3 years...............

i believe they threw it together in less than a year. they have been working on 2K9 for about that long. i say release it right now and patch everything that's messed up later... it works for microsoft.

Yea. It was less than a year. They said that within that year, they didn't even know what type of game they were going to do. Whether it would be semi-pro, highschool, generic NFL, legends, etc.

So it was thrown together pretty quick.

IF 2k9 comes out, there is no doubt it will be lightyears better than 2k8. The presentation will be better, the graphics, the offline game modes, etc.

I think 2k10 will show everyone what 2k can do in the football genre. But 2k9 will be a huge step forward . . .

It was less than a year,actually a little over 6 months from what I've heard. Thats unbelievable for them to put out a game like they did in that little amount of time. Its been 3 years for EA and they had over 50 glitches in 08,thats pathetic. I'm really excited about 2k9,I think they know if they want to sell that they'll put in alot of the things that people wanted in 2k8.


One question I have? The legends were signed for 3 years,but what if those scumbags at EA buy take-two,does that mean they cant put out All Pro the next 2 years???

that kind of thinking is why i could never be a PC or XBox player.

lol. I read it in an interview. I hope you were being sarcastic about the 3 years part. Coz it was nowhere close.

Thye said it was on and off for a couple of years but it was mainly tossing ideas around and rarely talking about it much.

creed is right. What he said is exactly what I read.

It's not "optimism". It's 2k's story . . .
