Since the PC version is a port we should at least be given the ability to use the 2K Share feature over our own network, allowing gamers to transfer files from one system to the other. However, not having any aspects of online functionality makes it, in all likelihood, impossible for users to play their games with integration between the various systems, and that is unacceptable. Even without the online multiplayer component, myself and many people would still have been happy with a portable franchise as stated above. I can understand why 2K Sports would avoid putting online multiplayer in the PC version, especially considering the amount of complaints the online multiplayer is garnering on OS and other forums. It was at that point that the focus of my article shifted, no longer highlighting a great example of cross-platform gaming, and instead looking at the decision to have no integration whatsoever between the two products.
"Does not support any online functionality, including but not limited to online games, 2K Share, ReelMaker or Living Roster." However, this quote was in the fine print under the game features.
So when I set out to do that, my first step was to go to the NBA 2K9 PC official website. Originally, I was going to use the first part of this article to discuss online functionality between systems - the example being Shadowrun, which could be played on either the PC or Xbox 360. And honestly, what person reading this article does not want that? Some people will not care about not being able to play online multiplayer games, and will instead use a new laptop for a portable Association 2.0.
Imagine for just $20* - despite being a 360 game you play on your PC - it's conceivable that some people will end up buying both versions and in fact favoring the PC port more than its console twin. Making a PC game that is a direct port of a game that many consider to be an amazing basketball title sounds very appealing, and I'm excited about the possibilities. Unless one of the NBA games comes and knocks it off next month (I’m looking at you 2K9), the race is already over." It turns out that I was right on with that statement, and in my opinion it is a two game battle for my "highly touted" Game of the Year award (with FIFA 09 being a dark-horse candidate.) The first line read, "NHL 09 is right now my favorite to win Game of the Year. The PC version of NBA 2K9 was released yesterday for the low price of $19.99, and is essentially a port of the Xbox 360 version (which is great), but it is being released without any online functionality (which is not as great).Ī few weeks ago I wrote an article about fighting in NHL 09.
