Keys to win with Spurs on 2K9:
- Feed Timmy
- Kick Finley out of the starting line up (no kidding)
Whats up all my fellow Spurs fans and 2k9 players I created this thread to share some of my knowledge on this game and help you become a better player. I am not going to say that I am the best player in the world but I would like to think that I am pretty ing good
My tips are for you when using the Spurs but can be applied to other teams as well. I am assuming that we all know the basics of gameplay and know how the buttons are mapped and so on. I will write some strategies to help you utilize your players better. I will update this each day for each player on the Spurs, If it gets a good response of course. Here we go:
Tony Parker Point Guard #9
Rating:88
Tony Parker is without any question the BEST player on your squad. Thats right I said it. Yes he is better than 97 rated Duncan and 91 rated Ginobili. How you may ask? Quite simple in NBA 2k9 he is UNSTOPPABLE. 1 on 1 it is over. His spin is nasty and speed is incredible. Since he is the point guard the ball is always in his hands. If you dont think he is unstoppable I want you to do this. Have the ball with Tony call a quick Iso play size up the defender (Tap left trigger on Xbox360) then stutter (tap right trigger on xbox 360) and once he brings the defender in drive past him to the hoop. Tell me how many lay ups you get and and one plays you get off that alone.You can thank me later for that one.Thats just one of the things that makes him incredible in this game. there is more but I cant give away all my knowledge lol. One thing I will recommend is that you practice finishing around the rim with him.
Tony best crossover is his spin (Hold right trigger and move the left analog from dribbling hand to other hand in half circle motion just like doing a yoga fire with Dhalsim back in the day) His Basic crossover is nasty and around the back is great for getting through tight spaces. Tony Parker also has a very good mid range game in 2k9. Dont be afraid to pop the mid range game. Its not flashy but it is very underrated in this game.
What makes Tony Parker the best player on the Spurs and what also makes NBA 2k9 so great is signature styles. Players tend to mimic themselves in 2k9 more so than other games from their authentic jumpshots to their patented Dunks and Layups. This year 2k really added to their lay up packages and there is alot of different things you can do. Now we all know Tony Parker is famous for his "Giant Killer" his teardrop. In Nba 2k9 he has this as well. You can bring this out by holding the right analog stick in the opposite direction you are facing(for example in 2k view hold down on the right analog stick) You want to use this when driving past the defender and you have an open space you hold the right analog stick around the foul line to start the animation. Use this with the size up stutter drive combo I mentioned earlier and you are just starting to peel the layers on this fantastic player.
Thats it for today if you guys are interested I will post tomorrow on everyones favorite Shooting guard the great Manu Ginobili .Also if you have any other questions on 2k9 I will try my best to help you out.
As always
Keys to win with Spurs on 2K9:

well i DLed splitter to my team and traded away ime and bonner. keeping vaughn though. my current team
PG-Tony Parker, George Hill, Jacque Vaughn
SG-Manu Ginobili, Roger Mason, Salim Stoudimire
SF-Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley, Malik Hairston
PF-Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter
C-Kurt Thomas, Fabricio Oberto, Ian Manhinmi
i downloaded him from the created player uploads. search for him, i think theres only one. I had to edit his hair, changed it from red to blonde and added a goatee.
2k9 is way too easy to cheese , thats why you would say Tony is better than Tim & Manu
Yao Ming is completely and utterly unstoppable in this game.
It's sick.
also, cheesers suck.
Matt Bonner league MVP.
turn on fatigue.
You should check out these realistic pro basketball games:

