Yet Another Text Preview...PSX NBA 2K9 Preview

They use the usual 2K9 v. Live 09 intro

Over the past few years, many critics will argue that EA’s NBA Live franchise has taken a backseat in terms of quality to 2K’s NBA 2K series. Visual Concepts and 2K Sports has worked every year to make the simulated basketball experience more authentic and robust, and based on what we’ve seen and heard concerning this year’s entry, NBA 2K9 will continue that trend. For many fans of the sport, it’s all about control and customization when it comes to virtual recreations, and that’s exactly what 2K strives to deliver each and every year. Of course, EA isn’t about to resign themselves to second place as NBA Live 09 is also shaping up quite nicely, but right now, we’d have to say that 2K9 has the edge. For those of you who want a more arcade-style b-ball game, you may want to look elsewhere; both of these franchises mentioned here always claim to be simulators. However, as a side note, you may want to watch EA; they already have Facebreaker and Backbreaker as part of their more casual-oriented sports lineup. Perhaps a basketball game will show up, too.

It seemed all over the place, especially at the end of each paragraph, but read it anyway.

NBA 2K9 Preview (PSX Extreme)

PSX Extreme has posted their preview of NBA 2K9.

Quote:
"But of course, in this day and age, one needs healthy online play to keep the modern-day sports fan interested for long periods of time. And here’s where 2K takes yet another step forward, as they will introduce true five-on-five online play for the very first time. Yes, that’s right; every one of the ten players on court could be controlled by ten individual human players, which is an unassailably cool option. Many may be wondering if there will be enough to do on court when you don’t have the ball, but in true simulator fashion, every player should always have a job. Whether you’re boxing out, setting a screen or pick, or simply applying pressure defense on an opposing ball-handler, you’ll never be out of the action. And besides, as Team USA learned the hard way at the Olympics in Athens in 2004 (and are now a lot better off in Beijing, thanks to that lesson), team play is essential. The better you gel with your teammates on the floor, the higher your Team 2K rating will go. Remember, young’uns, high-flying dunks don’t always translate to victory."

I see they mentioned Backbreaker in there. Anyone looking forward to that game. I guess EA just bought Natural Motion.
