NBA 2K9 Gameplay Footage

by
Posted September 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm

NBA 2K9 had some time on Gamespot’s “On the Spot” show today. While there was some early video from E3 this represents the first real look at a near finished build of the game.

Amuse yourself as awkward questions such as how many teams the game has and if it has freestyle moves are asked. There were some really nice animations and I like the game speed being faster (some will like that others might not) but on the downside there was some pretty severe sliding. I do like the way the highlights are displayed at breaks in the action such as the end of quarter.

Continue on to view the video. You’ll want to jump ahead to the 23:50 mark and it runs until 34:40. Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments.

    I really wanted to see a closer race between Live and 2K this year and a few months back I thought this might be the year Live is better. Live, although they fixed the getting pulled out of bounds animation, their lock-on D always involves magnetizing the offensive player. Then there is the clipping issues. Those 2 are deal breakers for me because even when you look like you have a step on the defender, you dont…. and even when it looks like your playing perfect defense, apparently you arent.

    2K hands down.

    Nuff said from Shankdogg at sportsgamer.com, ha!

    This is by far the best looking crowd I’ve seen in a sports game recently..Should look amazing in HD. People nitpick about wayy to much stuff and they havent even played the game..

    2k > Live Anyday. Remember guys EA sports..of course live will have problems.07 and 08 both suffered pretty bad..and from playing the 09 demo..it doesnt play that much better. This looks and WILL play a lot better than EA

    The sliding wasn’t that severe. I don’t know what anybody’s complaining about. The game looked great to me. The only thing I hate is how players accessories & socks disappear when they’re sitting on the bench. WTF? Other than that no complaints from me. Can’t wait til Oct 7!

    [quote comment="36893"]Here we go again; All those nit picking complaining blowhards, who happen to be on a Sports Thread commenting on a game, that they themselves will be purchasing on release day, demo be damned. Yes, there was sliding, but we know that the gameplay in past 2K games endured some of this same issue of sliding, yet had no tangible or direct impact on the overall gameplay let alone impeding the actual enjoyment of the game. During an intense online league matchup, or association game for that matter, the sliding is neglibile at best, because it is the least of your concerns, unless you are a anal graphic detail wh**re, whose eyes are constantly drawn to something so insignificant that borders on frivolous irrelevance as it pertains to the actaul gameplay. Seriously, what is your alternative? Deluding yourself into purchasing live because you think it will deliver a more sim product than 2K? That is the overriding concern when you purchase a sports game considering your trolling of a sports video game mecca that is PastaPadre, right? One of the few games I will purchase solely on reputation and past experiences. Oct.7 get here already, demo be damned.

    100% cosigned! I don’t know what video everyone was watching but I hardly saw any sliding & even if there was I would take a little sliding here & there any day over a robotic non fluid NBA Live. Man did you see how real this game looks? For a second I thought I was watching a real live game! Live players look like zombies & they’re cartoony. Oh yea, & for the guy who said the gameplay is a lot like 2k8, is that supposed to be a bad thing? You’re gonna have to play the game to realize how many new animations they’ve added this year. You can’t tell by watching a 2 minute video.

  • TeeJizzle

    nba 2k9 is going to be good, i’ll be sure to laugh at those that are saying it sux, and when the demo comes out they change their mind and start saying live sux, the gameplay doesn’t look the same to me, i don’t see where you all are getting that from, new layups, the jukes look new, it seems like the slimmed everyone up, that’s maybe my only dislike.

    I must say, after buying Live last year and playing the demo this year, it is dissapointing to me. 2k9 looks superior in almost every aspect, other than the electric slide :D

    Hello everyone!

    Josh, what are You talking about? You are really taking care about socks on players sitting on the bench? Are You kidding me? This is the funniest thing I ever heard…whining, that the sock is not correct on a player off-court…what is next? Phil Jackson’s tie is not correct, coz in real life it is 5 cm longer?

    Positive things:

    I like it, that You can throw in-bound the ball quickly after a basket.
    Collison animations are fantastic.
    The camera angles on replays are much better.

    Negative things:
    Feels like 2k8 (but that is not neccessary a bad thing…)

    Strange to say, but yesterday I played nba 2k6 on xbox360.

    According to me, 2k6 has got the best player model, sweat and sweaty cloth graphics and replay mechanism. Controls are players moves are awful.

    Not really its just because we know everything there is about Live already thanks to all the videos and people like Pasta but nothing much was really available about 2K9 until yesterday. Of course everyone is going to ask about 2K9. Plus no one cares about NBA The Inside.
