NBA 2K9 Previews

I wonder if the secret online mode is an MMO type like NHL 09. That’d be nice. Or maybe something like create a cheerleader/dance team.

[quote comment="32772"]and Live is better right? I played Live recently and it needs to do more than just add “new” features. It needs to redo defensive,offensive AI and stop being so arcady. It is just like all EA (except hockey) games. Keep the same engine year after year and add COOL NEW FEATURES…BLAH, BLAH & BLAH. Nba2K at least has a strong gameplay base. #1 as always and that is reflected by their sales.[/quote]

Amen brotha!

[quote comment="32797"]wow that derrick rose screen shot looks mad good 2k is once again wining the battle with ea[/quote]

Let the battle begin! 2K all day!

wow i finally realized how crazy 2k fanboys are.
you know fanboys made me hate 2k

[quote comment="32779"]Taken from an OS Poster with my commentaryMy Commentary
I nearly wet my pants simply contemplating how dope that scenario would be if this is indeed the secretive and much-hyped online feature. The Preview simply reiterates 2K’s desire to portray the little nuances of basketball gameplay that Live just doesn’t get let alone implement. All of the little nuances that 2K implements in their game enhances the SIM expereince to point where any cheeser or basketball neophyte can be shredded with the good strategy and gameplay mastery, especially on defense. I have the ability choose which games I purchase and which games I want for free, after deeming it not worthy of my purchase. I will gladly purchase 3 copies of 2K9 on launch for myself, older brother and younger brother. Damn this franchise is crack! How dare Live fanboys try and compare a legimate behemoth of sim basketball that 2K represents, with a toothless, paper-tiger, gimmicky-laden arcade basketball that Live represents. WE DONT BELIVE YOU EA, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE![/quote]

Man I couldn’t of said it better! Live promoted signature moves last year as if it was some “new feature” when 2K already had that but yet they didn’t have to promote it as a new feature. In Live, only superstars have go to moves. In 2K, every single player all the way down to the 12th player on the bench plays exactly like themselves. From they’re tendencies to the way they shoot, dribble, run, ect…I was blown away with 2K’s ability to pay attention to every little detail. EA still doesn’t get that. Little details do make a huge difference. EA still doesn’t even have refs on the field in Madden. WTF?

[quote comment="32791"]meh the game is going to suck . and the game still looks like crap. and the secret is going to be garbage.[/quote]

Ok…..& you base this off of what again??? If you’re gonna say that at least give reasons why you think that.

well Josh the gamespot preview sucked it showed the chinks in 2k’s armor

Wade I can understand if you like Live better & I have no problem with that. At least we all have a choice in basketball games unlike football. Honestly I want Live to get back to being on top but I’m also a realist Wade. I know that 2K isn’t perfect but if you can’t see that 2K is more realistic than Live then I don’t know what to tell you. I even said that Live looks improved this year & that I might consider buying it because of it’s FIBA mode. I just don’t understand how you can say 2K sucks. You lose all credibility when you say that.

No video game ever made has been perfect games from halo to madden have always had problems anyone who disagrees doesnt know what they are talking about. Ea and 2k both produce great games each year and yeah its nice that we have a choice unlike football were the only option we have is between nfl and college and both games are made by the same brand and it gets anoying to see the mostly the same things but with basketball its tottally different.I mean think about if ea bought out the nba license just like the nfl one then we could only choose between ncaa 09 and live. so basicallyboth game will have their problems but are still fun and great to play and isnt that the point of video games to have fun. People just care about graphics this gameplay that no matter what 2k and ea will both produce fun and enjoyable video games so people should stop going crazy over things that are not needed to be fixed

kwas676, Kobe and LeBron can really dominate games though…..

KOBE & LeBRON should dominate!!! It would be weird if they didn’t…

2k fanboys ruin a great game in NBA 2k

I will not be buying this game this year or Live for that matter Im just not that impreesed.

I’ll be getting both games but Live has impressed me much more up to now. The Live 360 and DNA and OTP features are great. That doesn’t mean the game will play better than 2K but I’m interested because of them.

Josh, You have spoken from my heart, You are definetely a core basketball player.

The theory is simple:
if You like quality simulation basketball games = You have got to be a 2k fanboy. And proudly I am…

And David, I have plenty of reasons to hail 2k over LIVE…

yo whoever just saw those new screenshots that were posted those are amazing NBA 2k9 is the best live will not even come close!!!! Kbshowtyme!!! are u serious did u see derrick rose and Carlos boozer those are the real fucking people

2k9 looks amazing the faces look to realistic for a video game…

Tony Parker looks like me

They need to somehow make College Hoops 2K8 draft classes compatible with this game. That would be the perfect solution since I would assume 2009 rosters will be hitting the 2K Sports Locker or whatever it’s called soon.

I love 2K Sports. I will be getting this game for sure.

I have to agree with the good comments on 2k9, its real simple in my mind, if your looking for a good SIMULATION game you go with NBA 2k9, if you want a little more of an arcade type of feel you go get yourself Live.. U would have to be blind if you thought otherwise cause its very obvious to see which game is better gameplay wise.. Graphically 2k is looking alot better this year then last so im looking for this to be one of the best, if not the best b-ball sims we have ever seen

2k9 all day best game ever hands down

this game is gona look bangin just look at those new screenshots paul pierce —wowww

Two words
NBA LIVE! we always have better graphics the main players dont look realistic look at KG he looks like he is HIGH! and why does tony parkers hands look like that. wow terrible animation
