 Not what I expected from 2K9 October 11, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
The game freezes when I try to play a ranked online game on the PS3 and when I am able to connect, i will get disconnected in the middle of the game. There is also alot of blurs in the background when you're running the break on online games. Also I can't believe it doesn't have LOBBIES, how are you suppose to play against a friend. This is truly unacceptable for a 2K Sports franchise. If 2K doesn't come out with a update to fix these problems, I will be forced to look at LIVE 08 for this year and in the future.
But the games does have some good areas, like the graphics are excellent. I've noticed in the game if you leave anyone open for like a 15 footer, he will make it almost all the time. Even for a big man like Bynum or Olden, when did they become outside shooters. This game is more realistic, you don't see guys running the fast break and doing a 360 tomahawk dunk over someone like 2K8. To me I gave this game a 2 Star, but without problems like freezes and LOBBIES, I woulda given it a 4 Star.
