NBA 2K9 9 years later: "The Game" played 2K? (Ranking the top 2Ks of all time P.3)

[@Dom2K]

First, I've moved this series over to this channel because it makes a lot more sense here than it did on the main, and considering I have to do like 10 more, I wanted it to fit as well as possible. Second, I made a mistake with the features. The living roster/2K insider was really extensive in 2K9, and I couldn't tell as much because you can't access it anymore. I did some digging and found the trailer for it and I'll explain it further in the 2K10 vid. Finally, do you know anything about the section where I talk about "The game?" Let me know if you do.

[@thatboyadog]

Dom what happened to the goat playoff series videos?

[@karot1137]

Dom cmon dom ive been waiting😂😂💀

[@slasher.slvzhxxr.4171]

The game is a 99 on 2k18

[@dvdylas6583]

yea its called allstar team up now

[@dylangrubbs7596]

Dom lax came out early 09

[@yuch1102]

I wouldn't be surprised LAX was The Game. The Game just hit 99 in 2k18 MyCareer, that dude plays 2k a ton

[@Godblessamerica2012]

yuch1102 that's sad, not lax but the fact the vc pay is so shit that it took a famous rapper to reach 99

[@tapedlockz420]

i had the gold room VIP ticket and everybody knows LAX is game lmao thats always been his username

[@flyplease5820]

The Game also made a theme for 2k10 i believe it doesn't prove anything but it definetely supports the case

[@matthewbless3633]

Shoot... my grandpa once mistook Triple Play 2001 for a real baseball game. LOL

[@GabeGenesis]

idc what anybody says 2k9 was ahead of it's time

[@mimeblood4]

lol no one's gonna argue that.

[@jologamer9972]

Indeed!

[@TheGoldwingz]

I also believe 2k10 was a huge jump from 2k9 and was overshadowed by the success of nba 2k11

[@williamlikejr9447]

Kobe and Lebron were cheat codes in this game frfr. 😂😂😂

[@williamlikejr9447]

Rayyan Funny video it was still fun though I won’t complain. 😂

[@williamlikejr9447]

Rise Again Hell yea lol frfr 😂😂😂.

[@kingstarks1987]

[@smoke7792]

[@smoke7792]

LeBron couldn't miss

[@shounakc509]

Bro, this channel deserves as many subscribers as the main channel.

[@JReam425]

2k9 was the year I left NBA live 😥

[@derrickwoo6773]

Can’t even lie I ain’t even play 2k until 2k10 didn’t own a 2k until 2k11 I was poor lol I was still playing nba live 09 on the ps2 while everyone was having fun on next gen lol

[@dgodm7541]

Derrick Woo I was still playing 2k5 and 2k6 on Xbox

[@NiggasDrinkin40s]

Shit I started playing NBA 2k with AI on the covers. Time flies

[@cardohuncho]

I’m digging the Marvel-esque intro.

[@fivesquaredyt2521]

Corey Smoove same

[@tonyshlean]

2k8 and 9 has the Lebron cheat dunk from almost the ft line. That one hand one foot jump dunk

[@dusk6159]

Legendary

[@ajgray6965]

I vividly remember the soundtracks playing a key part into the games overall feel. I used to love 2k13s soundtrack and I absolutley 2k15s soundtrack with "Momma used to say". Can you talk about the soundtacks in your next video in the series?

[@BestGame215]

Finally, someone that loves the 2k15 soundtrack. OK 2k14 was a little bit better for me but 2k15 had some good songs also

[@puppetmaster8387]

See me and dom love the little miniscule details of 2k that nothing to do with gameplay, I love 2k14 3d players on team selection menu.

[@airbatsenoj]

Ricky Spanish only the die hard fans would appreciate it. I'm glad Dom is doing this series.

[@LuisAntonImperial]

NBA 2K12 and 13 also had the top player per team doing tricks with the ball on team selection.

