NBA 2K9 Confirmed For PC

Re: NBA 2K9 Confirmed For PC

Added to the pc version:

* Does not support any online functionality, including but not limited to online games, 2K Share, ReelMaker or Living Rosters

** Internet access required to install and authenticate the game.


So does this mean that mulitplayer is limited or that there isn't one at all?

It's hard to figure out how that reads because it could just mean they don't have their own built-in servers, or whatever, but there could still be direct IP play for online games. And I really don't care about the other 3 things (share, reel, rosters) as those are just novelty things and besides the community will more than take of rosters.

So it's hard to tell. As someone who really doesn't play online much at all I really don't care, but I guess we'll just have to see once it's released.

Boo to no 2k share or living rosters. How can you say the community will take care of the rosters when there is no community? It's the first year of 2k on the PC, no one knows how or if you'll be able to easily pass along rosters without 2K Share/Player DNA. Guess I'm ordering the 360 version again.

Re: NBA 2K9 Confirmed For PC

Actually, that would be sweet. You know, the legal way of downloading it just like EA did with Live PC a couple of years ago. This would save me the hassle of getting it from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

If you don't think there will be a community for this to download updated rosters, jerseys, etc, then you obviously don't know enough about PC gaming in the first place. Be offended/pissed off by that remark all you want but it really isn't hard to figure out that there will be downloads for this game.

Just get the 360 version and be happy with that then. I have no doubts of what I'll be getting.

I read that as it doesn't have any online functionality at all. That could actually be their justification for the $20 price tag on a 360 port since there are plenty of people who consider online multiplayer to be half of the game.

Wrong remarks don't offend me. Point is there is no community and there will only be a community for updated things if the game is open enough for editing, and you don't know that it will be. It's been said in this thread already, but there's kind of a big difference between the situation with Live on PC and 2k9. Again I'm not saying there won't be, but you're wrong if you think it's an automatic go.

You build it, they will come. I can guarantee there will be a strong 2k pc community. look at the 2 PC threads already. People want this game.

Madden PC is pretty much a close game (unmodable) and there is still a community at Football Freaks. Not sure why people are getting upset or offended, this is a win-win for everyone. Even better if the code is open for us to mod to heart's desire.

I see NZA, replying to this thread. That dude will figure something out! Not to mention the nba live pc community will blow this game up. I just hope 2k is secure and cool enough to let us mod. The EA Sports team made it easier for us to mod there games, they welcomed the creativity.

Re: NBA 2K9 Confirmed For PC

When I say "community", I'm talking about a modding community. How is there a modding community if the game is unmoddable (in regard to Madden)? If you're just talking about a regular community like the main board at OS then yeah but that wasn't what I was questioning.

Regardless, there will be a PC community of some capactiy. Bigger if modding is available. I got to say, if you are a creative mind and are somewhat decent at photoshop. Graphic modding is like crack. I spent a many of hours modding the Live series. Everything from putting my friends real face and in game photos in the game in my dynasty to making throwback jerseys no one has ever heard of like the Memphis Tams! ( a real team BTW)I won't even bring up the shoe whore modders or the jersey whore patchers. Good times and a great release of creativity and stress for me during College. I know I'm a nerd.



that's me, a forum buddy, and 2 of my friends all patched for live 04 for my dynasty. LOL!

I don't need online I will probably get both the 360 and the pc.

But I do hope the other gameplay features are in there, I don't see this in the pc description: Shot Stick Advanced - The revolutionary Shot Stick control system takes it one step further, allowing you to change your shots in mid-air.

Everyone has a gamepad these days, if not you can buy a ps2 copy (forgot the name of the manufacturer) for less than 10$ it even has rumble.
