I don't think there's an official 2K9 thread, so here it is. Just based off the demo and gameplay videos, the game looks awesome. I'm definitely picking it up tomorrow after school. Unfortunately, I won't have the car, which means public transportation.:ohno:

Anyway, I'll post my reactions later. Do the same!
 
Can you let me know all the special features outside of the actual game? That's what I'm really interested in.
 
These games are coming out tomorrow. I'd like to get one, but I didn't like 2K8 and Live had been bad for a while now. Are either of these a big improvement over last year? I haven't even played the demos.
 
i heard thart you going to be able to make created players 7'10"....benjamin ross best pg ever.:) i already pre-ordered it, and am going to play the whole season. at once.

That weird. I disliked 2K7, but really enjoyed 2K8.
 
I kept trying to run the plays in 2K8 and it felt so unnatural and was a lot of work. It was just a chore for me. I didn't have much fun playing. What can I do to have a more enjoyable experience if I get 2K9? And is Live a legit option?
 
Ghoti, as you're someone who has a high appreciation of the game of basketball, and are an analytical person in that regard...you will hate Live.

2k actually does make it easier to play "sim." Last year's "run the play" was too tough because the momentum of a player made it hard to line up exactly on the marker. While I don't have the game and can't say if this was fixed, I do know that the AI was revamped so that teammates will run basketball plays based on where you line up automatically. So, instead of seeing people stand around, you'll see players come off screens, set picks, etc.
 
That's what I want! Those stupid drawings on the floor didn't work and the players wouldn't start running the play until I stopped on the exact pixel. It sucked all the fun out. So the demo fixed this and I can just play naturally?
 
I play live cause i trust it, but 2K9 is a game i'll rent with intentions to ask for christmas
 
My router is messed up so I haven't been able to dl the demo. That's why I'm soliciting opinions. I mainly want it to be more natural and have less drudgery.

Additionally, they sped up the default speed from last year, which was a bit too slow.

I'll let you know when I get it. Also check out reviews when they are available. Don't bother with Live 09; no way will it top 2k9.
 
I believe it's JokeR33...but I'll get back to you on that.
 
I'll be the Nets and kill you with Vince. You could be the Mavs and suck with Kidd and Dirk. :lol:
 
I hate street games.

Or you mean the other streets, kidd?
 
You can't use those, I don't see a King or a Shake in your name. You use that soft viagra stuff.
 
Hit me up for an ass-whoopin'
RELIEVE = My gamertag
 
will be picking it up today, but won't have time to try it out until tomorrow night :(
 
NBA Live has a 'Be a pro' mode in it which makes me tempted to buy it since 2K9s graphics look the same as last year pretty much.

I'm just going to have to rent them both before tossing out 70 bucks.
 
I'm picking up live within the hour and i've heard they stepped up there game. Im pumped
 
I want to pick up one of these (possibly on the way home today). That video for 2K9 made it look pretty awesome.

The last one I played was....2K6? Before that I had been all about Live, but it just kind of got too arcadey.

For any of those who play either of them this afternoon, let me know what you think
 
I'm having a lot of fun with 2K9 right now. Portland is a very fun team to play with. My only beef is that Chicago (opposition) has 81 points...at halftime. Wtf? And I'm too scared to toggle with the settings. So if anyone messes around with it...to perhaps fix it...let me know what you did. I'm playing on Allstar level btw.

Buy NBA 2K9!
