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.

    @josh that could be true mayB they haven’t I think though if d’s games were developed on the PS3 instead of being ported over to PS3 that they would have the socks on bench players

    Blu ray just has SO much more space than those regular disc I think maybe (emphasis on the word MAYBE) to much that they are already trying to fit on the disk that adding might be problematic which is why they leave it out

    sorta like last yr how Live locked the edit player accessories option cuz they said it was causing the game to malfunction

    LOL. I was talking about what I saw in the 2K video. 2K fan boys are quick to defend themselves talking about Live’s short comings, hence strengthens my previous arguements that 2K depended on Live’s failures to be considered a successful game. Nonetheless, I’m comparing 2K9 to 2K8 and you guys are pretty sensitive. Sliding and warping is an issue when its being displayed on a demo for the game that hasn’t released much information in the last few months. I’m sorry sdot, just take it like a man. I am just as harsh with 2K as I was with Live. When I play with 2K I’ll point out the good. Funny how you didn’t get on me for the positives, but you get on me for the negatives? Every game has its pros and cons. The game is far from perfect. Sorry sdot, I don’t live in a biased world. I play all bball games, and I don’t fall in line with one or the other. I play both. Sorry troll, try again. Type some more ghetto ebonics and type in CAPS so it makes you look and feel important. I’m done. Time to play (as in real life). Peace

    yea a great example of this is MGS4 which would have took numerous disks to fit on the 360… it kind of makes me wonder how great madden could be on the ps3 if they exclusively worked on it for the ps3 and 360 alone instead of porting the 360 version over :-/, but that would cost to much for EA because GOD FORBID they sacrafice some money to make an amazing game

  • lonnie

    i prefer EA games over 2k,i like the football better,i like sonys the show better than 2k baseball and EA hockey blows 2k off the ice but when it comes to basketball i have always liked 2k much better but i have gotten so bored with it,it seems to be the same thing every year with a new paint job and updated rosters and the one thing that it lacks the most for me is the fun factor,it just doesn’t seem as fun as nba livve 09s demo,so this is the year for me to switch.i’m not saying i’m right and your wrong,i feel we should all play whats the most fun for us,to each his own,if you still enjoy 2k,great have fun.

    @sdot: What is there to read? I watched a video, holmes. I’m not basing my opinion off of what some dude at Sportsgamer says. I’m basing my opinion off of what I see with my own two eyes. My own two eyes saw a boatload of skating, warping and disjointed animations. Might be time to take those rose-colored, 2K glasses off, man. This game looks just like last year, which is still worse than 2K7.

    But that’s cool. You take your ebonics and have a good time. I can’t be bothered to read the comments here anymore because all you do is spam it with your horrible grammar, appalling English and ‘roid rod picture. You sure are all kinds of short bus special.

    Shows how much u kno.. 2k cancelled after negotiations soured between 2K Sports and The Collegiate Licensing Company, the company who owns the license to NCAA basketball and other sports. EA now has Exclusive rights, They just keep buying away the competition. EA now has Exclusive rights to NCAA Football, as well as the NFL, FIFA, PGA TOUR, NASCAR and Arena Football League. So I guess last time I checked ur wrong. I guess I kno more than u.

  • root

    pasta sounds like both live and 2k are going to be great, however I aam big on realism of rosters especially on draft class importing, I would really appreciate if you can find out if ea will allow importing from ncaa like in the past, and also if there will be a way for 2k to have some sort of answer to this due to the end of the 2k ncaa series, this will be the deciding factor for me this year. please find out pasta! thanks

    @root – They’ve already said that there will be no importing of NCAA rosters into NBA Live this go-around. Once again, another wish list item

    @ everybody. Each game has their pro’s and con’s. Both games are better than what they were last year.

    There’s nothing wrong with being a 2K loyalist if the game has been delivering

    There’s nothing wrong with appreciating Live’s innovation.

    But there is no need to get childish on here. When I look at both games, I try to look at the positives and negatives. If you can over look it, then thats you, but by defending a game’s faults or relying on the competitions faults to justify it is just stupid.

    Now which type of fan boy am I going to be called today? 2K or Live, how about a new one? NBA 09?
