Hi friends , I am going to write a review about NBA 2K9. Among the countless enhancements, the gameplay alone stands out. They’ve sped it up a little, made lockdown defense feel authentic, implemented better computer AI – both your opponents and teammates – and of course, continued to upgrade the graphics to include highly impressive animations.No longer will you have to try to win the game by yourself as a one man team, rather you have smart teammates to assist you this time around.Running the fast-break is much more authentic, though there’ll be occasions where players will run too far and catch the ball underneath the hoop. On top of that, the shot stick changes allow players to change their shot in mid-air in case they have Dikembe Mutumbo breathing down their neck hoping to stuff their shot.
Building momentum is essential, so the more successful you are at making shots, the better chance you’ll have at making a game-winning shot.Having played through years of the Association 2.0 game mode, it’s apparent that there were a few errors that the development team overlooked. One that is almost a game-breaker is when NBA 2k9 freezes up more often then not when trying to go into the screen to develop my players. Trying to take Amir Johnson, a prospect for the Detroit Pistons, into a routine where he can improve his ball-handling skills, NBA 2k9 stops dead in its tracks and has gamers turning off their Xbox 360 to begin anew. The same problem occurred time after time when I’d try to load my association save file from within the association menu.
Audio and graphics are still excellent with a few upsides and downsides. The animations are still top notch, while the faces of the NBA players could look better. There are also unique free-throw animations for several players and a ton of animations added in for coaches and mascots, but they’ll repeat after a few games are played. As for the audio, Cheryl Miller, Clark Kellogg and Kevin Harlan do a quality job providing commentary, but they aren’t the most exciting trio of commentators.
