I thought I'd make a 2K8 thread since it comes out today and I know there ought to be some players out here. If your not interested that's cool but I'm sure some of you even if you don't like games can appreciate some of the likenesses of the cats in the game. Ziggy if you want you can move this to the off-topic board but I thought I'd post it here for now so more would be likely to see it.
Here are a few photos and gifs. Herrmann wasn't in last years game but he looks good now. Also Crash did some motion capturing this year so they have his jump shot down perfectly. Morrison's looks a lot better and his shot no longer has that slow release.

On to the dissapointing part. While remodeling all stadiums in the league 2K for some reason decided not to remodel our new arena and instead used the now defunct Charlotte Colesium. ??? I was pretty upset about this at first but I got over it. It's done with great accuracy all the way up to the roof structures. Here is the weird part. They included our new scoreboard in the old place. Of course I'm happy that at least made it in but it seems us Bobcat fans always get left at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to things like this. Anyways our floor is still the old floor if you noticed. Us and the Rockets both didn't announce our floor changes in time to make it into the game this year so that kinda sucks too.

Ok these are just some photos of other guys in the game that I thought looked pretty good. Notice Durant looks like he's going to fall out of his jersey? If I had a pic of Eddie Curry you'd see he looks like he just got up from the buffet table as well. The guys body types, head shapes, shoulder width etc.. are much more varied this year and believe it or not it even makes a difference game play mechanics such as spacing. Good stuff overall. Except for Ridnour, dude looks jacked up.

And finally if you haven't played the demo this year and even if you have these two videos will show you the big leap the AI took this year in play calling, improvising after a play breakdown, spacing, player weight, momentum, and for Fats if he's reading this off the ball movement.

Alright, so I hope this has helped raise your excitement level a bit for the game so you know it's not just a roster update. There is plenty more I could have went on with about the game such as foot planting, more sig moves, better layup animations, lock on d, off the ball control (Sweet new addition), called plays being drawn on the floor, collision detection etc..but I'll let you find that out for yourselves. If anyone has a 360 and wants to play some let me know. My gamer tag is chabber just like my screen name.
