i have the game...if your trying to quickly pass the ball around the court, then i can see why its hard to pass. the nba does not play like this in real life, why should the game, its about setting your players up for high % fg attempts with plays, not that organic as you might think

Yes I know about that, I run plays all the time. I can win one of every 2 matches in All-star default sliders, but the problem of passing it's still there and it's something I thought they would have improved. Passing is not right, even if the game is very good. And that's a fact. And 2 or 3 times in a game it always make an odd pass you weren't expecting if you do it with the regular X control.

As I said, you can play the pass by pressing R1 and the correspondant button, and I like this mode, but I don't understand why the hell couldn't it be "locked" when you pass R1. Right now you press R1 and sometimes I want to pass it when the right moment kicks in and then maybe the R1 mode has vanished JUST THEN and you end up not doing the play you wanted.

That, and the fact that, even with CLUTCH factor set to NO, the CPU will always find the net easily when 3pointing, no matter if the shot is contested. When they enter this GOD mode, it reminds me of pes and it gets a little irritating.

I still have to try multiplayer, but waiting for the right time /right person to play!

Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

i've got the pc version. I imagine it plays just like the xbox version seeing as its a straight port. My laptop isn't that strong though so I've had to crank the graphics way down. It can run on medium settings but low makes it run a lot smoother. I've got the hp pavilion 2815ea. Don't really have the tech. know-how to tell you if its a good gfx card or not.
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

I just had an epic game against the Hornets, in the first half they were smashing me and I was down by 20 at one point but we dug deep and started plating some decent defense. In the the 4th I was down by 2 with 4 seconds left but I got the mis match I wanted (CP3 guarding Amare) and I took it to overtime.

In OT CP3 missed 2 FT's and I swear it was because of the noise that my fans were making! I won the game in the end, beautiful.
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

Yes I would, the crowd alone can have an affect on the way you and the CPU play.

would u say this game is better then fifa?

its a whole other level compared to fifa, to be fair thought, there are only like 30 something teams, so it was probably easier to get the players like there real life counterparts, which is spot on in this game, but the physics and presentation is ahead of fifa as well

I've played 1 online game so far and it was fine, there was no lag, my opponent did quit during the 4th though and that was annoying.

I haven't tried the Team 2K yet because I'd rather play with people on my friends list but it doesn't look like you can create clubs in the game like Fifa.

well you can play any kind of tourney, a whole season with 30 dudes and the real nba schedule, plus a website gets updated with every stat imaginable after the game is over, you can see which lineups are producing, fg% etc...

association mode blows MM away, just check it out
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

cool sounds promising but what about online play. is there a "online" version of association mode?

if not. is there online leagues? tournaments? can i create a bball team and sell/buy players online?
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

There is an update for this game? Some transfers are missing such Elton Brand to 76ers or Allen Iverson to Pistons.
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

I haven't checked the 76ers squad but I'd imagine that he is there, the AI trade just happened so it will be in the next roster update.
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

does anyone know a NBA 2k Fansite where you can download kits, graphics ... ? Thanks
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

Hi Gomito, I play on PS3, shame we can't exchange some dunks!

To me this game and Fifa 09 are the best sports games I've played. We're lucky this year with such a big number of great games coming up.

About 2k9, I've messed with different sliders and now feel very comfortable. The question is, is there any way to play this co-op online against CPU?
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

Is this better than NBA Live 2009? I want to get the best one, but there seemed to be mixed reviews for both. Is the battle between EA and 2K like EA and Konami (Pro Evo, Fifa)?

yes. nba 2k9 shits all over nba live 09 from what i can see(demo)
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

NBA 2k9 feels so realistic, its like playing FIFA 09 imo. I tried NBA Live but found it too simplistic and automatic. Graphically, 2k9 is also much more impressive.
 
Re: NBA 2K9 - PS3/360...PS2

Have it on Steam and its a brilliant game, presentation, graphics are top notch. why didn't they include online for PC I don't know.