[@tonyshlean]

Jesus I ain’t realize how long we been watching chris smoove on 2k. Him and operation sports

[@northernlight1000]

What about situation tho?? That was amazing my favorite mode

[@lorettabrown1928]

NBA Commentator Same

[@yeerr8241]

I loved that mode lol always tryna hit buzzer beaters with Kobe.

[@spaceghostp6672]

Loved that!

[@mokushmasmo6009]

NBA2k7 was a classic.

[@Huss_D]

This is one of my favourite 2ks. Great review/ retrospective, I’m loving these videos.

[@TheSuperkeithg]

This 2k series is amazing

[@kid5042]

Keith Greenwood Not anymore

[@MrSwallows]

I remember this as my first NBA2K because NBA LIVE stop supporting PC at that year.

[@gambit7242]

2k9 was my first 2k ever.my favorite mode was blacktop because it had slam dunk contest,i loved that game!

[@splashnskillz37]

Who remember Chris Smoove roasting this game saying It wasn't ready to be released?

[@kwanbuggs288]

This is a great series Keep it up bro

[@CommonSenseless1993]

NBA 2k9 and NBA 2k11 are the last two games in the franchise that I cared about back in my college days

[@smoke7792]

I loved 2k9

[@Vannyx2k]

Hey Dom, been a big fan since the 3kings of New York series. Please make another series like that with storylines and gameplay, it was great

[@jumpman2326]

This brings back so many memories. back when 2k wasn’t lazy and actually cared about the game. The good old days

[@Luke-kc9li]

About time, been ready for this series

[@MrC77]

2k9 looks better than 2k18.

[@mlkchannel5890]

MrCarl27 ha ha

[@ighost4580]

Facts

[@JMAC____]

🤦🏾‍♂️

[@FR0Z0NEkeys]

Plays better too.

[@TheMmaConnoisseur_]

DOM THE GOAT

[@mr.airball5183]

Love the new intro

[@Moonie130]

Best series

[@Tonio2k]

Waiting For NBA 2K11!

[@mlkchannel5890]

YoungAntonio yah

[@juicyshaqmeat]

I'm pretty sure his previous stance still holds true, that 2k11 is the best among the series. I'm just curious what else Dom adds to the discussion.

[@yeetverse1]

Perfect tens!!!

[@SF_XX]

Is this series done?

[@litesout0_o639]

This 2k had the best dunk contest ✋'s👇🏿

[@DerekTurner1985]

2K9 had a bunch of gameplay and online issues, that's how I found Smoove channel too but it was for his how to effectively use Kobe video because dudes online just drove to the basketball because the game was set to pro difficulty. Even Luke Walton was going 360s and windmill dunks online due to the sliders being crazy. The presentation was the best part of the game for sure outside of KD looking like Shawn Kemp in this game.

[@dJ.kNiGhT23]

Can you trade players with other teams?

[@EddiePReacts]

​@@dJ.kNiGhT23yes

[@jasonfink1824]

Great vid, enjoying this series, looking forward to the next

[@TheOnlyMJS]

I’m playing this rn. I still love it. 11 years later. It’s ahead of it’s time. It’s kind of clunky now ofc. But you would still enjoy it as long as you adjust to it’s controls. Nothing is game-breaking IMO. Pretty solid pretty freaking fun game all around after all these years. I played the living heck out of this game. And I’m doing the same rn. It’s so good.

[@mcgb7490]

4:12 relatable

[@asaperkins6337]

We got beef after that bron video 😑 but im glad u didn't stop this series

[@deadvibez4978]

2k9 my first 2k ahhhh the nostalgia

[@basketballfan2821]

Great video keep up the very good work

[@alexw2k315]

2k9 with the 3d logos🔥

[@Yorker1998]

This was my first NBA 2K game. I've played this game so often that I have memorized nearly all the commentator's lines. Still play it occasionally till this very day.

[@VenomousStare]

Great video. Please upload another goat series vid

[@coolusernamepat]

2K9 will forever be my favorite in the series. With that being said, the amount of layups that were missed on a regular basis was insane; just as bad as it is in 2K18.

