn't get any sessions with K.G, they should definitely try to take advantage of having one of the most skilled basketball players in the world on their product now, even if they did it moreso for his name.

That's interesting because I was thinking since K.G. was on the cover of 2K9, how come his sig shot was the same from the previous year? And I hate how it looks in 2K9. I guess you never know sometimes what these companies are doing especially taking advantage of some key sources/talent.

Off topic, but I personally think that Live and 2K should fly in and pay Ray Allen to get his shot down perfectly. He has one of the greatest forms I've ever seen and no man can replicate it. Both games failed on the form and timing of his shot. Get it right.

Hopefully they take full advantage of Kobe and get everything down to the T.
