You're not being charged for finger straps, you're being charged for the mode. Now if they won't let you edit players like that in the regular game then that's one thing but I doubt that that's going to happen. The rest of your post had nothing to do with the finger straps, which is why I took it out.

Okay Jmood... thanks for the input man.

That said it will be nice to be able to play some ball much earlier, especially since there is none on tv this summer.

Why wouldn't any of this be integrated into the real game? I don't really understand the logic behind assuming that the devs would be such big a-holes that they'd purposely leave these great additions out of the real game..?

Anyhoo, I think that the Draft Combine DLC is great news and the preview is also more complex than I first assumed when we heard about it earlier. And since I love screwing around with the CAP feature this has gotten me really excited

Stuff to be excited for if you like messing around with the CAP:
- New tattoos
- More accessories
- More signature styles
- Customisable shoes
- Eyebrows
- The return of the "Randomize face" feature!

I'm also looking forward to see what impact "Play style" has on game play, chemistry and/or the generated statistics during simulation in Association mode

A thing that worries me is that there only seems to be a primary position and that they've completely removed the secondary position, which seems to be a wrong decision, but let's see if maybe they rectify this by the release of 2k10

I'm also hoping that the "My Player" feature means the end for the irritating grey silhouettes for CAPs, because otherwise the career mode would quickly loose some of the fun

My main concern is the absence of "Europe" in the Yahoo! article, when they mentioned where the DLC will be released. I just hope they won't screw us over like they've done in the past (no 2k8 patch for PS3, continuous delays of the game and only releasing the demos when the game is already out)

Looks really good, but do we have to have XBL or PSN to do all this? I'm not really into online gaming....

Basically what I'm asking is that will this be a new game mode for offline too?

They already had player types as basic packages in the past few 2Ks, I'm not sure that these are necessarily any different or more effective on the end game than those were. I'll be optimistic, though.

The fidelity of the graphics looks cheap

Maybe b/c NBA 2k is a port, at least that's what Mike said.

Mike Wang: And I wouldn't say that we're not doing new stuff, as there are some exciting innovations in this year's title, but we're really focused on the fundamentals and getting things right. One of the things I always struggled with at 2K was when we were porting up from old gen to now, it's still just a port, and 2K has been covering up a lot of those problems with new animations. But with NBA Live, the foundation with the technology is really special, and what I see here is the potential for something that can be great. I think we're just now starting to realize that potential of what the hardware can give us, and we're capitalizing on that right now.

2nd most overused term on the OS forums. I would say "game engine" is the first.

I'm really hoping these aren't the graphics from the final build, though the shots are poor quality anyways and created players rarely ever look good.

I'm not sure why 2k consistently releases poor quality screens initially every year while the competition is releasing HD (and in the past doctored) screens that actually show off the graphics.

This is a pretty poor press release as well. Sure it's up on 2k's website but why not Gamespot and IGN instead of Yahoo Finance? I just don't understand what they're doing.

I have no idea why they do this year after year but I guess since their sales have been going up every year they just think it's what works.

LOL. Hell no! "Sim" is by far the #1 most overused term here. "Game killer" is 4th.
