Some gameplay footage and infos about the 2k insider.

And the couldn't have picked any dumber questions ..

Alright I just put new stuff in this thread:

Point Guard ratings
Damn.
Chris Paul 99, Baron Davis 94, Kidd 92 ... those ratings are something else
At least that are things we can easily change, but still ... damn!

New gameplay vids:

Hornets - Bulls
Suns - Nuggets Awesome presentation
Lakers-Celtics

Nice find!
So many promising things shown.
- Faces seem to look a lot more accurate and real looking
- Noticed quite a few new animations, such as some nice new passes from Paul and some new dribbling as well as player celebrations like Raja's after he nails that 3
- Presentation-wise they seem to have answered all our prayers for a game that presents like a real game on TV. Nice pre-game, intermission, and Gatorade sideline report. I like the change away from Craig Sager (or however you spell it).
- Gameplay - the only thing I noticed was the D seemed to be a little more aware, and responsive to what's around them, nothing major but the little things just seemed different on D
- Players move alot faster, AI sprinted down the court ridiculously fast, not a big deal, something that can be adjusted with sliders
- On offense teammates again seem a lot more aware, move around more and trying to get open without having to run specific plays (or so it seemed)

All in all I'm excited for this game once again. Seems to have the most improvement from last year out of all basketball games. I mean from 2k7- 2k8 nothing major really changed, 2k8 - 2k9 looks alot more promising.

P.S.

That link has screenshots of the ratings for all players, and also afew new videos including the IV teaser thingy which looks like shit. One of the videos shows off create a player which is the exact same as last year but w.e wouldn't use it much anyways.

One more edit. Eventually after all the ratings, there are some new in-game screen shots, look good.

Game looks good as usual but i've played the past 3 nba 2k games in a row...and along with with kevin harland's tired commentry as well as the minimal improvements from 2k8...I'm going with live 09. I'm afraid that their dna, 365 and be a pro gimmicks have snagged me...plus I need a change. If nba 2k9 ends up being marginally better than live..then I'll just trade it in.

cp3 is tha best pg thats why he's on top and deserves it.best gets tha best rating.

[Kbryant8]

Still, 99 is pretty high, kidd should be like 85 or something like that, Paul should be 92.

[Doobie]

You guys are used to NBA live ratings, 2k has always had its own way of rating things that hasn't changed.

[Dan's Brain]

Not only that, but overall ratings don't really mean anything. The individual ones are the only ones that are important.

[Cool2Fool]

2k Admin confirmed that those rating are false. Kobe and Lebron ratings are 101 I think the calculation comes out 101 after added all the attributes but on the screen it will only show 99 as max..
