Why didn't you go with 360? or is that because there wasn't a 360 one available?

Depends on what you do. You can practice one on one... two on two...

Im not 100% sure, but I think you can Sub people in-n-out in practice this time. They change up the whole thing, you can run plays, do all that ****.

Anyway, you might want to get that info about subs confirmed from somebody else...

Correct.

The 360 version is more colorful

Not interested in my machine breaking down on my like last year. Plus it was only copy we had.

Guys.. big men can hit the mid-range if they're ratings allow it MUCH better this year.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

is it more easier to shoot 3's on the sides of the court by the corners?? like sometimes when i ran over to the corner my guy would go outta bounds.

"The post is PHENOMENAL!"

Thanks! Thats ALL I needed to here!

I have another issue though, I own both PS3 and 360(and Wii, but who cares?) and I need to know which version to get. Do you think you can try your best to post videos of the PS3 version being played whenever you get your hands on a camera or whatever you can use? I been wanting the PS3 copy the whole way because I currently DO NOT have XBL Gold(I have silver, too cheap to pay $50) so I wont be able to use the "Living Roster" Feature considering that I have to buy the whole 12 months basically to run through the whole of the NBA season. So should I just roll with the PS3 version? Its not TOO much of a difference is it? And does the PS3 2K9 have the same look/feel as the PS3 2K8, cause I played that one and actually kinda like the look better on the PS3 than 360.

Side Note: I actually rented the PS3 one for about 2 weeks when my 360 got the RRoD...

So basically, with my situation, would it be best to go with the PS3 one?

Thanks a ton!

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Quick hits:

-Nash's sig layup is sick. He pulls it after he beats his man. The CPU does it as well.

-Shaq is posting up cleaning up the boards.

-LeBron is a beast. Very tough to stop. Any skilled player with him can do serious damage.

-Easy passes are stolen now by the CPU on the perimeter.

-Players still don't box out well enough after a FT.

-Timeouts give you a full minute or 20 seconds

-You can pick from shot selection, rebounding, ball control or defense to focus on during a timeout. It says 2 available and I think that's how many you get per half.

-Blocks seem plentiful in the paint. Seems like it was done to combat those who pound it inside.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

I got a quick question... How are the CELTICS!!!

What's Rondo's rating? NBA Live shafted him.

**dragonsruleme** · 09-28-2008, 05:43 PM

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

In 2K8, if you were blowing out the computer by 25 with 2 minutes to go, they would keep using a full court press right until the end of the game. Do they still use a fullcourt press when it is not needed in that situation?

He said NO RATINGS Questions... there are the Ratings of every player on this website. Its under screenshots, its around page 20 or something, there in 'ABC' order.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Here's an example of the CPU play:

Mo Will started playing a 2 man game on the right side of the court with Ben Wallace. He fed the ball in and out twice before Wallace passed it to the top of the key to Pavlovic coming off a screen. Pavlovic sized me up using the triple threat. Meanwhile, Mo Will brought his man down, received a screen from Wallace and popped out back the 3 pointer for the open shot. (CORRECTION: He was on the line. It was a 2)

Swish.

Fantastic basketball play running by the CPU.

I never had that problem last year so I don't see a problem with it this year...

If you're a stickler, it may bother you. I can't do a side by side comparison but I just remember the 360 being smoother and more colorful (read: saturated).

I'm certainly enjoying the PS3 version though.

Trying to front the post but I can't seem to do it. Seems automatic on D. On O, you have lots of options available to you.

Haven't had a situations like that yet.

They're much tougher so far and I'm still adjusting.

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Okay so now that big men have mid range do the big men that shoot the three go outside? And do the big men that should'nt be shooting the 3 not shoot it?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Man reading all these impressions is building my hype through the roof. The seventh can't come soon enough.

Pared have you checked out the slam dunk contest yet?

Re: Ask me anything about NBA 2k9

Can we add players to the legends teams, or add legends to regular teams?

How effective are the leaners and off the dribble shots? Are players like Kobe noticeably better at them?
