That's hot.

Come on October.

Online Hall of Fame, sounds interesting. I hope that's implemented in a way that doesn't reward cheesing.

I don't see how that really accomplishes anything(the 'Living Roster'). I guess it's a nice touch.

You don't think getting roster updates within the hour of a big trade accomplishes anything?

I actually like the hrly updates because during the regular season, i can play the game, go get something to eat and come back and enjoy the most up to date Rockets injury lol

How often do big trades happen?

Im basically comparing it to daily updates.

Yeah I thought you might be.


Trades, FA signings, releases, injuries, etc. Getting updates quickly when those things happen doesn't accomplish much you say? Well, to each his own, I think it's a great feature.

With the hourly updates, if 2k is now linked with nba.com, all they have to do is automate the scanning of rosters & depth charts on an hourly basis. It's not like it involves tons of man hours from people checking & updating. Or maybe they hired some gnomes to do the job.

But im itching to see what they are holding out on as far as online play because the number of players has me interested.

Well of course, that is the part that is the most intriguing. Unless it's a typo, which I highly doubt. Hopefully when NHL 2k9 is out of the way, they'll open the floodgates and explain everything in detail & bring the much awaited game play videos and the demo!
