Holen Sie die Flatterhosen und das Stirnband aus dem Schrank: Der Basketball kehrt auf den PC zurück! NBA 2K9 punktet mit realistischer Grafik und Atmosphäre und besitzt alle Funktionen der Konsolen-Versionen - bis auf den Online-Modus. Konkurrenzlos gutes Basketballfest. Einsteiger benötigen aber viel Geduld, bis sich Erfolge einstellen.

2K Sports propose sans doute le meilleur NBA 2K depuis les débuts de la série en 2000 sur Dreamcast. Extrêmement complet, il est un condensé de fun et de réalisme qu'aucun amateur de basket ne pourra renier.

Most of NBA 2K9 is awesome, but you’ve really got to want to learn how to play the game and get in-depth with the game. Spend enough time with it and you’ll get the hang of it enough. But, it’s a steep learning curve and those not willing to give the game its due time will get turned off rather quickly. Plus, the computer AI is relentless, they don’t miss shots and they punish you for your foolish mistakes. They won’t just roll over for you because you are who you are. But all in all I found this to be a very deep and thorough game. Fans of the NBA, or basketball in general, who are willing to give the game a little time and effort will be rewarded with one of the best basketball games ever.

EA Sports krijgt concurrentie. Dankzij de grondige afwerking en de ronduit intense matchbeleving is NBA 2K9 voer voor elke sportsim-fan!

IGN
NBA 2K9 is basketball game for the purists out there and has plenty for diehard basketball fans to enjoy. At a price of $19.99 I can almost forgive the absence of multiplayer, especially when you consider how much game there is still is to play. There are tidbits built in to appease casual fans, but there?s no question that with things like Bird Years making their way into this year?s game that 2K9 is made for aficionados. Even still, anyone who has seen a pro game will be able to find the similarities and the finite details that make NBA 2K9 the best game in town.
