I must say that as good as 2K9 is they still have lots of work to do. Namely a way to play defense in the post. The main issue however is the online play. It has been the most horrible experience I have had on Xbox Live. I only play online and the constant disconnects. The eternity it takes to connect to games and the slideshow-like gameplay when you do get in a game is absolutely inexcusable. They are promising a patch but by the time it comes out who knows if I will still be interested. Bad move 2Ksports... Bad Move.
