So, I start playing NBA 2K9 and i was very impressed. The fast breaks were finnally changed and there were way fewer missed layups than 2K8. Then i start an association. It was going great. my team Terrible ( I traded Vince Carter away from the nets for a second round pick.) I was going to rebuild the nets :-D. i try and go to my calendar to see my upcoming games... (Here is where everything went horribly wrong) They got rid of the calendar!?!?! now you have to go through the season week by week game by game. I spent about 15 minutes trying to find out if i could get it back. Nope not there. Whatever i could deal but i was'nt going to be happy with it. I decide why not play online? A few reasons I should'nt have. The camera angles? you can't pick a regular 2K angle online? you have to play from a side view or a helicopter view. Also navigating online is tough. The gameplay online is laggy no matter what conection you have. I gave it a 7.5 only because the normal offline gameplay features were good.
