I don't know reason why ppl still prefer playing LIVE 08 on the PC rather than play a real basketball game on the PC, 2K9. I see that there's alot of ppl making patches and updates for LIVE 08 in order to get the game updated with courts and cyberfaces, but no matter what they do, it doesn't compare to what 2K9 looks like since it's next-gen. Also 2K9 plays a lot better gameplay-wise with less bugs than LIVE 08 so you cannot argue that ppl like LIVE 08 gameplay better since 2K9 is clearly more realistic. It would be awesome if those LIVE 08 patchers to convert to 2K9 and also it will raise the level of awareness of 2K9 on the PC (maybe the reason why the PC patch is late) and to prove to 2K developers that we, PC users, do care about 2K basketball so that they can release a PC patcher faster and that they will further release 2K basketball games every year from now on. I truly believe that 2K was testing the PC market when it released 2K9 and we have to show them that we fully support their decision so that future 2K basketball games will be released.
I've made a thread at the Official 2K9 PC forum:
http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=197649 and it would be nice for you guys to register there in order to say "thank you" so we can raise 2K9 PC awareness and let developers know we appreciate the PC version so they will continue making patches and Basketball games in the future for us PC users.
