Thankfully that won’t happen this year as the lockdown defense has been tweaked nicely with an ability based mechanism that even allows you to shade a player to the left or right. One of the biggest complaints with 2K8 was the lock on defense was too easy to pull off and guys like Shaq could shadow guys like Steve Nash too easily on the perimeter. Gone are the days of Kobe or Lebron making a nice isolation drive, easily getting to the basket only to miss a lay-up that I could probably make … this year those are going down. The biggest fix was finally allowing NBA stars to hit easy lay-ups and close range shots that they would blatantly miss in last year’s game. Thus, it was a pleasant surprise that within minutes of loading up NBA 2K9, it was easy to notice that the simple flaws that broke down 2K8 were completely fixed in 2K9. NBA 2K9: Clearly one of the biggest concerns of the developers of NBA 2K9 was to actually IMPROVE the gameplay flaws from their previous version. So has EA Sports closed the gap between the two versions? Or does 2K Sports continue to dominate the basketball gaming landscape? Find out now!

However, since the move into the next generation with XBOX 360 and the PS3, the market has been controlled by the NBA 2K series, which has brought a pure, fundamental-based simulation style of basketball.

It seems David Stern and his crew actually got it right on this one (unlike say the NBA’s fashion issues), and the result has been some fierce completion between 2K Sports’ NBA 2K series and EA Sports’ NBA Live series, each bringing some unique aspects of the game of basketball to fans. All in all, this is a great simulation basketball game with a few kinks that ultimately won't effect a great experience.Which basketball game reigns supreme on the hardwood this year?While the NFL and MLB have been busy selling their exclusive rights in video game development to EA Sports and 2K Sports, respectively, the National Basketball Association has decided to go with a different game plan and let any video game developer produce NBA games. The three point shoot out, while simplified with just the player worrying about the shooting, is a little too simple once the timing is down. The blacktop modes could have been left out, but the best portions would have to be the dunk contest and 21. The online needs a little work in the lobby department, but after the game is connected, it is a smooth experience. The detail on the characters is well done although a few player models are off. Anything less will not do the graphics justice. The game should only be played in 1080 or 720 resolution. The play calling is responsive and the ball handling is good as well. The amount of depth that this game shows in the Association mode is crazy. The This is definitely a game for the major basketball fanatic. This is definitely a game for the major basketball fanatic.
