I've been too busy to do much patching lately.
Getting a new PC soon, still won't have alot of time for 2k9 tho. I have done a few small things that haven't been released but in the last 2 weeks haven't done anything at all. I hope to have more time for patching in 2k10. And will try to transfer the 2k9 patches over to 2k10. Because I think most defeault headshapes and CF will look the same and have the same problems. It was said at gamespot.com I think, that overall size of the players will be smaller (more realistic). I think the lighting will look better, but the headshapes and textures will be the same, except maybe smaller head and body.
One thing about rookies, the hardest thing for most of them is the headshape. 2k10 will have good rookies headshapes. So the patches for 2k10 rookies will be 1000% better then the ones we make now. If we make them now, they will only be used for 2-3 months before 2k10 is released. Some stuff can be transferred over like the skin (I think I have a good Thabeet skin ready to go), but it's hard to be motivated to spend so many hours making a new rookie headshape when in a few months, there will be better 2k10 ones to use. A good example is OJ Mayo, I think the Mayo patch I released is really good. But if I tried to make this patch 12 months ago, it wouldn't have been good. Editting 2k9 CF and headshape is alot easier, because the base is already good. So in November this year, there will be some very good Thabeet/Jordan Hill/Curry patches etc. A few months to wait isn't that long. In the meantime, there has been some released rookies which are usable and

to the makers of the patches.
The players I haven't released since last patch are.. Boozer, Calderon, Bynum, Conley (improved from last version), Marc Gasol (improved from last version), Jason Williams, I want to improve Ray Allen jawline as well. Fisher and Farmar need work, but I did the best I could, the base is just bad.

Also improved Vujacic, but I don't have a CF for it and I can't release it because it's not my CF. I need permission first. Some players I edit because I like them and want to be perfect but most I try to pick the players where I think that the headshape is wrong, and they deserve better. Like Ray Allen or Fisher or Boozer etc. Brad Miller and Yi are two others I'd like to do. I will try to patch them and release them in the future if I can find some spare time. If I am sick, I will patch, but don't wish sickness on me please.
