online can be fixed so that can be an exeption, everything good about this game outweighs the bad tremendously, a 9 is a good score but a high 8 wouldve been better.

To give you a view into the review process, Richard started writing this review a few days ago and battled between an 8.5 and 9.0 for a few days before going with the one. I think that shows that scores are once again a pain, but that's a whole other story.

This game in its current state is an 8 at best.

That said, it has the potential to become a 9 if they fix the online issues (lag, server instability, ranked difficulty level, etc.) and missing features (flex schedule, 2K Cam).

Until then, I don't see any reason to rate the game highly based on its potential when the online portion of the game is bordering on unplayable.

I just don't get the huge gap in this game and NBA Live. Sure 2K is better gameplay wise and has more belles and whistles. But Live is superior to 2K online by such a wide margin it's sick. With the number of people who play strictly online, I think this should weigh heavily on the score.

Maybe in the future breaking the reviews into different parts and scoring those individually might be best. It would be helpful for me since there are some games I'd only buy for online play. It seems the 9 vs 7.5 is strictly for offline with no regard for online play factored in at all.

Everything can be fixed, but a review should be based on what is there at the time. I'd prefer to have that and updates as patches/changes are made.

Re: NBA 2K9 Review

1.fix the servers for online and make it hall of fame because offline i have no problem with defending the 3 unless its against the cpu

2.Fix the inside game my boy uses the lakers and i cannot stop gasol or bynum or anyone for that matter in the paint

3.Blocks need to be toned down on jumpshots lets be serious jumpers dont get blocked like they do on 2k9 they did a wonderful job on making people miss badly including airballs on contested jumpers they dont need to be blocked all the time

4. Steals need to be toned down especially on inbounds

other than that stuff i agree lol

This game is a 10 with the right rosters.

You get into issues either way, reviews are what they are. I try not to do many personally because I don't like them and people take them way too seriously. At the end of the day it's just an opinion, like most other feature articles on here, but attach a score and people go nuts.
