great game with some issues
2k9 is a good game that is two steps too slow. What I mean is the controls are very sloppy. Its to bad because for me its the only thing holding back this game from being great. Besides that the game play is topnotch. You have to work for every possession. I wouldn't say the game is cheap but, until you get a hang of the controls you can't fully enjoy the game. There way too many blocks, because of how long it takes for shooting animations. Like I said if they fix the controls this would not be an issue. If you like real basketball [read: sim] this is the game for you. As far as new additions go you have to love 2k share, especially if you want some great downloads of user created stuff like game play sliders,achievement sliders,etc. Online & multi-player is where I think this game shines the most. For you achievement whores out there they're the same as last year game.
