NBA 2k9 is probably going to be the last nba 2k game there is going to be for ps2 and they sure gave it their last effort in making this game great. first with the newly added hot zones, it makes the gameplay more realistic with knowing where a person is hot and not. Next, along with that, in the 4th quarter, those players that care clutch (like kobe and lebron), their hot shot bar increases meaning they make more shots in clutch which is extremely impressive. even better, when a player is on fire, their bar goes into RED which means they make every single shot that they shoot which is AWESOME. another pro of this game is that association 2.0 is pretty cool with [...]interface. there's player of the week, and headline news. you now have 4 scouts and there is training camp as well. the cons of this game: the glitches from 2k8 are sitll there.. many missed layups, dunks from the free throw line from everyone...and the association still doesn't let new rookies score over 10 points per game for some reason. Overall if you thought nba 2k8 was fun, u'll love 2k9 because its exactly hte same PLUS even better. for me, i was hoping the glitches were fixed so this game is fun but it could've been a better ending

I had NBA Live 09 and had a chance to try it out before my son wrecked it and I went and bought NBA 2K9. This game has the best gameplay, although it still could be better. I'm not sure anyone will ever master the gameplay of a real life NBA game. I say this because I can still score 100 points in a 5 min length quarter, 20 min game. So the only way to go is to simulate the whole entire season. That is the most fun I have found! Then, play a game every once and a while for kicks with someone else but not the computer. Finally, I wish they had included All-Star Weekend. Still, I would recommend this game over NBA 09 The Inside or NBA Live '09 any day. Can't wait to see what they come out with next. P.S. I'm holding on to my PS2 as long as I can.

I own a ps2 and a ps3 and well i bought this one for my ps2, and its fun, off course the graphics are kind of lame, but its a ps2 and for 20$?? its a big deal to play single matches with your friends...The game its not as real like nba2k8(on ps3) cuz on this one everyone can dunk it on Yao's face lol .......NOt cool: They didnt add 3pt shooting contest, slam-dunk contest, and the one on one match is lame...But if you just want to beat your friends with fantastic dunks (even with the smallest players), fantastic blockings and lots of 3pts achieved..this game is definitely for you

this game makes me feel like i am playing real basketball. the players make all the shots you would think they would make and the street mode ill.

I have NBA Live 08( Hereafter referred to as "08") and decided to get this game instead of Live 09. I am very happy with my choice as I like this game much better than 08. The graphics are way better than 08 but the gameplay is a little bit more complicated. There is Streetball Mode where you pick your team from a slate of different players and play at different places acroos the country, such as Washington D.C., New York, and Albuquerque. Another plus from 08 is there are more legendary decades players such as Dr. J (Julius Erving), Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, and even George Mikan! If you are an NBA aficionado (like myself!) or simply a fan of the game then you will appreciate this game.

Decent video game. Very fun. Graphics are fine and players performance is accurate. I like Harlan commentating.

This is the first time i have gotten nba 2k series.
and im not dissapointed at all. the graphics are ok but they are at least WAY better than nba live. online play is pretty good but my only problem is i cant use the up-to-date roster on quickplay. i can only use em for online. im probably doing something wrong though due to recent addition

I was a big fan of the NBA live series, in fact that's all I played in the past. I decided to try out the 2K series and I have not been disappointed. I can't compare this game to previous installments since this is my first time but so far I'm having a ball. The gameplay is fast and exciting, the players look exactly like their counterparts and the music/sound effects adds to the addictive nature of this game.

On the downside, I can't seem to be able to save a season or the association mode. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. In addition, its way to easy to pull off dunks from anywhere around the post. Attaining baskets and fouls is very easy as well, which shows that this game cators to the offensive oriented. Players miss uncontested layups which just hit the bottom of the iron, that can be quite frustrating. I've yet to figure out how to use the dual player feature, due to my recent induction of the franchise. The manual which comes with the game sucks as well, its useless, I guess 2k sports are catoring only to experienced 2K players.

With all that said, the game is highly addictive and lots of fun especially when playing with frineds. I definitely recommend this one, perhaps the last for the beloved PS2.

It is not much better then the year before, but I have played it on PS3 and it is far better

Great game, I love the game of basketball and this game is just like the real thing...
