2k9 is a fun game & if ur not picky about games being the exact same as last the last one then you should play this
I just want to say for the record that NBA 2k9 is one of the hardest sports games i have EVER EVRER played! To start off the A.I is much diffrent then the privous 2 years since the franchise jumped to next gen. FOR EXAMPLE unlike the past 2 years where you can pick Labron or Kobe and just score on anyone on any team at anytime you want and the A.I at the time was too stupid to counter that...well thats DEFENITLY not case in this years NBA 2K (soon to be last year by the time you read ths lol) First off as i was playting this for the first time when it first came out i was expecting to whoop A** lke i ushally do with my team the BULLS! (dont judge me) lol but hell no! im sooo flipping wrong! he A.I is smarter this time around. Like if you do the same exact play and player they will catah on and counter you by gang rapeing you under the basket. Also if you don have a strdegy involving passing to somone else other than your star player because they will double gaurd your a** too. Now 2nd thing i also noticed is that their now is a hot and cold meter...the meter gives a red or blue meter under player when near the permeiter of the basket. Blue means most likely he will miss the basket, while red means hes more likely gonna make it (really helpful in my opion) but other than that and maybe 2 new features thats not really inrtresting nor helpful, the gameplay is pertty much the same as last year and the year b4. Same graphics, same speed per frame and thats it..really nothing really new...but still another good game to add since the roster and XBOX LIVE is always diffrent evry year.
Visuals:
The Visuals like i said earlyer is pretty much the same and if i didnt know any better i think the graphics are a lil down graded compared to last years..idk its just me..but ya thatz really nothing new...
NBA 2K9 is what you can see from my short review is nothing new and just a few new changes thats barly noticable but dont getme wrong the game is still fun as hell and if you like last year and not picky about games at all then you will still love 2k SPorts latest masterpice (i used that term lightly) now if your a fan pick this up...or just wait till the winter time for 2k10 lol
