NBA 2K9: Tips to Improve Your Offensive Game

[RaychelSnr]

Last time, I gave you guys some defensive tips. However, in the game of basketball, it doesn’t matter how good your D is if you can’t put the ball in the hole. Here are a few tips to make sure your offensive game is top notch too.

Know Your Players

It is imperative to learn the rosters if you plan on having any type of success in this game. Those who watch the NBA on the regular should not need much time to adjust. If you are a casual NBA fan, well then, luckily the game has ratings and tendencies. And you need this knowledge, because if a casual NBA fan sees a "3" icon next to a player like Jason Kapono, he or she may shoot every type of 3-pointer with Kapono, which would not be good; the shoot off the dribble slider ensures that Kapono will not score like he is Kobe (unless your defense is EXTREMELY awful).

The point is, play to your player's strengths. If he cannot shoot, make sure you get to the basket. If he has no handles, don’t abuse the crossover dribbles because the ball will get ripped.

How about bringing back the 2k Camera to make the game playable online.

Most teams wish they could both run plays and run and gun like the Jazz, not sure what the comment meant but it sounded a bit snarky

I think he was referring to Sloan's style of coaching. As long as I've been watching NBA ball, when I've seen the Jazz, they've always run set plays. (I don't think he was trying to be snarky.)

So I'm a troll for wanting the camera in there on day one. Ok Fan boy. I have a game to sell you for 59.00 that will be released with out the camera that makes the game virtually unplayable online for two months. Hey idiot. I only play online. So this game has sat in it's case for two months. I'm still playing 2k8 online just to get my basketball fix. There are other things i would rather do with my money than lend it to 2k for two months. I'm glad your laughing because 2k has been laughing at all of us suckers who ran out and brought a broke game. With people like you the gaming industry will continue to rip us off. After this I will never buy a game on the day it's released. When more of us do that they will learn to release a game that actually works and is worth the money they charge. Either you are a 12 or just a complete idiot. Only you know the answer.

I see you became a friend of Steve. Dickeater.

Depends on which roster set you are using. Defaultly 2K doesn't know much about players skills outside of the superstars (and those are inflated)
