About the game

NBA 2K9 is a 2008 basketball simulation game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K. It is the tenth game in the NBA 2K franchise and the successor to NBA 2K8. It was released in 2008 for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics is the cover athlete.

Like earlier games in the series it simulates the National Basketball Association. You play NBA games with any team you choose and can customize many parts of the style of play and the presentation. There are several single-player and multiplayer modes, including season, online and quick play, and you can create new teams and players.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions came out on 7 October 2008 in North America and 10 October in Europe. Reviewers singled out the customization, the Living Rosters feature that updates player data through the season, and the new five-on-five online play.

NBA 2K9 got positive reviews. Critics praised the overall gameplay and the look of the presentation, and some called it the best basketball game around, while others pointed to a lack of new features. By July 2009 it had sold over 2 million copies.

Good to know

The Xbox 360 list has 50 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore.
Six achievements are for winning a set matchup on All-Star difficulty, such as Celtics vs Lakers, Spurs vs Suns and East vs West, and twelve are stat lines with a named player, such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant or Yao Ming.
Dunk-Off, for beating a challenger in a Dunk-Off, is the rarest achievement. Only about 3.5 percent of players hold it.
Several achievements need online play, including the ranked-win streaks, Team 2K, Good Teammate and sharing a file through 2K Share.
The game sold over 2 million copies by July 2009.
Kevin Garnett is the cover athlete, as a member of the Boston Celtics.
