Though I’ll defend my scepticism, I’ll gladly admit to being completely wrong on that occasion. It just seemed too good to be true, considering how the developers at 2K supposedly didn’t think much of the idea.
NBA 2K9 PS3 PC
As such, when reports of NBA 2K9 coming to PC first surfaced, many of us were sceptical, myself included. Dishearteningly, someone who had asked about the possibility reported that not only was it unlikely, but that the developers had actually laughed at the suggestion. Even before NBA Live’s major decline and eventual departure from PC, our community had interest in seeing a PC port for NBA 2K.
NBA 2K9 PS3 SERIES
With that nostalgic and self-indulgent metaphor out of the way, let’s take a look back…way back…įor those who are newer to the NBA 2K series on PC or are otherwise unaware, NBA 2K9 was the first title in the series to be released on the platform. Yes, I’m going on a very long journey for an analogy you might say, almost as far as Guybrush Threepwood travelled by rowboat around the titular location in The Secret of Monkey Island! The point is that you never want to get stuck without a required key, and unfortunately, that’s what happened to a lot of gamers who picked up the PC version of NBA 2K9. If you forgot to pick up a key very early on in the game, you might find that it’s unobtainable much later on, resulting in an unwinnable state. While LucasArts adopted the stance of avoiding game over situations (and thereby encouraging gamers to freely experiment), Sierra’s games could be brutal in the way they punished you for trying the wrong thing or missing a detail. Those two companies took a very different approach to the genre. Hopefully, I’m not the only person around these parts with an appreciation for old school adventure games from Sierra and LucasArts. This week, I’m taking a look back at the issue with missing keys in NBA 2K9 PC. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. All in all, this is a great simulation basketball game with a few kinks that ultimately won't effect a great experience.This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. 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.
