Before you go into hermit mode, post first impressions after a game or two.. please?
 
I think the Xbox version is meant to be as good anyway (perhaps better... nahh).

PS3 controller is better though.

Picked my copy up just a couple of hours ago, already had a game.

And I have to say it is quite a difference from the demo, thankfully for the good, the graphics in the demo seemed alot more jagged and clunky, but it is so much smoother and looks fantastic.

So far from the 1 game I have played, my first impressions are:
Rebounding is TOUGH, you need to basically have the players hands actually grab the ball, no in the range of the ball and it pops in your hands anymore, really need to work it out for myself as I got pawned a few times, and it was costly.

Shooting is very fluid, looks amazing, doesn't seem like a video game shot, it looks very realistic doesn't stutter at all and the ball moves through the air and through the net VERY realistically.

The game is presented very nicely, has a great TV coverage feel to it, replays from throughout the game pop up at stops in the game, with commentary moving well throughout it, overall commentary has a very natural feel to it.

Will post more impressions later.

Yep, only downer so far is that the online server seems down, don't know what is going on, might need to do some research to find out.

But in regards to the game, I am very happy with it, from the demo I really did think it would just be a minor upgrade from 2K8, but to me 2K8 felt like a video game, and 2K9 really feels like the real thing.

Just a few bugs though, sometimes the players don't move well, like if you have a chance for a fast break they often stop either when you pass it or when running down the court they don't run fast enough to offer another option.

One great point though is the cuts your players make into the key, opens up alot more options, they move around the court very nicely and play as real players should.

Seems the servers have been overloaded, and shut down, hopefully will be up soon and going well, from all reports it wasn't working great before it went down.
 
Wow Ive only played 1 5 minute quarter but holy crap.

Same 2K formula but the little things have been so improved. Rebounding is now hard, and takes skill.

There are so many more new options. it will take a week or more to get used to all the stuff.

the game feels so much more real. There is much more player movement, and they dont stand around as much. They run good plays.

Also the players stop like they should, and dont require the 2 feet stopping distance which was annoying the last few years.

I was whinging about big players being able to guard quick players. Well from the 2 examples i saw (Baron went by Dampier, then dirk in another play, as he should).

This game has an amazingly authentic feel from what Ive played so far.

I hope Live 09 is going well
