Why I'm Done With NBA Basketball This Year: NBA 2K9

[ex carrabba fan]

What's up with OP's thing under his name "Steve says I'm pitiful"? Anyone care to explain that.

And didn't OP's name used to be red? How is it white, that's wild IMO.

Always the answer to everything

How is it that I have not even played 10 games from beginning to end of my favorite hoop series. Every few weeks I try and go back but despite all the beauty and the depth of the franchise the gameplay itself is off. Look at it like this. No momentus videos this year, and you have DC of all people saying he may be spending more time in the live forums... surely the world is at an end as we know it...

200% agree I've barely finished 8 total games just to get achievements and even if I win I'm pissed on how much I had to tolerate to get that win.

It is so constructive and on point with the ongoing discussion... Mods?

None of that in this thread sir.. anyone following his lead will be taken care of

NBA 2K8....better defense?

i am dumbfounded by all the "i-cant-take-another-second-of-nba2k9" talk!!! yes it has it's issues but DAMN... it's not THAT bad & is still the best option.

yes EA has some very innovative ground work to build on BUT there is a reason all of you "2k players" switched from Live in the first place! MAAAAYBEEE they have changed there motto.... MAAAYBEEE they have finally done something to make their product better (after taking 5 years 2 do-so)

BUT 2k has OBVIOUSLY been listening & fixing!

LIVE MADE SUCH A HUGE JUMP ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE THAT FAR BEHIND!

would we have rather had the "gradual fixing & new concepts" each year that 2k does that is which specific to our complaints
or
Live's yearly ignoring of what there fans desire & then FINALLY fixing something and interacting after a 6 years & come off smelling like a bed of roses.

IM SO CONFUSED! i'm not saying that 2k9 doesn't have problams BUT they do not outweigh the positives & the 2k mods fix our gripes or as another poster stated "we would still be complaining about the same things from last year!"

i still love the game... i do wish that some things get fixed pronto... i expect that they will because they always address problem... & even though i long for the day of a "perfect-out-the-box" b-ball game; i know that is not reality... a lot of this bashing is slighty understandable but not warranted & definitley not to the level of:
"I CAN"T PLAY THIS GAME AT ALL!"

we will see the majority of you whining & complaining or praising and posting in excitement about NBA 2K next year... & the year after... & the year after

Your post are getting more mediocre by the second with none facts.

Fact is Defense was better in 2k8 along with the sliding less of a factor or the clipping. Sad thing is I have proof. Enjoy OS for here is the proof that 2k9 stepped backwards, not forward and is terrible and justifying even more what Chris said!
