In an interview with Jon Robinson of ESPN, NBA 2K9 cover athlete Kevin Garnett may have revealed a new aspect to the game’s online play. I’m not sure if it can actually be termed a mode but it could be something interesting for people to follow. Whether this is the big news 2K Sports has been alluding to is uncertain. You can check out the full interview here.
Why all the mystery? Seems the commercial Garnett is shooting is for a secret new mode in NBA 2K9, the same game that also features KG on its cover. “It’s a reverse fantasy league,” Garnett explains. Seems KG, Derrick Rose, Monta Ellis and a few other NBA stars are going to draft online gamers to see whose team can accumulate the best 2K9 stats and the commercial Garnett is shooting shows some of his real-life best friends from what he calls his Official Block Family begging to be on his squad.

As someone who has purchased NHL 2K9 and has been looking forward to the new “TEAM 2K” Feature, I am very disappointed. It promotes cheesing in a whole new way. Hopefully Team 2K will be different for NBA 2K9 but I doubt it.

this is pretty dumb. but live still wont be as good like usual.
if live went back to having fun, they would still be the best basketball franchise on the market like on the ps2 and xbox. no one used to play NBA 2k.
