2K Sports has announced that it will be conducting the first nighttime, outdoor motion capture event for their upcoming title NBA 2K8 (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) today in New York City at Harlem’s well-known Rucker Park.

The event will be co-hosted by the Entertainers Basketball Classic (EBC) and NBA 2K8‘s cover athlete Chris Paul, as well as other NBA stars such as Andre Iguodala, Gerald Green, Gerald Wallace and Rudy Gay. These athletes’ moves will be recorded for inclusion in NBA 2K7.

“Our talented motion capture team can adapt to almost any environment,” said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. “With our advanced motion capture technology, we’re delivering the next generation level of realism to our sports titles and to have a motion capture shoot conducted at a real basketball venue adds even more authenticity to our game.”

NBA 2K8 is slated for release this fall.
