Now that the features of the game have been officially announced and the game displayed for the first time it looks like various outlets can now start providing media on NBA 2K9.
SportsGamer has posted up the ratings for the point guards. You can check out the full listings and category breakdowns here.
Gametrailers has posted up a gameplay video featuring the Hornets vs Bulls.
Chris Paul 96, Williams, 95/96 give or take a few lines, Nash, Parker and Barron 94, Kidd 92(he still got it)Billups 89..............I think thats more like real life.

Jason Kidd is 97 on ball defense? That is crazy. More than half of the league could blow right by him.
@pat U DON'T undastand he's da 1 dat switched my avatar 2 dis GAY ISH & WON'T switch it BACK

after seeing the player ratings on operation sports i guess ima have to get used to seein the rockets and suns online... and there are a bunch of 99s that should go down when the "insider" gets to them

s dot now u know hot it feels when sumone keeps saying the same thing "if ur not first ut last" doesnt that ring a bell
cuz fact is about 97% of all media in the United States is controlled by the
(I believe it's) 7 MEGA / Parent company's SONY being 1 Disney is another I think another1 is called News Cast & so on
basically every TV channel / movie company is the seed of 1 of the 7 parent company's

actually T-MAC isn't wearing generics AI & Yao are though
treyyy
Wow Big upgrade on TMAC face last year he looked like an alien with patches in his head, now he looks like the real TMAC. Also they got his free throw down pact this year, IM EXCITED 4 2k
treyyy
Im glad both games finally took off TMAC's leg sleeve that really irritated me considering he hasnt worn it for 4 years now.

commentary once again.....LOLOLOLOL. Are they f-ing serious. Oh well.
ummm....looks good I guess. The play looks pretty lifeless away from the ball to me, anyone feel the same? I'm mean it don't see really any fighting for position, it's a bit odd.
with 2K you kinda have just play the game because usually thats when you notice all the small things that matter. looks like a basketball fanatics dream come true this year..... two playable and exciting games.
FINALLY!

[quote comment="37378"]Im ready to see more rankings...whats the word on that Pasta??
Man the game play looks crisp. The running animations looked nice, I saw that hot potatoe shit with shaq and amare JR, that was kinda weird. Looks like another 2k year for me though. Great to see what competition can do for a game because I think both LIVE and 2K improved. We need that for madden that games gotten stale. I know its cosmetic but is it me or are players that hand brand name shoes last yr wearing generic ones this year like Yao, Tmac, AI????

o yeah then how come once both games hit the next gen the 2k seires has had much bettter sales

from the looks of gameplay video, live was a little better in the sliding department. much improved player models and graphics for 2k this year. from the live demo vids on youtube, i did notice that shots were either swishes or off the rim with the exception of layups. no lucky bounces, either nothing but net or rimmed out. minor stuff tho.
wish dey wouls sho apic or a clip of ny son JR I thought 4 sure I wuz gonna see him in dat Nuggets vid
cuz last yr he went off dey betta show him so LUV & hav him tatted & Boosted up he did his best 2 go @ my dude KOBE
JR
Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul. They are both great point guards. Personally I'll take Deron over Paul only because Williams is thriving in Jerry Sloan's system which is very restrictive and very well structured. I don't know how many other young point guards could be as productive as Williams in that system. However, Deron and Paul are two different type of point guards, they are both very special. I can't say one is better than the other.
Back to my point about the introduction presentation. I liked the break down, the real life footage was really nice, but in franchise mode if you trade one of those players away and your 2 seasons into your franchise they are going to use the same footage. That's why I wish they would use gameplay footage or something else instead of that. I really liked that too, until they showed the commentators...that was a little cheesey, but I guess it doesn't hurt. I wish either game would bring warmup gear in the game....I can't see why neither of these games put it in there...but anyway. Videos looked good; however, when watching the A.I. on the offensive end I really didn't see any plays being ran and a way too much passing. I saw Shaq and Stoudamire (I think) pass the ball to each other back and forth 3 times like a hot potato...what was that about?
I liked the speed of the game as well, you feel the uptemponess of the game now which was lacking last year. 2 good NBA games this year. I'm a happy camper.

[quote comment="37373"]Good post Nba...I couple things I've noticed overall..the defensive AI is a lot better(help defense and reaction to the pic and roLL) Alley hoop, players on bench, and crowd look a lot more realistic. I also noticed how the goal moves on big dunks, and the graphics are improved..It seems pretty perfect..At some point, 2k has to go ahead and purchase the shoe license, because shoes and style are a big part of the NBA..

I agree with everthing u posted.
