Just finished destroying the Pacers in an exhibition game (I played on a lower skill level, just so I can get used to the controls). Carter had 36 points, Harris had 8 points, 10 assists...lopez with 7 rebounds...williams had 6 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks. Seems really fun so far. The AI is a lot better then in previous years
I just got the game and I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problems with the game that I am. The game is fun overall but theirs two problems right now killing me. 1.) When I play with the 2K Camera angel from the time the ball is inbounded till when I get across mid court the game runs rather slow. It kind of chugs along then when I get to mid court it runs smooth. I dont know if its just my game or a problem with the software itself. 2.) I have yet to be able to get online. I dont see any lobbies, so when I attempt a quick match it says can't connect refer to 2k Sports FAQ etc etc. Just wondering if anyone else is having these problems. Overall Id give the game an 8.0
I play with the default camera angle and didn't notice much slowing down. The game did slow down in between quarters when it zoom out to the crowd. I played online on a 5v5 10 human game. I was on D. Williams from the Jazz the entire game. That was really different and immersive. Make sure you're using the 1st player controller with the right gamer tag or you can't log in 2k sports.
haha wow...just played the pistons...Vince Carter injured in the 2nd quarter of diving to try and save a ball..separated shoulder out 3 weeks...end of the 3rd Harris takes a charge from Billups and is injured...bruised sternum can play but isnt expected to be 100% for 1-2 weeks...
Played the game today, its probably the best 2K game out yet. I noticed that slowing down with the camera thing hopefully they get that fixed. If anybody wants to get rocked hit me up on XBL a1rp1n0y12 ( that is when i get my 360 back from repairs.)
i have associations in 2k8 and i usually play 7 min quarters with my brothers... i am the nets, my brothers are the knicks and the suns! anybody else play with 7 mins?
ya the game is suppose to be more SIM... so the gameplay has slowed down... like you can just trap and get an automatic turnover like 2k8... its hard to cheat on defense supposedly... i cant wait, ill update u guys once im done playin ^^
This game is coming in the mail tomorrow! (Thank you Amazon Prime!) What's everyone's gamertag? I've played the demo and loved it, this may be the first time I play in leagues and such on Xbox Live. The 5v5 thing sounds really fun.
You log on 2k sports and you can play a game with 10 human players. You play as one position the entire game. I was playing as Deron Willams. When it's not laggy, it's frantic and fun. I also play 7 or 8 minute quarters in Association to get the numbers close to sim numbers.
Actually they say this years version is faster then usual. But thats not what im talking about, the issue isn't the Sim Like speed. It's like the game for 5 seconds begins to chug, then picks up again once I cross mid court. I found out on other forums its an issue with the game using the 2k camera angle. Hopefully they send out a patch for it or something cause its the only camera I like to use.
Woops I forgot to mention my gamertag: thermodynamic. It would be cool if we could have 5 posters from each team forum compete online against each other in some sort of S2 NBA 2k9 league!
where's ryan anderson, mo ager, and hassel? they weren't on my roster when I was trying to make subs...
?? they are all in the game...i do know that hassell and ager are on the reserve list though;. o and my GT is Cage Epidemic (xbox 360)
OMG, I played this game all night last night. I agree, there is a lag with the 2k camera that's not just before you cross midcourt, it happens a little bit throughout the game. The graphics, however, are amazing, and the controls are very in depth. I'm still trying to get a handle on posting up because you can do almost every post move ever besides Kareem's sky hook. So far, for me, Yi has been a terrific low post scorer from the block but cannot shoot, which I think is a little unrealistic and insanely frustrating. Also, the nets have so many mid-70s players that I don't know how to get everyone into the game. Also, in my association, I traded Swift, Ager, and Hassell for Darko and Javaris Crittenton but that's just to get less players on my roster and so I can trade both of them, haha.
