NBA 2K9 Review

[RaychelSnr]

We have posted our review of NBA 2K9. Enjoy!

Quote:

"The NBA 2K series has a lot in common with the San Antonio Spurs. They’re both consistently competitive no matter who pops up to challenge them. They’re also proven winners. The 2K series has been the undisputed basketball champion since at least 2005, while the Spurs have won four NBA championships since 1999. Both of them suffered slight setbacks last season, but these setbacks weren't enough to take them out of the game. Now for the 2008-2009 season, both sides are looking to regain their dominance."

Basic online play is pretty much untouched from last year. The 2K Cam has been removed to the dismay of some fans but unless you used that camera angle you will be fine.

This should have been a bigger deal in the review. A TON of people use 2k cam.

And also a LOT of people play online....and its almost unplayable. Reviews should be on all aspects of the online, offline, association etc etc.

For me the default sliders are more of an issue than the 2k cam (there is another a lot like it) and the server issues.

Great review! I agree for the most part, it isn't perfect but getting damn near. Needs work on the servers, some commentary (I didn't think it was bad), and help side defense sometimes, but overall I agree with the 9.0 rating.

9? ok..

9 is being extremely generous...

Not a bad review...

This review is far too easy on the 2K team. There are simply too many bugs on and offline this year. The gameplay has suffered considerably. It's too easy to score with bigmen now. 3s rain down from any joe-blow who has a half-decent 3pt rating. It takes like 10 tries to randomly connect to a player for a "quick" match. WHERE ARE OUR LOBBIES? We can't even filter out all these damn Kobe/LeBron cheesers without lobbies! Sure, 2K is better than Live again, but at this point that's like saying chocolate tastes better than broccoli. LOOK WE KNOW THAT ALREADY. Instead of lauding 2K for beating the mentally challenged, overweight kid with one arm and a stumpy leg in dodgeball, why not CRITIQUE 2K for squandering its own potential with this messy, unfinished, buggy P.O.S. they've released this year?
