Ever since knowing EA Sports will not be releasing NBA Live 2009 on PC platform, I thought I wouldnt be able to play NBA on my PC for a year or plus.

Then again, 2K Sports decided to release NBA 2K9 for PC platform!

For years, NBA 2K series have yet to release their game for PC platform due to the excess piracy issues for PC. Just when EA Sports pull the game away from PC platform, here comes NBA 2K! I have always been playing EA's NBA Live series and never try out 2K series yet but the rating and comments are always toward 2K's version for many many years!

It's once again time to drive the lane with this 2008 edition of 2K Sports' b-ball game. NBA 2K9 is the premier basketball game for serious players, delivering a realistic, stylistic, and feature-rich simulation basketball experience. This year's edition features an improved Association franchise mode, adding a Player Ambitions system and an NBA.com interface. Individual players also have special Hot Zones and Signature Shots, making the action on the floor as realistic as it is in the NBA.

General Features

• 2K HD – Breathtaking action in full HD resolution brings you radically improved facial textures and eye movement, true-to-life crowd reactions and celebration sequences, and much more.
• Styles Upon Styles – New Signature Defensive Styles and more Signature Shots, dunks and free throws give you EVEN MORE distinctive player styles.
• Adaptive AI – Now your teammates and your opponents read,react, and adjust in real time to match your gameplay strategies.
• The Association 2.0 - All-new NBA.com interface, Player Ambitions, Player Scouting, and more options for the casual player make this the most robust Franchise mode ever
