Here are some things you have to know when buying this game:

1. There is no online game play

2. This game requires a Steam account which means you will have to have an internet connection(Very stupid I know).

3. Once the game installs, the steam account needs to update the game. Be VERY VERY patient because it takes forever! Mine took 7 hours to update! Many people get so excited to play that they keep clicking on the "launch" button to play the game and don't let it install completely. Every time you hit the "launch" button the update will have to start over.

4. 2k Sports made a big error and forgot to send key codes with most of the games they sent out. They solved this by allowing you to install the game without a key code so it is NO longer an issue.

5. If you have any other issues with the game, go to

Here you will find a solution to almost any problem you may be facing.

Once you get the game to work it is AWESOME!! With all the problems people have been facing it might be worth it for you to wait 9 months and buy NBA 2k10 where most of these problems will be fixed (hopefully) and there will be online game play.

The bottom line is if you can find this game used for under $10, it is definitely worth your time and money.

NBA 2K9 on the PC is the best game ever. Before I had NBA Live 08 for the PC and I thought that it was pretty good. However, after playing this game Live 08 is average.

This game has the great graphics since it is a Xbox 360 port, so it has the next-gen graphics! In addition, it has the features that the 360 version has like substituting on the fly, calling plays and team strategies. This game has pretty good commentary. The game has a realistic atmosphere.

There are many different modes such as a season, playoffs, slam dunk contest, 3pt. shootout, 21, pickup games, and a practice mode, where you can practice the different offensive plays which tell you where to move your controlled player.

There is even a free throw practice mode--something I wish NBA Live 08 had.

The Shot Stick is a very fun way to shoot since it can perform many different types of shots, layups and dunks based on the direction you put the Right Analog Stick. This increases the number of shots you can perform since each direction has a different move. With a shot stick, you have more control over the type of shot you would like.

I am really liking the automatic substitutions of NBA 2K9, since you can have them based upon the players' fatigue or the team's rotation. One aspect that makes it good is that it recognizes players' secondary positions and substitutes based upon them.

For instance, I use the Phoenix Suns & when Shaquille O'Neal is subbed out, it recognizes that Amar'e Stoudemire can play at center, so it slides him over, and inserts Matt Barnes at PF.

In Live 08, it would put Robin Lopez at center. This is where the rotations are important, since Lopez isn't a big part of my team's rotation.

2K Sports did the right thing putting out this game on the PC since ea sports decided not to make its game on the PC.

I highly recommend this game and at $20.00, you cannot go wrong! Buy it so that NBA 2K will continue to come out on the PC in future years.

Many options in passing and shooting. Also, the game has great graphics. Would have been better for PC users if there were visual illustrations for a PC compatible game pad. Hard to dunk with any regularity, even right under the basket. Overall, a very good game.

Honest reviews on NBA 2K9 - PC

This game is a simplistic and poorly executed port of 2K Sports XBOX 360 version. They even include a picture of the XBOX 360 Controller in the manual. If you have an XBOX 360, pay the extra money and play it on your 360, this game is a piece of the trash. The menu system is jacked up, sometimes you can use your mouse other times you need to use your joystick or your keyboard, it's never consistent or logical. But the problem that seals it at 1 star is the fact that it gives you an error message when you try to configure a controller that isn't for the 360 and the default configuration does not have the direction arrows or secondary buttons assigned. I have no desire to play a basketball game with my keyboard. Further complicating this debacle was that tech support was useless and simply suggested they couldn't solve the problem because their are many types of controllers. I have played countless games including tons of freeware games that all work with my controller. This is a beta game all the way, only they aren't interested in fixing the problems. Run away, and run away quick! However, you'll need to press a button on your keyboard though, as the trigger/run button on your controller will be rendered useless.

Best PC basketball game ever for playability. Horribly menu system. If the menu system were better, or if there were documentation to explain the menu system at least, then it would be a 5 star game for sure. Even with the debillitating menu system it is a fantastic game.
