DO NOT WORRY. I have been away yes, but only because getting internet at my new house has been HELL! I officially get hooked up next Tuesday w/ TekSavvy here in Toronto. Right now I'm stuck with free wifi @ the Black Bull (for you Toronto Shackers...stop by. I'll be sitting w/ the white laptop.)
Anyway, back to the subject. I hope someone who has picked 2K9 up can answer this for me. I just grabbed it yesterday and FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME. Best NBA game I have played in years. One thing that is missing from the manual though?
#1 - When on offense, what is the yellow bar meter you see on player with the ball? I'm assuming it's some sort of "in the zone" indicator where if you shoot when it's at maximum there is a high % they score?
#2 - What is that defensive zone indicator that comes up "randomly". Like randomly it'll come up while I'm defending where certain areas are neon red? I'm guessing this is what they call the new Lock-On-D Shading or something? I'm fiddling with the right stick when I see it come up because supposedly you can try to force players to go certain ways when you are in this "zone".
Anyway, if someone can answer this in the next 30 mins that'd be awesome. That'll be about when my pint runs dry and I pack up and head back home for the evening and get ready to go out!

ps3 is a good choice because it has a blu ray player.
xbox360 is a good choice because it has a larger selection of games.
and in the foreseeable future, this continues to be the trend right?
all the really big games are going to be cross platform or on the xbox?

As soon as I started making my NXE avatar, I had to stop comparing it to Nintendo. The system Rare came up with has more in common with the Sims than it does with anything else. There were more options for facial and body structure, color and decoration. I could have freckles, vampire fangs, or a mullet. There were ear piercings, soul patches and whacky skin colors (e.g. green). There are idle animations (my favorite is the guy one where he picks lint off his arm, grimaces and flicks it away), and hidden “treats” that the avatars react to (like when you zoom in too fast – you might bump your avatar in the head and knock him senseless).

If so, what are some good ones and if not, would official ones be released (I assume around the release of the other platforms)?

The maps seem to all require absurd levels of coordination to complete, some of them under time pressure giving you about one chance before you have to re run the whole map.
Got to one where there was a place to generate momentum a long ways from where it was needed to get over a wall and just gave up. The shot that I had to make was ridiculously hard. Probably not doing it correctly but it isn't worth it.

So I'm getting a Core 2 Duo 8400 and a 4870 for my next computer, but I can't make up my mind on a motherboard. I've gone Asus for the last 2 or 3 because they're pretty reliable and straight forward when overclocking.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to go over $150.
