October 7, 2008 – 2K Sports today announced NBA 2K9 will be available for the first time on Windows PC on October 21. The NBA 2K franchise is now poised to reach even more fans on a global scale with this addition to the already anticipated console versions of NBA 2K9.

“We are excited about the growing popularity of basketball and are eager to get NBA 2K9 in the hands of PC fans,” said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development at 2K. “The PC version will please even the most dedicated basketball fans with the same level of quality simulation we’ve become known for in the console versions of the NBA 2K franchise.”

NBA 2K9 is the latest edition of NBA 2K, the #1 selling current gen basketball video game* that has also been the #1 rated NBA simulation for seven years in a row**, is back for its 10th season. NBA 2K9 is the premier basketball game for serious players, and will deliver the most realistic and feature-rich simulation experience ever available in the NBA 2K franchise – from gameplay and graphics to presentation and online features. Fans will also be able to enjoy the most up-to-date basketball experience ever available in the NBA 2K franchise through Living Rosters with constant updates to player ratings and player tendencies, along with access to exclusive unlockable animation packages for players in the game. If it happens during the regular NBA season, it will happen in NBA 2K9.

NBA 2K9 is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and now available for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems. For more information about NBA 2K9, please visit http://www.2ksports.com/games/nba2k9.

i hope the pc version doesn't exclude some of the cool features that the nextgen consoles have. i want eye candy. i can do without online. i hope the pc version will look as good and play as smooth as the 360 version. i hope 2k sports won't disappoint us pc gamers who have the hardwares to run the game without sweats.

The Living Rosters are available but :

ONLINE FEATURES

NBA 2K Online Features - 2K Sports' industry leading online service gets all-new features like 5-on-5 Multiplayer mode with Total Team Control and a new ranking system--from Bench Warmer to Rookie to Pro to Superstar--that shows you how to match up against your opponents.

2K Share - Create, upload, and share rosters, sliders, and even players created with the all-new Player DNA feature. This also includes the newly revamped Reelmaker, where you can now direct your own digital video highlight reels and post them on 2KSports.com or your personal web page for all the world to watch and admire.

Those are the features that are not included in the pc version.

Is PC version available on the Steam?

berfles
October 7th, 2008, 11:51 AM
Steam would be nice.

At least there is some more reassurance that it's a direct 360 port.

So there's no way to even use the replay editor in the PC version?

Looks like nobody is hearing the pc users. One or two REAL screenshots of the PC version and some answers to our simple questions will make us to shut the hell up and wait for the game to be released. We want to be treated just like the PS3/XBOX 360 users. C'mon , show us some love. Till then , I'll continue to dare for a screenshot or something.

psyclone1982
October 7th, 2008, 09:10 PM
Also another question for the mods, as have been listed previously that it does not support any online optins.

I'm a member of a near dead online NBA Live league that has been destroyed by the terrible quality games EA has been releasing for PC. Is it at all possible to do a direct IP connect game in 2K9 PC or is all Online components removed.

I.E there will obviously be no lobby or matchmaking service like on consoles but is there any Direct IP connect options?

All European amazons have listed it for the same release date as the console versions, oct. 10th.
However, the German one updated it now to oct. 17th for PC, which sounds more likely.

This is international forum and when I see someone from ex-yougoslavia (guess what, it`s not in Africa!) I think it`s OK to write something for them in a native language.

October 9th, 2008, 12:21 PM
Of course I will buy it. But check this out: In USA you can order the game over internet for less than 20$. In Europe, the same game is 30€ which is about 45$ (more than double). When the game comes to my country, the price is about 45-50€ (more than 75$). And I guess that PS3 version, which is 60$ in USA, in my country will be about 150$. And my average paycheck is about 450-500$. So, if average sallary in USA is, I dunno, 2.000$, would you buy game that cost 800$ ??? But, than, even it will be 3x regular US price here, I will buy it...PC version, of course.

P-Dub
October 9th, 2008, 12:52 PM
I'd like to request that a PC patch be developed simultaneously with the 360 patch. Since the PC version is a port of the 360 version, the same issues that are in the 360 version, except for the online issues, will appear in the PC version.

Tegb
October 9th, 2008, 01:01 PM
No. Most os the issues have to do with online play and game performance. PC version is offline only, and with good specs and mods coming, u won´t have to worry about blurry textures, or freezing in 2k view.

About the gameplay issues, personally I don´t even read complainings about CPU fg% and all that stuff, when the game has sliders to adjust it.

Hi,
I'm really excited about having NBA2K on PC.
I am a huge fan of NBA Video Games, but since I own a PC have been limited to NBA Live series. One important advantage for NBA Live games has always been the community which has provided a lot of quality mods (Especially retro and current roster patches) that have enhanced the game. This is an important part for me.

My question is: It's absolutely not clear from all the contradicting data I see here: Will there be a support for Living Rosters or any other form of roster update on PC?

Thanks.

I've seen that, it doesn't mean anything until someone actually gets the game, and the only person here who says he is getting it said it shipped from US. If it doesn't come out until the 21st for the US, how would the game ship from the country?

