[koriwhat]

my 360 handle is 2bcontinued i believe... i haven't played online in a long while but today i will! hit me up or leave your 360 handle in this thread so i can find ya online later.

[koriwhat]

they got this cool thing where you can now "shadow" your opponent. pretty cool. talks about funneling your opponent in different directions so you can more accurately defend them and force them to go where you want them to. plus there's also a way to control 2 players at one time type thing and some cool offensive stuff like touch passing and whatnot.

god i wanna play this shit already! read the freakin' manual twice already... uh!

[sribb43]

my 360 handle is 2bcontinued i believe... i haven't played online in a long while but today i will! hit me up or leave your 360 handle in this thread so i can find ya online later.

Ill check for you online...GT=Sribb43. Im going to pick it up after work and play until i head out to the AAC for Mavs Wiz. Then Ill come back and play to who knows how late in the night, then be tired as hell in the morning for work.

[IronMexican]

I got mine. 2k9 league draft this Saturday at 9 PM pacific!

[dirk4mvp]

Just got home with it. Classes went by so slow today :lol

[IronMexican]

This game is dope. I changed my camera to 2k, and moved the height and zoom from 5 to 4.

[rAm]

Can't wait to get home and rock this shit.

[IronMexican]

I was shooting FT's with Kobe with about 30 seconds left, and they started chanting MVP. dope.

how is the game different than 2k8? is the AI different? will the computer run the fast break with you now?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I was up 82-80 with the Spurs online, and then kobe hit a stupid layup with 5 guys draped on him, then stole the inbound pass and layed it in at the buzzer.


AGH!!!!


Great game though! How do you double team in this year's edition? Last year it was the LB button (360), but this year it doesn't seem to work. There is nothing about it in the instruction manual.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Your teammates help you SO much more in this year's edition.

Hell, even Oberto was useful! They cut to the basket so much more and are much more alert on defense. I think they made the scoring a bit easier than they should have (shooting 50%+ from the field isn't too far fetched anymore) but I guess they are trying to widen their audience to newbies.

The presentation is very nice.

AI is better. They hit the streakers a lot quicker. Post game is most more difficult.

anyhow yeah people i should be on around 6-6:30pm so hit me up! and what's that draft? i want in!

[koriwhat]

you bastards get to play 2k9 already while i get to sit here at work reading the manual over and over and over again because i am just itching to get home and ball it up. damnit!

the reviews for Live 09 are surprisingly very good, I may give it a try since the 2K series, as good as it is, is basically a yearly roster update.

they have 2k9 for the pc? wow finally! if not... oh well.

i doubt you can play online with xbox360 or ps3 players though because they use their own services(xboxLive & psOnline).

There is no online play for the pc version. Big reason why it costs 30 bucks.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

One of the best things in this year's 2K is that they now have tutorials in their practice mode as well as a far more detailed user manual.

Little things like that are a nice incentive.


oh, and Roger Mason Jr is coming along nicely!

[koriwhat]

damn you!!! ah only 4 more hrs. i fuckin' hate garnett and i gotta sit here and stare at that fucker pounding his chest on the front cover. damn pos!

ps: wish i had a modded 360. i could've been playing this game for the past week if i had a chip in my 360. i just found an iso for 2k9 on a torrent site. damnit!

Fouls are called a lot more, I love it. The speed is slower than 2k8. I like it, you might not.

[koriwhat]

i always turned gameplay and whatever else up to 60 instead of 50. just made the game more at a normal pace then a slow fuckin' dead pace like it was on 50. uh i guess i'll have to do the same in 2k9.

anyone want to buy my 2k5(xbox original), 2k6, 2k7, or my 2k8 for the 360?

slower? the IGN review said the game was noticeably quicker.

[IronMexican]

Quicker? You might finish games faster now, cause the refs don't take forever to inbound it.

Does anyone else play with replays off? I always hated it in 2k7 and 2k8 when it would cut to replays, ruins the flow of the game.

[z0sa]

the reviews for Live 09 are surprisingly very good, I may give it a try since the 2K series, as good as it is, is basically a yearly roster update.