http://web.me.com/jpkuchar/thecpbgame/home.html (this one is new and is excellent)
If you are more of a coach than player or just prefer more realistic games with realistic stats.......some of you may enjoy these games. Check them out.
Did u get Mahinmi and Hill from online updates? Because I cant find them in the game.
i got hill from online updates (the living roster feature) and i DLed mahimni from the uploaded created players.
I disagree. NBA 2k9 is the best basketball game you can play. The fact that Tony is better than Manu and Duncan in this game has nothing to do with cheese and everything to do with signature style. He is a super quick point guard who can break down his defender in the blink of an eye. Just like in real life Tony makes his living getting to the hoop blowing by his defender with his super speed. What is cheesy about that?
Yao Ming is God in this game.Just like in every 2k game he is in. If he is close to the hoop forget about it. One game Yao had 12 blocks against me
Sufficient to say after that game I mastered how to finish around the hoop with smaller guards against big men. Now I damn near make Yao foul out everytime with Tony driving to the hoop.
Glad to see we have some 2k9 players on here. My Ginobili strategy will be posted later I am at work at the moment(I work on the Stock Exchange in NY)
I shoudnt even be typing this now lol but we are not doing much today.
I suck with the Spurs in 2k9 atm, in 2k8 I was bad ass though. I even subbed Tony Parker out in 2k8 to go with a bigger lineup (Gino, Finley/3pt shooter, Bowen, TD, and Thomas were my starters) and definitely am guilty of some cheese back in the day. It used to be so easy just to have TD run towards the basket, throw a pass from Gino, and DUNK. Now the ball gets picked up pretty easy if you try to dump it down low.
However cheese is definitely still prevalent in the game, and one of the cheesiest teams has to be the Charlotte Bobcats. May seem like a suprising choice, but Jacob Richardson alone with his near pefect 3 pt range and phenomenal dunking ability delivers just as much if not more headaches than a Kobe cheeser.
There is a ton of cheesing in 2k9. They made the superstars more unstoppable than ever.
I used to find the lock down thing of 2k8 a bit much (like shaq being able to shut down Nash at the halfcourt line) but with the way they pumped up the superstars, it is really tough sometimes.
I also hate how you can hit 3's as easily as free throws this year.
All in all still a great game, but far from perfect.
this entire post is wrong....so so wrongWhats up all my fellow Spurs fans and 2k9 players I created this thread to share some of my knowledge on this game and help you become a better player.

hey man easy solution..ive never paid for my xboxlive..just create a new gamertag, and follow the prompts to set your live account up, it should tell you that you are eligible for a 1 month free trial everytime you do it.. if you are concerned about your stat keeping, not a good solution, but if you just wanna play enjoy your free xboxlive..
the 2k9 computer is ridiculously hard.
Parker was unstoppable on 2k8, but now sucks major ass on 2k9, which is gay. Kobe is the new unstoppable force on 2k9.
I won the championship in the most difficult mode with the Spurs
Suns in 7
Hornets in 7
Rockets in 7
Sixers (WTF) in 7
In each of these series, I was down 3-2 or 3-1
And you get to see David Stern at the end of the Finals
Please elaborate. What am I wrong on?
Yeah I used to think the same thing. When I first got the game I instantly put it on HOF (being the superior 2k player I am been playing since 2k on the dreamcast) then I played a couple of games and had my ass handed to me on a platter. I took it down a level just to become acquainted with the game. The first thing I learned is that you cannot play this game how you would play 2k8. You have to slow down.
First pointer I give everyone is stop holding the turbo button. It's hard to adjust to at first but when you stop holding turbo you will see players are more responsive, crossovers are more effective.Computer has a hard time reacting to changes of speed and will usually get beat when you move your player one direction (not holding turbo) then crossover to the other hand and
holding turbo after the crossover.
False. Tony parker is unstoppable in NBA 2k9 as well. Kobe has always been a to deal with in video games. just like Lebron and other Superstars. They cant be stopped but they can be contained. all my friends are laker fans and all I play against are the goddamn Lakers so I know exactly what you mean. Now I have gotten to the point where I can hold him under 30. If you can get Kobe or Lebron under 30 I consider that a very good defensive effort
Just make sure you win the game
No better feeling ithan to play the Lakers and shut Kobe down. Most of them are trash and cannot adjust if you take their number one option away.They may pass it a couple of times but that dosen't last long, they regress to chucking the ball up with Kobe regardless who is around them. If your D aint right there is nothing I can tell you that can save you against them guys.
You're playing the Spurs wrong. I just beat the Warriors by 65 points on Hall Of Fame the other day.
Calling TP the best player on the team is also incorrect.
It's 3 easy ways to beat the CPU using the Spurs and none involve the "strategy guide" you provided.
#1 Feed Duncan. 9 times out of 10, Duncan will post up on the blocks. Swing the ball around to each player until the closest guy can lob him a pass that won't get tipped. A couple of post moves and it's an easy 2. Continue until the double teams start. Kick it out and whoever is behind the 3 point line should have an easy 3 except for Parker. That's a 50/50. You can also pull up and drive but only with Finley or Manu.
#2 may sound boring, but keep sending Parker in the lane for layups without doing all that fancy dribble crap. You should get hacked a lot. If you know what you're doing, you can be in the bonus 2 minutes into a game (I did this to the Mavs so Dirk had to sit and it worked) The only team this won't work on is Houston.
Finally, #3 is.......... I'm not giving away all the awnsers. Mess around on 8 minute quarters and it should be obvious.
kick it into timmay and watch his greatness
Do one's for Manu and Timmy!!!Tony Parker Point Guard #9
