The Association 2.0: The BEST just got even better. Your teammates will initiate cuts, picks, and post-ups based on how you handle the ball, while your opponent modifies strategy to fit the pace of the game. Shot Stick Advanced: The revolutionary Shot Stick control system takes it one step further, allowing you to change your shots in mid-air.Īdaptive AI: Adaptive AI will read, react, and adjust in real time to your strategies. But if you do, snap this up as quick as you can.With Kevin Garnett on the cover, NBA 2K9 bursts onto the sports gaming scene with updated adaptive A.I., and exciting online features including the Reelmaker and the all-new Player DNA element. And this is coming from someone who has no interest in baseball whatsover. But, if you can struggle past the interface, the game itself is baseball gold. The training help screens don't actually help too much, as the button numbers often don't match what they are on the controller. You really do need a pad as well, because so many of the controls are tied to the analogue stick. However, the interface problems that were the only real problem with MLB's basketball counterpart are back in full force, and are even more pronounced than before.Ĭouple this with the fact that the controls are so complicated that it'll take a fairly long time to get to grips with them. There's also a reasonable practice mode to get into the swing (pun intended) of things with. There's also a non-atrocious soundtrack to keep you interested (although, 50% of it is still complete toss). The usual spread of options are available, with one-off fixtures, franchise modes and Home Run Derbies all playable. The graphics are spot on, the sound and commentary is exemplary and-the whole thing just feels like you are participating in a game of baseball. Despite all the efforts EA Sports have made to make their games feel like TV broadcasts, they've never come anywhere near 2K's level of presentation. Just like with the other recent 2K Sports title NBA 2K9 the sheer quality and sheen on display here is superb.
At the time of writing, and as far as we know after some diligent research, MLB 2K9 is only available on the PC in the UK from Direct2 Drive, so don't be rushing off to any shops or anything. One Thing Needs to be said before we crack on with this review.
