NBA 2K9 Impressions (PC)

Re: NBA 2K9 Impressions (PC)

Sure it can be. Having static clothes this generations is a total kick in the pants. It totally takes away from the graphics.

Do you have the settings on Ultra High? That is the setting you're supposed to put it at to see the movement. I have it on Ultra High and jerseys move, although I guess I'm not sure of what the specifics you're talking about. But I do see them move.

And either way, I mean a "major" letdown? Really? With how unbelievable the game looks already? It can't be that big of a deal...but like I said on Ultra High I see them move.

Is the PC version different in any way compared to the XBOX 360 version? I doubt it would be but I figured I'd ask.

Re: NBA 2K9 Impressions (PC)

It's definitely not a game to try and run at the minimums. It'll be interesting to see if it can be modded and if so to what extent.

Re: NBA 2K9 Impressions (PC)

So we should be able to find this in stores today fairly easily? I checked Gamestop's website and it said every store in my area has it in stock. I'll have to take a trip on my lunch break today.

If you have a system that can support it, the game looks ridiculously crisp at 1920x1200.

I can't wait to get my hands on this game. Still waiting for my pre order to come in. Hopefully it's in today. From the sounds of it, this looks to be a great game. I hope 2K continues this trend and releases more of their sports games on this platform.

You act like we had a long drawn out discussion about it. I asked, he answered. Why are you crying? Damn

Does ridiculously crisp mean it looks better than the XBOX 360 version(as in the blur/low res complaints that so many of us have had)? I am playing in 1080i on 44 inch HDMI monitor with the 360 version. My CPU can run this game at max resolution, and I have a 24 inch 1080p monitor. Would you say that all things being equal the PC version looks better? I would like to get this game on the PC as well, mainly for the modding possibilities, but see no reason to get it at the moment considering there is no modding community for this game as of yet, and we don't know how "modder freindly" this game will be.

Re: NBA 2K9 Impressions (PC)

The game looks great. Crispness has been very desired for me after the console versions and the PC version gives you that. Controls are just like the console if you have a gamepad, which I do have the 360 pad. The menus are laggy like the framerate is very low, but that doesn't affect the control with the pad, just when you try to change things with the mouse.

I've noticed a couple of graphical glitches on my created players face, looked like he had a disease, the colors were all messed up and extra light. Another glitch was all the players clothes got messed up and they were running around with like scraps hanging off them.

The game runs good, but for some reason if I have the player details above low, I get some very slight skippiness. I can have all other options maxed, but the player details. I've also tried lowering everything else but have player details even on medium and the skippiness is still there. It's not a framerate issue, but just more the skippiness. I can't explain it. On low details for the players, the game runs flawless. Strange.

Worthy buy for $20 though.

Re: NBA 2K9 Impressions (PC)

Doesn't map my xbox360 buttons automatically and when you bring the icon passing up it doesn't say 'X' or 'A' but 'B1' which is/will be confusing, should have been more xbox controller friendly like the games for windows. There is stuttering in one or two menus, unfortunately for me the controller menu stutters so much I am unable to map my controls, the main menu stutters as well this is clearly a bug and someone said it will be fixed via steam.

Game itself looks like the xbox360 version a bit better, I have my pc connected to a plasma tv so I can compare both versions on the same tv but frankly didn't compare them in detail as of yet, I was busy looking for other things. The game is amazingly well optimized on the highest setting, very fluid and crisp, much better then top spin 2 that one was lagging on the pc, didn't shoot any free throws so I don't know if it lags on the first one like the console version. Plays like the console version, all the features seem to be in there except the online of course.

Found these files in the 'appdata' section Game Sliders.SLD, Roster.ROS, Player.USR, Settings.STG, Config.cfg, in the main folder you can find files like loading_movies.cdf,paplayers.bin,jukeboxmusic.bin, players.bin so I would say it's modable, with the right tools to open them which will come, there is even a onlineavatars.cdf which is funny because there is no online

I noticed this "jittering" once I turned vsync off. Even though the game is running at 80-90FPS it still skips around so I don't know why.
