NBA 2K9 Video - Czarisode 4: Matchups... Spacing... AI... Oh My!

[canman]

That was simply amazing... The fact that it was CPU vs CPU just made it so much better. Really tested what the AI's all about.

Anyway, great job as always Czar

[ehh]

The comparisons to 2K8 in the vid were great, esp the Bibby one where he closed out to a shooter in the corner when he had both feet in the paint. That drove me up the wall in 2K8 but I'm one happy man now that it's gone in 2K9.

The graphical difference seeing 2K8 right next to 2K9 in motion is

Thanks Czar for breaking down the AI in this game! It really shows how deep the game will be.

This game looks like sports GOY material folks!

I can't wait to get my hands on the game next week.

Revamped Association mode, deeper gameplay, adaptive AI, improved graphics.... I'm in heaven!

[WTF]

ehh, that's exactly what drove me crazy last year. No open shots because of the recovery defense. I'm ecstatic that it seems to be somewhat fixed.

Hey zar, ive watched your interveiws since i was a lad on the old IGN boards and wow, you still get people to understand the the things that really MATTER in 2k ball. Your break downs are clear & well organzined each and every time. Man it aint a 2k holliday without the great zar...........You also shut alot of mouths up of people who felt 2k8 was the same as 2k9.

Thanks

And it's even more amazing that it works for the mid range game. I was able to get Pau some open 15-footers on pick-n-pops and Perkins wasn't quick enough to recover, thank god. This game is going to be so ridiculously good.

Just got the game and can wait to start a challenging Association with the adaptive AI. Thanks Czar, you always strike a perfect balance of brevity and substance.
