    NBA 2K9 Quick Hitter Impressions

    Check out the "Quick Hitter" impressions we've posted on NBA 2K9.

    "I'm going to quickly run down a few things that I have noticed while playing the game.

    When players get tied up with the ball, there are a couple of things that can happen. You either get a jump ball or you rip it out and continue the play before a jump ball is called. Also, when doubles approach, players with a high skill level can split it, my jaw dropped on more than a few occasions when T.J. Ford was killing me.

    On driving layups, taking it strong to the hole, some players can cover the ball and it looks fantastic, sometimes they'll fall to the ground after a foul or non call, looks great."

        Enjoy the rest of your weekend sir... and thanks for claryifying that, so guys won't start asking. Its the best writeup i've seen so far.

        The fans react realistically, but there are still odd times where the audio just drops out, instead of fading.


        Noticed this in one of those old videos from one of the foreign sites. I hope they fixed this. It happened in 2k8 too

                Great review. The game sounds really good!

                Any chance of knowing yet if they can import choop rosters in association?

                  Thanks Steve... Like I said, everytime I go back to the site you've done something new man... Much appreciated considering I dont know WHEN the game will get to our country.

                  [
                  In the player matchups, you can stick Bowen on Kobe, if you want to, so putting the best defender on the best offensive player is something a lot of people will like.
                  ]

                  Now this is the defensive matchup thing DC is talking about, I know he is going to be happy. I am already!

                      This was in 2k8 last year. What DC is talking about is the fact that College Hoops had Primary and Secondary defenders for instances Bowen isn't in the game.

                            Great stuff, Steve, much appreciated. Hopefully a few things are more clear for people viewing vids, like framerate and such.
