Nba 2K9 PC - 19.99

[guyver2077]

Well I became aware of this a few weeks ago. I have been looking to get the 360 version but I decided to wait out just to see what happens with the PC version.

Original Release date was supposed to be this week but it looks like its November 3rd now.

Currently 19.99 at Amazon.

Confirmed to be a 360 port and not a dummied down pc game like EA used to do.

If only more devs could do this. I'm contemplating picking it up, I've always been a fan of the 2K games when I play a basket ball game, and $20 is just so nice.

Only Amazon is saying November 3. Everyone else shows a release this week.

Gamestop is already shipping.

Apparently, 2K forgot to put the cd keys along with the game. So I'd probably wait on getting it.

HAHAHAHAHAA! I just read that. I can't believe it. Atleast with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Clear Sky it was multiplayer right?

Wow. Bad.

Looks like the issue was already "fixed" by having Steam fix something on their cd to not require CD keys.

[guyver2077]

so this game is available via steam?

no b&m stores seem to have it.. and some other online stores say backordered..

[Monsta Mack]

It was at my Wal-Mart but only two copies were sent it seems.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

2 copies without CD-Keys.
BAUAAUAUAAHA

Also something that worried me.. taken from a gamestop comment..

This is an exact port from the console, but they did not include online play. Therefore, this game looks exactly like its console version. Hopefully someone will mod it so folks can play it on gamespy (or some other service). The use of AA and AF can get rid of crawling edges and blurry objects in the distance. This game appears to be cpu bound therefore you may need to OC your CPU. Those who have this game overseas claim that a low end gpu can run the game well (but a beefy cpu may be needed). The only issue I can see is that there may be no rooster updates or profile updates once the game is released. Let's hope a good modding community comes out of this. One last thing, you have to activate this game via Steam. Therefore, you may want to open your steam account before you install this game.

Some of the screens I've seen are actually really good, on par with consoles and maybe even better. I'm hearing a lot of good feedback on it and actually thought about getting it myself.

Is anyone having problems with the activation keys? They've got some solutions up on the 2k website.

What no rooster updates? I refuse to accept that:lol:.

[guyver2077]

demo up on steam.

Downloading now. Atleast i can see how it will look and run. I dont really want to buy it since there is no online or roster updates. WTF

[CoolGamer]

lol I got this game and it looks gorgeous, i mean i was loving it till i ran into one MAJOR flaw (on all systems). If you make a shot the ball just falls to the floor, no one picks it up and takes it out of bounds to throw back in bounds. Needless to say, the first quarter i won 108 to 7 because i would just keep dunking it until the shot clock ran out.

I did find the fix though: Delete all of your roster and prior game progress then restart

Modders have updated shoes..
