I dunno, just got a new Logitech game pad so I'm really awaiting something like this to test it on until Street Fighter 4 comes out. I just hope they don't mess it up and everything will work ok.

The animations are looking very natural, and that crowd is just awesome. Looks like it would really make the feel of the game exciting, but of course I'd have to pump up the res to see for sure. I haven't played b-ball games in a while, I may just check this one out......

It looks great! I've been stuck on NBA 2k4 for a long time now and I think it's time for an upgrade!

I'm so excited to play a sports game FINALLY on the PC. Also, SF4 is going to be AWEEEEESOME!!!! I have a 360 controller ready to rip it up!

ATTENTION
Do not buy NBA 2K9 for the PC at this time. There is a large thread over at 2ksport filled with complaints of people who bought this game without a product code. You cannot install this game until you input the product code.

My dad is raging like hell.. He got this game like 4 hours ago haven't heard the end of it

EastCoasthandle · Oct 21, 2008, 11:17 PM

This is going to be epic!

People in that forum are already screaming of class action lawsuit

This is not acceptable though.

If you recently purchased the NBA 2K9 PC title in North America, 2K Sports is aware of the issues with the Product Keys and is working hard on a solution.

I hope they do get sued. At least GSC Game World/Deep Silver recalled their game before it got sold. They are alot smaller than 2k as well so I think they are just lazy tards..

EastCoasthandle · Oct 21, 2008, 11:22 PM

All I can tell anyone who googles this problem is email 2ksports at:
techsupport@2ksports.com. Explain the problem to them. It appears they are aware of the situation.

Update:
2kSports is aware of the situation and working on a solution

The fix is now confirmed:
-place NBA 2K9 disc into cd/dvd-rom
-Force update steam: File, check for steam client updates
-Steam will indicate there is a update
-Once update is uploaded and installed it will reboot steam
-Upon restart it will locate your cd and start the install progress through steam
-It will appear as if it's uploading but it's actually installing from the HD

You should be done within a few minutes
