Yeah, but I didn't want to be like last gen. Just buying mainly sport games and then miss out on adventure/fps/fighting/etc.

Yeah. That's the point. I only get one sport game a year. Usually, something fire drops Christmas or sooner and I can't get it because I dropped 60$ on a sport game.:Thud:

Yeah, that's what I plan to do, but 2k8 sounds good to me though. Mad good.

Sounds okay. They didn't mention if they fixed that College Hoops Draft import problem though. October 2nd isn't that long off.

- Passing has improved, more crisp pases as opposed to lazy ones.
- Announcing crew has new lines.
- Rebounding is more aggressive
- Dual player control got an upgrade
- Defense is a focus in 2k8...they made a feature where you can lock onto the ball handler (based on defensive ratings, so crappy players defensively will have a tougher time locking in)
- There is a tendency icon under the player, the fuller it is the more likely you will hit a shot from there.
- Halftime show is cut down, focus is on post game.
- In Association, lineup changes can effect team chemistry. Like if you take out a vet for a rookie, it will effect team chemistry.


That's all the important parts, but if you want to know more (details) read it.

thanks for the summary ...
