^^^ surprising. i'd be extra pissed had i payed a service fee. makes me feel better tho lol

 

[VanD]

the servers were working kinda tonight, i signed on and saw L-A-X was number 1 in the world right now. 80 something wins and like 12 losses. couldnt get any games to work and got updated roster with ellis on IR

i got a better chance of beating The Game on 2k9 than madden

Mr Peete why is Brandon Roy not on the All Star team??!?!!!?!?!?! You guys are evil, evil people. First 2k5 has a half '85 - half '92 throwback for the blazers, now there's no Roy on the AS team!! You guys are lucky Live sucks!!! lol

play the real game. its WAY better than the demo. another thing you should do is learn the control scheme. Especially if you're used to Live its gonna take an adjustment period, but once you know how to play, its ridiculous the amount of control you have and the level of realism. It also helps to have an understanding of basketball to play it. Run some pick n rolls (call for a pick with circle or whatever the equivalent is on 360). The hardest thing for me to learn was the isomotion ball control, but then I've never used it all that well, but the step back dribble damn near guarantees a made shot if you execute it right. The only thing better about Live is the presentation and commentators, but the actual gameplay is unquestionably the best basketball game out there.

I just started doing the tutorial last night. I found you can shoot off the glass when you want! So much control. The game just got that much rawer.

u nailed it. the only reason someone would rather play Live is cuz its "easier." 2k9 is FRUSTRATING AS FUCK, but when u start to figure it out, its amazing how much work they appear to have put into it, to make it real. you can ball outta control with the weakest players.

THIS GAME IS A PIECE OF SHIT, IM PLAYIN THE LAKERS IN THE PLAYOFFS IBEAT THEM AND WHEN I EXIT THE GAME IT SAYS IVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE PLAYOFFS , NOT ONLY DO THE REFS GOTTA CHEAT FOR THE LAKERS IN REAL LIFE NBA 2k HAS TO AS WELL, FUCK THIS GAME

 

[XxtraMannish]

anybody ever tried online? how is it? is it as laggy as 2k8? i always be missing shots cuz the shooting motion is a little off.

Yeah, but I also noticed every other game I've played online is like that. So I just said fuck online gaming all together. That bullshit sucks.

 

[MCKadafi]

I do play online, shit is sick. When I first played I was like rank 2000 something ... then I started a game against some rank 113 player and I had a 13 point lead all the sudden the connection broke ... I was so pissed!

Only thing is when you start a official ranking game sometimes it takes 3 - 4 times to connect before it goes through.

 

[MIIthasav]

I haven't played online because I've heard that lag and drops take away from the fun. I'm so used to playing offline.

I dont know if its just PSN that like that or if its univeral for online games, but for me, online ruins the gameplay.

2k8 wasn't so bad online just gotta play more local players so lag won't be a factor. Fuck the quick play bullshit probably be playing people overseas.

 

[MOREBASS]

Does anyone know how to invite friends to a game on this for xbox live?

well how do you play local people when there's no lobbies or nothin?

 

[DubbC415]

I still dont get how anybody could get enough games to compete in their week-by-week contest. It takes me a half hour before i get any games. And yeah, i dont understand why there are no lobbies.
