what i love about this game is that it got harder. no more throwing the ball and moving your player to get an easy dunk i tried its hard. also the defense is hella improved in 2k8 it was almost impossible to block a big guy but i saw some crazy blocks and defense and a lot of missed shots i think bynum missed 6 shots in 2k8 they were shots he would have made. what i dont like is the control stick i cant do **** i was gettin pissed but all in all this game got tougher and better and more realistic

I agree with this. 2k8 was a great game. I just wish sports games didn't come out every year. I think updating one game for 2 years would be great.

But I'm a sucker for 2k basketball so I'm going to have to buy this one.

well that would be cool but 2k needs to make money off how good 2k8 was lol

Oh man I just did the Rondo mini-Dream Shake. It was amazing.

Gasol threw down a NASTY put back slam on KG, I never felt so proud to get dunked on off a rebound.

They could sell the expansions and the new season updates. I'd rather spend lets say 20 to 25 bucks for updated rosters and further gameplay tweaks for the upcoming season than pay another 60. Just wishful thinking.

Does that just occur when you go up for a layup into an animation or is there a sequence of buttons you must press

[Pared]

It's controllable. Not sure about the sequence though. I believe it's pretty difficult to pull off.

This game is NOT SDTV friendly wich sucks because I really like the gameplay. I finally hit a beyond half court shot! If I get a HDTV soon enough I'll buy it though I wasn't really planning on a basketball game this year but I'm not buying a game with about 45% of the screen missing.
