My intentional foul problem is not that the opponent tackles my players or anything, but it TOTALLY DOESN'T WORK. i play it for PS3, no matter if it's on or off, i press select to intentionally foul a team, and nothing happens.

Anyone know how to fix this?

also, when you unlocked the aba ball then turn it on for a game, then after the game, the ball is back to its default

I wouldn't really call this a glitch, but for whatever reason, when I play the Lakers at the Staples Center, I can't hit a single freethrow. I'm the 3rd best shooting FT team in the league, yet I played two matches against them just now, and both times I hit ZERO freethrows.

Is the FT shooting set to auto?

if in your settings is "REAL PLAYER FREE THROW %" is set ON, than it's based on their % (in-game rating)

if you mean by FT shooting real % or whatever, that setting is "off". I don't have a problem hitting FTs in any other arena against other teams but at the Stapes Center I'm unable to even hit one.

You just suck at freethrows.

Seriously, I think there is something about freethrow timing that changes from game to game for some reason. That's why I always keep the help on. I will release the same way everytime, and it will sometimes be early or late. I don't know if this is the games way of making it harder to shoot, or if it is some kind of hardware timing issue with the game.

It could be the framerate issue, as many people have said that they shoot airballs in practice mode with vsync off.

Second what Pdub said about you sucking at free throws.

I never won a jumpball in the game, only once. That's how I suck with timing. Same reason my FT is set to "real" or whatever it's called

Free throws are not that difficult. Each player has a different style and point of release. Maybe shooting is more difficult in LA as the Lakers are a good team and the fans make your players nervous.

I used to suck at jumpballs at well. You have to jump earlier...press the button as soon as the referee starts his animation of throwing the ball up. Jumpballs are not that important though. Sometimes I win the jumpball but my player knocks it to the wrong player who immediately runs to my basket and dunks it. It is the other way round, too. The cpu team wins the jumpball, knocks it to one of my players and I have a fastbreak.

You can direct which way the ball is tipped with the right stick, or you can just press the jump button. I'm not sure where the ball goes with the jump button, I stick with the right stick.

I don't know if someone notice this, but after patch was installed I can't make post up plays.
And I try a few good post up playes (Garnett as an example), whenever I press the post up plays the guy is stuck with is back to the basket and dosen't move, even though I press the move buuton..

Does anyone notice this?

Re: NBA 2k9 Bugs and Glitches Thread

Anyone having Laggy Start Up Screen issue? It's almost like non clickable as the animation is really choppy to the max. I'm talking about LAL vs BOS menu starting screen, not KG one. When I press ESC to main menu, then it gets smooth, but it's really annoying as the problem appears here and there.

And no, it's not my vid/cpu. In game, I play everything at max setting.

Re: NBA 2k9 Bugs and Glitches Thread

Fri Feb 20, 2009 7:33 pm

I read it was due to having stuff plugged into the usb slots.

and about jumpballs, I start mashing the button before the ball goes up and I win a lot of them that way.

2k must fix these flaws. Found some good videos:



Also watch the other videos of this guy.

u can't just highlight 2 plays in a game and condemn the game's defense, i agree its not perfect but then u could tweak ur slidersr u kidding, and even if in the NBA does every body play stella defense everytime? no

Re: NBA 2k9 Bugs and Glitches Thread

That specific layup he talks about is the only one that does that. The cpu uses it often, but the same thing has happened to me when I have performed that layup, I go right through the cpu. It is possible to block the shot, but you can't physically defend it.

The morphing(it's really clipping, morphing has to do with animations, not collisions) has nothing to do with the animations being terrible, it has to do with there being such a variety of animations and not enough development time to polish them. With so many great animations and collision animations that look good, the game is broken due to a few buggy animations and gameplay flaws. I don't buy it.

I agree with that guy about half the time, but I hate his videos. Too much commentary.

Did you notice that you cannot dribble out of bounds?? LOL The player bounces back off the line.

Re: NBA 2k9 Bugs and Glitches Thread

Sat Feb 28, 2009 7:32 am

I've dribbled out of bounds plenty of times.

Re: NBA 2k9 Bugs and Glitches Thread

Sun Mar 01, 2009 5:38 am

But can you dribble out of bounds? I always bounce at the line.

Re: NBA 2k9 Bugs and Glitches Thread

Same as Pdub, it happens to me usually on a fast break, when I pass to someone on the sideline.