Disagree, if the changes from 2k7 to 2k8 are any proof, 2k9 should be much better. I sincerely hope so, at least, since there are still many improvements to be made, at least in 2k8 (many may be fixed in 2k9).

[z0sa]

oh and all the dumb fuck refs who won't give the ball up to the inbounder quick enough or until you get desperate for the ball and call a timeout instead. that shit drives me crazy.

I also love how say, if Udoka is getting hot from the floor, during dead ball situations they will show player highlights to prove a point.

i wonder if hill and ian(and maybe tolliver/hairston/whoever else) will be added in when the official roster comes out after training camp? hmm... that would be awesome if they insert new players into the game by download that weren't in the game initially.

i mean they have salim in there right? isn't his contract partially guaranteed and is simply just training camp invite at the moment yet he's in the game?

[IronMexican]

Oh, dope. You know how on 2k8, you could pick certain dunks? Now they have it for lay-up peeps, so you can get Parker's tear drop and other good ones.

[xtremesteven33]

This game is noticibaly different than 2k8. lockdown defense is harder to do, shots seem to go in more often. Kobe is the freakin GOAT in this game.

the game play is also a lot slower than 2k8.

overall i can actually say im a little dissapointed. maybe i just gotta play some more and get used to it.

- Does 2k9 have each arena's own crowd and announcers ("D-troit basketbaaaall" , " Go Spurs Go ", etc....) like it was in 2K8?

[z0sa]

After several games for 360 -

1) The player facial modeling is much more detailed, and there is pretty much no more sliding/popping around. Backing up with the bal (not backing down) used to be a joke with the glitches, now it seems real. Additionally, it used to be difficult to toe up a three point shot perfectly, often stepping on the line or being a step behind. It was especially problematic when trying to spot up in the corner. Now the player generally moves step by step, eliminating this pesty problem. Not only these, but most of the time, they actually lay the ball off the glass - I hated the weird teardrops from all close in from previous installments.

2) The AI is much, much more responsive, but the thing I noticed most? The fact they actually spot up behind the 3 point line now :lmao

Additionally, the AI ingame uses a *few* less underhanded tactics compared to past generations. They used to run guys to the paint and just stick them there, or make impossibly hard passes (to even see them would be impossible) to the paint to cutters. Now they seem to run legitimate plays, and defense is affective most of the time.

3) The shooting forms are even more realistic - daresay 2k8's werent really that realistic at all, compared to these. Additionally, the post moves seem much more refined and realistic. I found Tim spinning around guys, pump faking and doing up and unders, much better and more realistically than in 2k8. Even the jump hooks look better.


Overall, gotta give it a :tu Definitely not just a roster update every week.

[IronMexican]

Scoring is way too easy. I remember when I scored 100 with LeBron on 2k8, I felt like I accomplished something. I could easily do that now.

[koriwhat]

first time playing online and this dude quits on me while i'm up 10 on him at the end of the 1st.

i connect again with another person and we go pretty much head-to-head until the very end when i hit the game winning 3 with manu with 0.4sec's remaining(won by 1pt). that was a good game but i can tell i am far from the level i want to be at. personally i feel like i am playing like a beginner and even though i haven't tracked many minutes in 2k9 i feel like i should be doing more like in 2k8. i guess with time i will learn this game fully.

2k9 fuckin' rocks!

[IronMexican]

I started my fantasy season. Did what I do every year, Shaq & Kobe! I miss those days. And I still got love for Shaq

[BacktoBasics]

The score is too easy on both sides. I'm going to have to spend some time with the sliders to level this game off a bit but from the 4 games I've played I'm impressed. The game is amazingly fluid if you can patiently move around instead of pounding fancy dribbling left and right. I love the ease of setting picks too.

Ridiculously easy to score.. cpu makes every contested shot! but the gameplay is freakin sweet

While the scoring is easier than 2k8, I will be the first to say it is definitely an improvement. There was rarely a wide open layup in the half court offense - very unrealistic. Usually some player could get there and challenge the shot, and with fouls essentially turned off it made for less than appealing half court offense.