No. Most os the issues have to do with online play and game performance. PC version is offline only, and with good specs and mods coming, u won´t have to worry about blurry textures, or freezing in 2k view.

About the gameplay issues, personally I don´t even read complainings about CPU fg% and all that stuff, when the game has sliders to adjust it.

I am not talking about field goal percentage. I'm talking about the AI problems. There is a lack of defensive AI and offensive AI causing too many points in the paint and assists. Setting the defense to deny the ball or increasing the help defense slider does nothing to stop this. Any player who has an inch on his defender in the paint will get a quick pass and an easy chance at an inside bucket. This was a similar issue last year with the backdoor passes. The tendency sliders do help a bit in this regard as far as shot selection, but there are still too many assists by the cpu. I have been going through the sliders even trying extreme changes does not help.

If those really are PC screenshots I wonder why the game was ported from the XBOX360 instead of the PS2, because the material is not significantly better than EA's Live ports from the PS2 platform

I will say that if they are in fact not releasing anything because the game actually looks like that, that I'm going to be ****ed for not buying the game all this time on 360. I'm waiting 3 extra weeks, it better be worth it.

That said, if they say 360 port then that what I'm banking on.

"The PC is a special addition to the NBA 2K9 franchise, and unlike other titles, this is a feature for feature port of the 360 version of the game. No PS2 porting here. The game will play the exact same as it does on the 360, and will ship with a lower price point of $19.99, in the interest of making sure that people will buy it vs. trying to pirate the game. They want to make this a yearly experience for PC players, as long as they can see good sales on the title."

No PC game will look that bad if its a port of a 360 game, it will actually look better than the 360 because it will have AA and AF and more power to use the graphics engine.

Stop acting like 10 yr olds and grow up and use your brain for a second. PC has much better hardware than a 360, they wouldn't make the screens look horrible for PC version......

Wait a few days and relax.

I'm a member of a near dead online NBA Live league that has been destroyed by the terrible quality games EA has been releasing for PC. Is it at all possible to do a direct IP connect game in 2K9 PC or is all Online components removed.

I.E there will obviously be no lobby or matchmaking service like on consoles but is there any Direct IP connect options?

That's called the minimum requirement. It means that's what it takes to run the lowest settings (something like 800X600 with low details and no AA). To run the game at the 360 level you'll of course need a better computer.

The 360 hardware is old compared to gaming computers, so you don't need a great computer to run this game. But, you do need a gaming computer which means it has a decent graphics card.

360 graphics are similar to a Nvidia 7800(PS3 also), so if your PC is decent you are OK.

LOOK @ the 360/PS3 version there's your PC screenshots:rotfl:

PC can add AA, AF and many other filters and effects since it has much more powerful hardware(graphics card especially) if you have a good PC that is.

So, even if its a port of the 360 version, you can make the graphics look more sharp, more smooth, more real than on console.

One good thing about the 9600GSO is that it supports DX10. Otherwise it's a decent card.

* Video card with 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets is required: ATI x1300or greater | NVIDIA 6600 or greater | DirectX 9.0c compatible card with Shader Model 3.0 support.

How hard is it for you people to compute? obviously if your card is that are better than the damn game will run. Its real easy to go to google and type nba 2k9 pc minimum specs.

It's not "very good". It will run NBA2K9 but not with max settings, and that's only if his CPU is very good.

Also, GPUs alone don't mean the game will run or not. Your CPU is another huge thing, just posting your GPU won't tell anyone jack.

As I said, post the rest of your specs. You need to tell us the CPU, RAM, and what resolution you play at. If the rest is up to snuff and your resolution isn't too high, then you should see graphics similar. I doubt you can use any AA/AF though, which means it'll be jaggy and textures won't be as sharp.

A PS3 has a graphics card similar to a 7800, an 8600 is just about the same.

If you have 2GB RAM and a decent CPU, your machine is more powerful than a PS3 then.

IDK why people think a 360 or PS3 is powerful, its 4 year old hardware and has low RAM too.



DEMO??? --- WHO CARES - Just download off torrent to test it man. What do you need a demo for?

It depends on the 8600 (GT, GTS, plain) and 7800 (same). I don't know what type of 7800 the PS3 the PS3 is comparable to. I guess it's a GTX, so yeah the 8600 GT and 7800GTX are very similar.

The naming schemes these companies use are pretty stupid.

The PS3 is equal to the original 7800, not a GTX version. Some articles say the PS3 GPU is less powerful than a 7800, some say it is a little faster. Either way it is an old piece of hardware not even close to todays PC GPUs.

8600 GT is stronger than a PS3 RSX GPU, but since the PS3 only focuses only on games and not the OS or anything else, I guess they are about equal.

This game is a 360 port anyway, the 360 GPU is about the same thing a 7800 or so. Even if you have a 7800 you could still use updated drivers and adjust the AA and AF settings and all kinds of things. With a console you are stuck with the default and thats it.

I think the PC version of the game will look the best since you can use a new grasphics card and max it out with AA 16 and AF and all that kind of stuff.
