I love 2k8, gameplay is awesome

[*r00kie]

nah that feature doesnt impress me at all... Just makes the game even more unrealistic. Just say you play real good d on kobe and he pops a three bam goes in right in your face all the time....
2k9 hope it'll be good but i have a feeling that the game wont be a big difference from 2k8 from seeing the demo. Didnt really see that much new features....
