"Great NBA Basketball Game"
Pros: Great graphics, sound, presentation, gameplay, features, game modes
Cons: need good graphics card to fully take advantage of good graphics
Summary: NBA 2K9 on the PC is the best game ever. Before I had NBA Live 08 for the PC and I thought that it was pretty good. However, after playing this game Live 08 is average.
This game has the great graphics since it is a Xbox 360 port, so it has the next-gen graphics! In addition, it has the features that the 360 version has like substituting on the fly, calling plays and team strategies. This game has pretty good commentary. The game has a realistic atmosphere. The crowd is nicely done since they cheer and react to the game.
There are many different modes. You can play a season, and playoff. Also, you can play some games like the slam dunk contest, 3pt. shootout, 21, and pickup games which are games where you can play 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 4 on 4, or 5 on 5. You get to pick the players you want on your team.
There is even a practice mode in which you can practice the different offensive plays like pick-n-rolls. There is even a free throw practice mode--something I wish NBA Live 08 had. There are many modes, so you will never get bored.
2k did the right thing putting out this game on the pc since easports decided not to make its game on the pc.
I highly recommend this game and at $20.00, you cannot go wrong! Everyone needs a copy of this game if you are a basketball fan.
Updated on Nov 28, 2008Update: I was playing this game with the Logitech Dual Action gamepad and I thought it was good. I just got a wireless XBOX 360 controller for Windows and it so much more fun to play.
Updated on Nov 30, 2008The Shot Stick is a very fun way to shoot since it can perform many different types of shots, layups and dunks based on the direction you put the Right Analog Stick. This increases the number of shots you can perform since each direction has a different move. In NBA Live, you can either press the shoot button or dunk/layup button and it will make a certain type of shot at random. With a shot stick, you have more control over the type of shot you would like.
