Still no Jawai in the roster update, yet they add new Raptors signing Jamal Sampson. How can I start a dynasty without Jaw-Why?
 
Probably because he is listed as injured - had some form of heart problem. Wait it out I guess.

Might be due to Jamal Sampson already being in past games, so they don't have to create a new player, they will have to create Jawai and put him into the game, if you really want to start a Dynasty with him, create him.
 
I got it on PS2, theres absolutely no comparison between it and the PS3 version. Plays exactly the same as 2K8, and I'm thinking of buying a PS3 purely for this game

I realise that.

I wanted a good cyberface though, not some shitty created one I put together.

I don't know what CAP is like, but you should be able to do pretty well, just print out a pic of him and mould it so it looks perfect.

I really doubt that they will create and add him into the game unfortunately.

What is with the lack of points and rebound sby centers in assiosation mode?

Its always been that way with NBA games - I've never understood why its so hard - but one thing to keep in mind is that FG% and 3PT% are much higher in games than in real life = less opportunities.
 
Got the game on the weekend - only have the PS2.

First game, Jason Richardson was going off for Charlotte 47pts and I thought easy win. Then Lebron James took over in the final two minutes with a couple of steals and three pointers :mad:.

I wish NBA 2K would allow gamers to set up their own plays, like NFL Madden does!

This game is ****ing dull.

Ive played about 15 games, and it is so repetitive.

The ****ing players dont even run plays. You choose a play, they wait around for 15 seconds, they seem to run in cement to the spot, the defender is right there. Half my scores are just chucking a shot up with 2 on the shot clock

The fast breaking is crap. its always 2 on 4 and nobody is open

There is no continuity. It is ****ing bill shit. I am so dissapointed.

If I dont find some slider or something toi make to make it feel like basketball I am chucking this shit out

It made this loud clunking sound. I took the disc out and it was scratched as ****. Put it back in, and it says 'Put this disc in an Xbox 360'.

I had a new one on order anyway, but I dont see the point. I only use it to play 2K and unless I find somehting else in the game, its just too frustrating to play

Why in god's name did you have a second one on order? Jeez those 360's are pieces of junk.

Damn. You've gone from considering bringing a controller with you on the train so that you can practise isomotion moves to saying that the game is dull and boring. Surely the depth of the controls would mean that different play-by-play situations arise, let alone entire games. Are you playing against the CPU or a human?

I'm like a few others, waiting till uni is finished to get it. I'm buying a new console just for this game so I'm really hoping it's good. Let us know in a few days whether you still feel the same way about it. What's assosciation mode like? Development of players? Artificial rookies? Scouting? Do players like Rose and Beasley get taken fist round in a fantasy draft?

Answers would be appreciated. Good luck with the game.
 
I'm disappointed about the way the isomotion works this year. I'm finding alot of it unresponsive. I think it's due to having to hold R2 and L2 while using the left stick.

I thought it was 10 times better last year when you only needed to use the left stick to do a spin move or cross over.

I found it's a lot more responsive if you let go of the left stick just before you do the move. And for the simple crossover, just quickly tap the R2.

Here's a thread that I found a massive help.

Yeah I had a bad day. The game is awesome, some of the cuts arent as fast as I like but there are sliders (For instance, I was wondering why they weren't running plays. I realised I had the 'run plays' slider down at 20...ramped it up to 100 and all sweet). It feels very real and there's no sense of mashing the isomotion keys will always enable you to beat the defender.

The blocking is much improved. Sometimes you get a feeling that you just murder a shot...blocking it against the back board and such.

The main problem is fast breaking, where opposition seems to get back too quickly. I only play with the Mavs so it may be a result of not having quick players, but I will keep adjusting the sliders.

I havent played association yet or dealt with any of it, so Ill post my impressions when I do.

Sorry I dont do development, scouting, fantasy drafts or play with artifical rookies.

Have you checked out some of the user sliders that you can download online? There's some very realistic ones out there that people have spent hours working on.

I've had this game for about 5 days but haven't really had much time to give it a spin in between work and playing Madden 09. I suck at the iso-motion controls, still trying to learn a majority of the moves too, the controls are very deep, so many different moves available!!
