NBA 2K9 Screens and Highlights
by 
Previously I went through both community websites being presented by 2K and EA. Both offer features that can extend the enjoyment of their respective titles. Having Live over the last week I was able to get up a handful of highlight clips and a bunch of screenshots. The screens were great quality and the highlights had some excellent improvements and turned out really well.
Now comes an opportunity to look at the 2K community site. I’ve included a couple screens I’ve taken, a Deron Williams highlight I put together, and few of the most popular clips uploaded thus far. I’ll be working on doing some more but wanted to get an initial look at them up now.
Clearly the screenshot quality is not as good as Live’s and it is much more of a painstaking process to grab them. They come out somewhat dark and hazy and the red lock circle remains in them. The highlights however have more options for editing though it takes some time to get comfortable with the Reelmaker. Once you are there is a lot of potential to create some great highlights. The biggest thing that detracts from them is the lack of any sound.

Not trying to start anything here, but the graphics in 2K9 are not looking too hot in those screens.

That’s the problem with EA though. They focus too much on gimic features instead of the most important thing gameplay. 2K has their priorities in order & EA doesn’t. This is why 2K (basketball) is consistently the better product every year. EA doesn’t care about having the better product, all they care about is sales.

The graphics are great in 2K9! What you need to worry about is how the game looks in motion not about screen shots. 2K kills Live in motion. EA wants you to focus on screenshots & features & not gameplay. Don’t you guys get this?

i just played the two games, 2K9 is so much better and makes live look like a joke.From the fundamentals to the small details.THANK GOD FOR VISUAL CONCEPTS-2KSPORTS and TAKETWO,

people who say that prefer LIVE over 2K9 i’m convinced they do it on purpose to start a war. Challenging something so obviously superior is provocation.
People who admit to BUY the worst PRODUCT and be proud of their decision have serious issues.

i for one am not trying to force my opinion. I’m 31 and played every single game of basketball on every console over my life. Let me just comment on such ridiculous comments. I really am thankful that people like these exist so that pure EACA employees don’t lose their jobs. And from what i understand they’ll probably get very rich. BUT we r not blind.

Pasta, how do you take screenshots? Do you just stick a digital camera in front of your tv and take a pic? I know you can upload highlights online.
October 9, 2008 at 2:56 pm
You can take and upload screenshots too. You have to do it within the reelmaker. Where you save the highlight clip is the same place you can save the screenshot. Then you can just go to Load and find the screenshot, hit B, and it asks if you want to upload it to the 2K site. Assuming the 2K server is up at the time anyway.
