The last remaining great sports title

User Rating: 9 | NBA 2K9 X360
Madden is cool, but enough already EA. 2K no longer makes college hoops another great series. They've completely lost it with their baseball title. Same with football. 2k used to be the king in all these series. All we have left is nba 2k9. This just shows what a developer can do. 2K created a living breathing basketball game here. Its so authentic and so true to life you'll swear you are playing the real thing. But this game isnt without its flaws. It seems rushed and like 2k didnt have the time or resources to iron out a lot of its issues. Its thrown together in areas. The framerates are pretty bad sometimes and certain camera angles can't seem to handle the amazing graphics. Online is laggy and disconnects. The ocntrol can be hard to get used to. But its all there. With the bad this game is a classic. The player models and signature animations push the 360's hardware to its limits. Its truly something to behold. The ai is so smart and there are so many little things this game does that will amaze you. Some games you dont even notice these things aren't in the game, but if its in the game, it's in this game. Tons of playmodes, and practice modes and online and franchise modes. The control is hard to get used to but there are so many things you can do. It's all here. IT all feels great once you get used to it. 2k put out an ambitious basketball game. Hopefully they will patch it and correct some of the technical flaws.
