haha thanks man, didn't see it there.

Just gave them a try, look pretty good to me

For the next gen players, do your rosters sometimes get messed around with, so that the teams don't have their proper starting lineup? For example Michael Redd doesn't start for the Bucks, and Tony Parker and Manu aren't even in the Spurs team?
It's not as bad since the recent game update but I still have noticed it and it shits me because before every game I have to readjust the rotations

You should be able to download it now? But as I've already been told in this thread, downloading is bad m'kay?

I love the ability to download rosters, as this is the first 2K game i've had on PS3. Downloaded the roster today that has the 96 Bulls, 95 Magic etc. First game I played as the Bulls against the Magic, got absolutely schooled by Penny and Shaq, I think Penny dropped about 48 points.

However, for the rematch, I downloaded some decent sliders and managed to beat them by 6 points. Absolutely loving the game so far, would play more if I didn't have an exam tomorrow. Lucky it's my last one so I have the rest of the week to play before Leavers

oh cool - how do you download the older teams? And can you use them in an Association?

 

[triplejdude]

You download them by going to options-manage roster and then to download roster. Quite a few rosters on there that are worth downloading.

Dunno if you can play as them in Association mode, maybe if you choose customise league, not really sure, never tried it.

Hmmm never encountered this.

Sounds like something bad has happened with your rosters

This happens to me when I play online sometimes.

I think with their live roster update, they try to make the line up reflect how it currently is in real life. So if you played as the Spurs a couple of weeks ago, Manu and Parker were missing.

Im not sure if I like this though. Sure it is realistic, but most of the time I just want to play with a team with their best possible line up.

Yep it has worked that way for a couple years now. Yao was missing last year from the Houston rotation. He was fit, there and ready to go, but had 0 minutes assigned.

Sorry if it's been asked but NBA Live 09 vs NBA 2k9, how do they compare? Anyone got a preference between the two? I'm not sure which one to get as i've played NBA Live for years and wanting to know whether it's worth a change.

There's like a thousand search function noob threads, all in favour of 2k over Live

 

[triplejdude]

Well put. lol.

Anyway, while I think the live roster updates are good, there should be an option to only download player transfers and not injuries, like previously mentioned sometimes I want to play with the team's best possible lineup.

Its also annoying when I play a team and they're missing one of their star players, for example Atlanta and Josh Smith. It makes the game a lot easier on my behalf, which can get annoying

The same is done with the FIFA updates, IMO it has it's pro's and con's, on one hand you will want to have your full roster available, but on the other, an injury to a star could unviel another star, or just a good player(As has actually happened in NBA ie: Ellis, Barbosa, Krstic, etc.).

But you can DL the rosters with all the new players etc, then just adjust the rotations to include all the injured starters

I have yet to ever see Live fans win one of these debates. Even on EA forums, most say 2K is better

Takes too long and gets extremely frustrating the 3rd or 4th time you do it

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Hey does anyone know what to do here...

I'm trying to play the game but my whole screen is ferkered.

 

[Karl Pilkington]

throw your xbox out the window, should sort out the problem.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Haha, I'm running on PC.

Go to 30 seconds into this video I took for a better idea of the problem...

Hey, is there a bigfooty league if not i reckon we get one happening

 

[chaddles]

Just got my PS3 last Sunday, and after reading this thread I went out and bought this game on Monday - it is f'in sensational!! First time I have played a 2K game.

I ran the tutes after a muck around game and was very impressed. Am playing association mode at the moment with default settings and playing 9 minute games which seems to be a perfect time for realistic scores.

Started with Cav's as they had a low rating, and am currently 3-1. Iglauskis (sp??) is great in the paint, and James is killing it - racked up 69 pts in my 2nd game as I don't really know the other players abilities..

It is so addictive, I am starting to get used to the controls but I definitely need to learn a bit more! The matches are pretty close and as I get better I will look to adjust the sliders - the bit I really like is that when you forget about defense and just keep going for steals you get absolutely slaughtered.

Also has anyone played College Hoops 2K8 - are the controls and gameplay similar??
