Summary: 5 Stars
NBA 2K9 on the PC is the best game ever. Before I had NBA Live 08 for the PC and I thought that it was pretty good. However, after playing this game Live 08 is average.
This game has the great graphics since it is a Xbox 360 port, so it has the next-gen graphics! In addition, it has the features that the 360 version has like substituting on the fly, calling plays and team strategies. This game has pretty good commentary. The game has a realistic atmosphere.
There are many different modes such as a season, playoffs, slam dunk contest, 3pt. shootout, 21, pickup games, and a practice mode, where you can practice the different offensive plays which tell you where to move your controlled player.
There is even a free throw practice mode--something I wish NBA Live 08 had.
The Shot Stick is a very fun way to shoot since it can perform many different types of shots, layups and dunks based on the direction you put the Right Analog Stick. This increases the number of shots you can perform since each direction has a different move. With a shot stick, you have more control over the type of shot you would like.
I am really liking the automatic substitutions of NBA 2K9, since you can have them based upon the players' fatigue or the team's rotation. One aspect that makes it good is that it recognizes players' secondary positions and substitutes based upon them.
For instance, I use the Phoenix Suns & when Shaquille O'Neal is subbed out, it recognizes that Amar'e Stoudemire can play at center, so it slides him over, and inserts Matt Barnes at PF.
In Live 08, it would put Robin Lopez at center. This is where the rotations are important, since Lopez isn't a big part of my team's rotation.
2K Sports did the right thing putting out this game on the PC since ea sports decided not to make its game on the PC.
I highly recommend this game and at $20.00, you cannot go wrong! Buy it so that NBA 2K will continue to come out on the PC in future years.
