Kevin Garnett is the NBA 2K9 cover athlete

first KG

wasnt he on nba live 2001. 2ksports was stupid this one.

man cme on u got to give it to lebron kg was already on ea

This means that every person that was on other companies covers in the past , could mean that any player is virtually possibly to be on the cover of Live 09.Im going for Pierce or Kobe.Maybe Lebron.If EA Sports want to make a splash, i gotta go with Kobe Pierce or Lebron

So what if KG was on Live it was 2001 edition so just get over it

Through that commercial you could see a graphical upgrade in 2k9 but I hope they get rid of all those lead passes and add better shot blocking animations

Oh and dont get too excited over the graphics of KG in the video it was CG format

You can see the CG clip again over at 2ksports.com/2k9

It was long enough ago that people won’t identify Garnett with Live. It seems like a good choice to me, a respected established leader who is very recognizeable.

use proper english, idiot

who cares if he was on another cover it was 8 years ago no one cares

#1 Please Fix The Ball! The Ball Looks Fake! Look At Nba Live’s Ball! That’s
What The Ball Should Look Like! Not Like An Orange Plastic Ball! The
Ball Looks Real In College Hoops But Fake In Nba 2k. The Ball Should Be
More Of A Brownish Color Not Orange!

#2 Please Fix The Shoes! No More Generic Shoes Please! It’s Very Annoying
When Your Away Shoe Color Is Black But Half The Team Is Wearing White.
Please Get This Right This Year!

#3 Improve The Players On The Bench & Also The Crowd! It Takes Away
From The Realism When The Players On The Bench & People In The Crowd
Look Like Cardboard! Also Why Is It That When Players Are On The Bench
Nobody Is Wearing Socks? Please Fix This!

#4 We Need Better Menus & Presentation. It’s 2008 & The Menus Looked 10
Years Outdated In 2k8. The Game Was Great But The Menus Sucked. Take
Notes From Live On That.

#5 Make Dunks More Realistic. Not Everyone Is Bringing Down The Rim On
Every Dunk. Not Only Do We Need A Larger Variety Of Dunks, The Ball &
Physics Need To Be Worked On.

#6 This Goes Without Saying..improve Overall Graphics. The Gameplay Is
Probably The Most Realistic I’ve Ever Played In A Sports Game But It’s
Time To Have The Graphics Match The Gameplay.

That’s All I Can Think Of For Now. If You Just Do These Simple Things Then I Think We Will Have Not Only The Best Basketball Game Ever But The Best Sports Game Of All Time!

Holy shiz.. how did you got through and capitalize the first letter of every word… that’s amazing

2k bball is killing it again those screenshots look amazing and it always looks good in motion unlike its counterpart live. 2k9 should be another solid game.

That’s going to be one ugly mug on that game

it should have been lebron, i wish he didnt exspect so much money he should just do it he already has enough money. If i was a player i would just take it for publicity.

obviously lebron doesn’t need publicity…he’s the best player in the game…

The cover should just be Garnett throwing down that incredible tip-jam off the Pierce miss on Gasol’s head from tonight’s Game 1 of the Finals. Wow.

correction hes the second best player

only at padre would there be so much nitpicking and crying like little girls. KG is the cover boy. Its a solid pick, nothing to argue, and the graphics are early build and look great. Stop with all the bashing and little stupid comments trying to be funny or relevant. There is no way to bash this selection. Cant for one time all the childish comments can be cut to a minimum. The ball? are you serious, what about the fact his fingers(not hands) grabbed the rim, you missed that? Padre please school your followers early on this one, so they do go off bashing a good title, like they do with every 2k game on your site.
When you speak they listen, so ‘tell’ them what to think, they will follow you and repeat what you post on other websites.
NBA 2K rules. always have since dreamcast it was a better game of basketball, no reason to change now.

I agree with the idea that there should be some subdued dunk animations. It would look better when guys like Rondo dunked like a high school player and not Dr.J. I would also like there to be better layup animations and less missed layups. If a layup is ever adjusted, it looks crazy.

whats goin to be different

First of all, I would almost rule out Pierce for Live 09 because i doubt EA would put another Celtic on the cover… When 2K already has KG…

second im gonna go ahead & have to agree…

KOBE #1
LEBRON #2

CP3 a close third if not tied for 1st or 2nd

Great choice, they should have chosen Paul Pierce after last night though.
