NBA 2K9 Hands-On Preview (IGN)

[Shinyhubcaps]

I hope they have more headbands. Pierce's looks like an old one, and they've only had one option for so long. I was playing NBA Live 2005 the other day, and I noticed how many more choices they had for headband patterns and colors, and it was unbelievable. They did it for socks, shoes, and goggles, too.

A little off topic, but anyway... Everything looks great, and you gotta love the player models. I'm still wondering about the online feature that will blow us all away, but we'll see.

And THANK YOU for leaking the new Hornets jerseys. Live leaked the new Timberwolves jerseys, and the new T'Wolves and Kings jerseys showed up on Getty Images. But no one had leaked the Hornets jerseys yet, and I'd like to thank 2K Sports for that. They look tremendous, by the way (in the game and probably what they'll look like in real life).

Yeah knew of the other teams new jerseys, but nothing about a Hornets new home strip..Im debating if its an actual new one or the throwback from the charlotte days baron and co used to wear

I don't know about you, but I am incredibly impressed with the screens, since 2K has been the one that always messes up the faces, and these screens show otherwise.

Ah, this game is going to be great. So excited for it.

I don't play online so uh I still hope they added College Hoops Play Creator.

[P.D.]

The player models are amazing especially the Derrick Rose one. Miles ahead of 2k8. The skin textures are spot on. Boozer looks like Carl Crawford lol

As much as I am interested in NBA Live 09 new features, I know I can always count on 2K to give me the goods. October can't come soon enough.

The textures do look great but the logos and #'s are stiched in so they wouldn't have those holes in them
