I have 1.61 ghz and i have it on the lowest setting and it runs slow.
hoops gamer will that copy and paste help it????

[Hoops_Gamer]

Those values are the possible lowest quality with some adjustments such as cloth_logical_thread 1 becoming 2 instead of -1.

Hope that helps.

[camdensouthside]

Thanks HOOP_GAMER. Its running ok now. Do you think the problem was with my videocard or with the whole PC? i want to upgrade my videocard so i could play the game in better settings.

[camdensouthside]

I Bought the game and i can't find the 2ksports folder on my drive.
(it says i have retail verson) help!!!!!
i'm tryin to use the stuff hoopsgamer gave me

[camdensouthside]

Where is the saves folder????
i searched for it, but did'nt come up with nothing.
i'm trying to get my game to go fast

[Hoops_Gamer]

The "saves" folder is located in Documents and Settings/User Name
Here is the full path for XP:
(Drive Letter):\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Application Data\2K Sports\NBA 2K9\Saves

Don't forget to apply "Show hidden folders" from folder options menu in "my computer".

For Vista, as far as i know there is a folder called "Roaming" and application datas are there.

Yes. Although NBA 2K9 is CPU sensitive, it also requires a quality GPU, too.
I think a 9500GT should be minimum for you. It's a low/medium-level video card and it's price is quite low.

what if i got a laptop with a spec of

1.83 core 2 duo
geforce 8800GTS 512mb
4 gig of ram running in vista 64 and my game run very slow.

And the thing is that i can run Crysis on playable framerate unlike on NBA 2k9.

Allright. Copy + Paste + Overwrite these values into your config.cfg file. Hopefully it works well.