Additionally, oftentimes players who had less stature than yours -- even during fast break situations where they are simple standing there and your guys are full charge -- would block them, even with a very low block/defensive awareness rating. Now, players who usually are careless on D have been made so in the game, so those missed and open layups which SHOULD have been going in on 2k8, now do.

Also, with the much improved blocking (it used to be simply impossible to block a shot from behind unless you were very lucky) the easier layups are needed. Ive been swatting shots left and right with weak side defenders.

[Cry Havoc]

Does anyone else think that the graphics in 2k9 are far, far better than those in Madden? I know they are different franchises, but I feel there is a drastic disparity in quality between the two games. Madden looks like a cartoon by comparison, IMO.

[KidCongo]

Picked up 2k9 today going to play it now.

One post move glitch. You can back down, pump fake (which picks up your dribble), then power dribble into a hop step.. AKA DOUBLE DRIBBLE!

Online for 2k these first few days has been a disaster. I had to adjust some of my router settings bc i keep getting the "Check FAQ/2k website" error when trying to start a game.

Its not a personal thing I dig you guys too. Its more because I work with people all day long and generally can't stand the general public and that would make for akward silence while we played...at the end of the day I'm pretty much done talking and I'm usually in a pisspoor mood.

No one said you had to play with a mic....I never use one

Post your GT here so I can send the invite to the league.

[BacktoBasics]

I'll take that under consideration. When does the league start and what are the rules. How do you handle scheduling.

The draft will be whatever we can all agree on is a good time. The scheduling will be whenever the two people who have to play each other find the time to play. It will be a 20 game league, if that's cool with everyone?

i need 2k camera online! i can not play that side scrolling bs.... i keep getting my ass handed to me online because i can't see who i have on the other side of the court guarding who until the ballhandler brings the ball down and i have shit poor depth perception playing with that camera view. fuck why the hell is there no 2k camera online?

shit is pissing me off and not only the camera but the fact that i can only do player match online and it takes forever to find competition. i keep getting some stupid faq/2k unavailable bs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I can ONLY play with side scrolling.

I don't miss the 2K camera at all but I could see how some would

I almost lost a game due to me not being able to see where the man I was holding when they ran fastbreaks.

Just bought it today after work and WOW!

Better than 2k8 in every aspect (although the side scrolling sucks, but no big deal)

I like the TNT type presentation; Frawsome (= freaking awesome)

I've noticed Kobe's facial expression when coming off a time out, or the " MVP " chants when he's on the FT line :wow

Shooting forms even more realistic.

I also like the fact that big men will set picks, while in 2k8 you had guards or whoever was the closest doing it

I've played only 2 games so far, but it looks like the players rituals when someone else is shooting FT (like Rip arranging his mask or LBJ eating his fingernails) have disappeared.

Also, it looks like Odom doesn't bring the ball up on occasion when the Lakers inboud the ball (it was the case in 2K8), but I have to play more games to confirm that

[DannyT]

dannyt2ten is my tag...

[lefty]

" 6th man " chants for Manu when he's on the line :flag::flag::flag:

And the " Woooo " when CP3 scores

[lefty]

Oh, and the "Beat L.A" chants :hat

[BlackSwordsMan]

Why doesn't duncan get achievements anymore?

[dirk4mvp]

because there's like 4 other achievements that would be exactly what he would get.

I was on the virge of buying it... and then I found out... STEAM... Looks like I am not getting 2k9 for PC after all... I hate the direction PC gaming is going...

why in the world would you want to play 2k9 on a pc? do you not own a console? ps3, 360, even ps2?

[SAtown]

why in the world would you want to play 2k9 on a pc?

If there are patches being made I'd definately pick up a PC copy. People will probably find ways to modify the crowd, player appearances, maybe even stadiums... If you look at games like the pro evolution soccer series, you'd see that anything is possible on the pc

PCs are by far the most powerful of gaming systems. They are the most flexible and have an unparalleled amount of potential for coding by gamers. A Ps2 should not even enter into the discussion at this point, as it is ~1.5 generations old now.

PCs can use the same controllers that consoles do. They are every bit as well built for any type of game as consoles, although the latter are certainly more convenient.

It will be interesting to see how GTA IV plays on PC. I absolutely love the game for Ps3.
