NBA 2K9
NBA 2K9, développé par Visual Concepts et édité par 2K Sports et Take-Two Interactive, est sorti le 7 octobre 2008 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PC. Ce jeu de simulation sportive propose des textures faciales et cutanées améliorées, de meilleurs maillots, des mouvements oculaires plus précis et des réactions de foule plus réalistes. L'équipe de commentateurs réunit l'analyste Clark Kellogg, la journaliste de bord de terrain Cheryl Miller et le commentateur Kevin Harlan, tandis que chaque quart-temps se conclut par des ralentis multiples et que de nouvelles séquences de célébration suivent la conquête du titre NBA.
Le titre a reçu une note moyenne de 77,12. La presse a salué certains aspects, comme 1UP qui a mis en avant le mode Total Team Control permettant de jouer en ligne à dix pour du 5-contre-5, ou MEGamers qui a qualifié le jeu de très réussi et rentable. En revanche, certains joueurs sur Metacritic regrettent un système de rebonds défaillant et un manque d'émotion chez les joueurs, tout en jugeant l'expérience globalement divertissante.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The game shines particularly bright in the Total Team Control mode, which allows you to hook up online with nine other players for 5-on-5 basketball. This mode simulates the experience of playing an actual game of basketball more closely than any videogame I've played. »
« A wonderfully done basketball game by 2K Sports that is worth all the money and time you will invest in it. »
« 2K seems very comfortable with their winning formula - they've got a game that plays and looks great that improves a little each year. They've succeeded in adding wrinkles that do what should be the #1 goal of anyone who makes sports games: They stay out of the way. »
« NBA 2K9 is the closest thing yet we’ve seen to a total hoops package. Other than a few minor quibbles – the visuals get choppy during the cutscenes between play and the Blacktop mode is a throwaway collection of uninteresting minigames – we’re utterly delighted with 2K’s latest ode to the hardwood. »
« This game delivers where it needs to, offering the most realistic NBA experience to date. Heck, even free-throw shooting means memorizing the shooting styles of different NBA players (a feature we really like, by the way). »
« Everything about NBA 2K9 blows NBA Live 09 out of the water. If you're a basketball fan, NBA 2K9 is the game to get this season. »
« NBA 2K9 achieves another success offering a title that justifies its new purchase. Essential for basket fans, it's again the finest virtual representation of that sport. »
« NBA 2K9 is an amazing title that is just a little spit and polish away from perfection. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This game was ruined by a terrible rebounding system. I would see short point guards rebound the ball against tall rebounding ball hawks. KG would jump up for it and somehow won't even touch it while Derrick Rose or Tony Parker would come down with it. The rebounding on NBA 2K9 was a horror flick. »
« Playing this game is fun and will keep you busy throughout the NBA season and beyond. Lack of player emotion is puzzling like the gameplay sometimes. It seems as though 2K is losing its lead over NBA Live and needs to come up with fixed online servers and deliver their promise of up-to-the-minute roster updates. Once again the menus are frustrating but players will eventually get used to them. A decent pick-up if you love the NBA and want to play through a season as it's happening. You won »
« I just had to write this review,seeing I'm years late but I'm a true basketball believer.First off 2K's game just gets better and better every year.Ever since the very first Nba 2k on the Dreamcast.There really has never been a year where there was a problem or something was **** 2k12 is out right now and the game is flawless in every way and every detail.There is one thing that stumps me **** your NBA 2k12 and then put your NBA 2k9 and look,NBA 2k9 looks amazing in all the word!As an overall picture on a HD TV running at least 1080i,the game looks better then any year and I went year by year,game by game because I thought maybe something was wrong with me but it is **** the player models are way **** what I did and just look at the game.I actually was playing the game and two friends came into my home and could of swore that the game was on TV.I look back now and also realize that 2K was in a league of there own and NBA live never even compared because they were not even on the same playing ground as 2K,and later look what happened to EA,they dropped out of the race since **** once you see what I see than just kick back with your NBA 2K12 and just love the fact that your NBA 2K9 was perfect in 2008, and play it here and there it is well worth the cheap asking price that you can get it for **** the game had updated rosters and the my player mode it actually would be perfect but that would also mean that 2K sports wouldn't make anymore money on basketball games. 9.9 »
