Community Q&A: NBA 2K9

[extraclip]

1.If the game was released today as is, on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate 2K8 and 2K9? Thanks for all the inside info good work my friend.

EDIT: Or if you plan to give me the whole "Spare the Devs" speech LOL if comparing only what you've played or seen to the same features/gameplay in 2K8. Thanks Again. And if that's still not fair just give me a number on how much you think the game has improved so far.

2.Do you know if that first trailer with KG was pre-rendered or using the in game engine? Cuz it looks a little too good.

3.Is it more smoother than last year in regards to player movements (IE is the "jerkyness" effect gone/less than 2K8)

4.This is more of a request than a question. Can you please tell the devs to get rid of those low res center court big logos with jaggies. I know its still in the game look at the Bulls screen shot that was released. Man I know we fans nit pick but I play down the graphics for the most part (except Boshe's alien face) but when I was playing the finals in 08 that ish was driving me mad. I mean its bad there was nothing special about the finals in association mode in 08 after I struggled with 82 games and a crazy Cap and whyning players that got traded at least get the logo right geeez its the court not the last row in the stadium that no one looks at( I know they got something in with 2K9 in regards to the finals presentation).

How is defensive AI. We had a guy on this site last year, Benecio, who was dedicated to finding a good set of sliders so we could get a realistic basketball experience (mainly regarding defensive AI.) Does the defense play more as a whole or is the CPU D still "glued" to his defender?

Also i hope NBA2k9 go back to 2k7 gameplay that require skills when it comes to shooting the ball. In 2k8 when you're open it's almost automatic going in...which takes no skills at all....in 2k7 it takes skills to make shot because you have to shoot and time it right in order to make the shot. Even FT needs skills...so i think they should go back to that....i don't even know why they change it. Just for the sake of changing because it's a NEW edition??

^ They didn't change anything in that regards. People on here have been crying about missing TOO MANY open shots on 2K8. I think it is fine. Some go in some don't. I don't trip

KG video was definitely rendered. Look at the band on his arm. It's resting on his forearm instead of his wrists.

Yeap, got that...but you do not have the control of the rosters for all 30 teams, which leads to off the wall trades and the inability to run a season that mirrors the real NBA season. I don't wait to see Shaq on the Suns and Garnett on the Celtics and crazy things such as this....oh dam, wait a minute!
