NBA 2K9 - Xbox 360

NBA 2K9 is one of the best basketball games out there. Its live rosters, great graphics and audio makes it one of the best sports games out there. The price for this game is great. The only problem is that it has not alot of featues, long learning curve make it a dull game. I would only recommend this for people who live basketball.

I don't like how they got rid of Lobbies online so you can't really pick your opponant to make sure they aren't a quitter or rook, and sometimes it takes forever to connect to a match, but once you're connected, its awesome. Its hard, so ROOKS NEVER WIN! I don't like how they changed dunking. and ally-oops are not nearly as sick as they were in 2k8. But i LOVE HOW REALISTIC/HARD IT IS!

Once again 2K9 put out anohter great game. The graphics are gareat. The Crowd is alive, game play is smooth as silk. moves are good. The gameplay is so real when I play with the spurs on a fast break bruce bowen runs into the corner of the court to set up for a three like in real life. Also when the lakers play in real life the lights in the stadium are only turned on on the court while the rest of the stadium is dark 2K9 displays that just like in real life. Only knock I have on it is that the online doesn't have game lobby to pick who you want to play. Would like to see the coaches talk As well as draw up game winning plays. I recommend 2K9 there is nothing close to this game it separates the Men from the boys. If your a kid and just want to do unrealistic dunks and moves play NBA live. If you wanna play a real game Play 2K9

Nba 2k9 is a great game , it's just like the nba the dunks, the shooting,the defense,when a team in the nba is hot ,there hot in the game, when a player is nice in real life , there un-stoppable in the game , but because its actually like the nba , that brings 2k to a downfall, it's dam near impossible to get a dunk or lay-up unless its on fast break, the cpu really improved their defense its hard to cross dem over, and its hard to control certain players like jamal crawford because it has the players actual release . But 2k9 is better than live 09 ,live improved but no where near 2k, live still looks like arcade nba jam ,and the defense and moves are still garbage, live has dna, which means if a player is good in real life then he's good in the game etc. but fyi 2k does the same its just not called DNA; so get 2k9

The box says it self #1 NBA video game.Ever since this game came out it has been above and beyond EA's title.With the crowd rip roaring on a big game play.Players pulling off that impossible shot,and the controls are silky smooth.But with any video game always comes flaws.This time around instead of making lay-ups impossible they made free-throws a little harder than before.When you get the ball into the post it's kind of hard to make your guy back down or sometimes shoot the ball.But that's not any reason not to get this game.I think that the 2K series has come along way to be #1 when it comes to Graphics,Sound,Controls,and just plain fun.

I really like how 2k updates the rosters and I really love the teamup mode which let's you be a specific player on the team. I'd say it's pretty cool, but sometimes people don't do what they do... I saw people shoot 3 pointers with Yao Ming and miss everytime. Plus the connection is really really annoying. To connect to xbox live for 2k it takes 5 minutes to load. REALLY annoying!!!. Plus if you wanna play team-up it sometimes kicks you out for no reason or the game doesn't load. I recommend this game only for Basketball addicts and if other friends have this so you can play team-up. I would give it 5/5 if they fixed the connection. (My connection is great on other games)

Ight so when day on my way home i went to blockbuster to rent nba live 09 but they didn't have it. So instead i rented this game and I love it. I am not usually a fan basketball games but this one changed my mind. The graphics are outstanding. The game play is great. I love the idea of the shot stick Its very fun to use. It is defiantly the most realistic bball game I have every played.

the realest basketball simulation ever made. each player has there own unique style of play, lebron attacks the bucket like no other on the game and kobe's all around game showcases why he's he best in the league ever since i purchased the game i havent put it down i dont think i'll put it down till 2k10 hits the market!