[@andrewdillehay7694]

Pumped to watch 2k10..

[@ssinisters]

I think The Game mentioned in an interview he was a top ranked player in Madden. That might be him on 2k too lol

[@Endellion_the_Hellion]

Love the video!

[@TheHypnotic92]

Late to this video but I gotta correct you on the team-up feature never working, g. This was a heavily competitive game mode during that time to where we had tournaments on MLG when it still existed. If you played with randoms, you would sometimes get unplayable games or it crashing like Smoove was saying back than but not to that extent. Playing on private lobbies with people you met and playing against other people’s squads was one of the funnest times we had playing 2K.

[@2ndEzra]

If this game would've had the NBA live 10 dribbling , I would still play it today with updates .

[@Armani_Vis]

That was "the game" he had it b4 the game release like two weeks cuz thats the 1st 2k that ppl got b4 the actual release date

[@kennybrooks8374]

I remember L A X!!! I always got hype when I played a hall of famer. You knew what level of player you were playing as soon as the game tipped off because they had a special icon next ti the player's online name during the game. I was ranked 523 on 2k9, 111 on 2k10, 31 on 2k11(best game ever made) ,and greatest of all time on 2k16. I reached greatest of all time at the age of 41. Unfortunately 2k16 was the last game Ive played because I have arthritis on my right thumb and left index finger. I truely miss playing with my Thunder! My username was Kenloe1935 for PS3 and imover40 when I switched to PS4.

[@elario6319]

2k9 was not ready to be released.

[@basketballgenesis8969]

can't wait for the 2k10 review , my first 2k

[@scratchindonuts7903]

My first 2k game. The first team I played with were the Pistons with Billups, Rip, Tayshaun, Rasheed and I think Ben Wallace but he might have been with the Bulls that year. Anyways, great memories.

[@jasonchapman7887]

Mounta90 Ben Wallace was on the Cavs

[@therealronniej]

Intro and Outro🔥🔥

[@wyattcorbin1629]

I really would appreciate some more historic team reviews, especially the 05 Spurs.

[@slimmachado5405]

Chris smoove pretty much started his career off of roasting this game.

[@VidiSLTU]

I playing in 2023 ! This game is awesome 😏 nostalgy for me. ✔️

[@erikdahler5227]

I dig the Ratchet and Clank music in the background

[@Armani_Vis]

If im not mistaken 2k13 took away the import season team which is when i stop playin it was fun to play ya custom team against ya friend team

[@DjGo99]

2k games on the 360 looks way better then the ps3 at the time

[@christianjames6256]

That intro tho 🔥🔥🔥

[@mikeclarke3990]

Love 2k9 cuz KG but 2k11 prob still my fav

[@el_dank_sinatra]

“The basketball went from looking like a piece of clay to a real life textured basketball” that line killed me 😂😂😂

[@AfricanH3ro]

2k9 was my first 2k

[@blubbershoot7030]

wow so many new futures

[@tanakid777]

L-A-X was The Game. I know this is purely anecdotal and you don't have to believe me on this, but I got into a 2K8 league with him, and went 1-1 against him. He used a mic, and from his voice it was pretty obvious it was him.

[@ajrivera0804]

Going back from the earlier days of this game my brother said to me that this game is the successor of nba live 08, he was very astonished. Funny, little did we know that this game is made by 2k not EA. This is the start of the rise of 2k, we were shock and very impressed with the graphics and realism back then. Good old days. Fact, this game was the first NBA 2k ever released to PC.

[@00hunna60]

2k9 was the first 2k I owned for 360 because I'm a Boston fan but before that I was a live guy until they died out with NBA elite 11 and bought 2k10-18

[@Shinobi6407]

I remember when Dom was ranking his favorite teams in 2K history. He mentioned the OP Kevin Garnett from this game.

[@dadillonful]

shit looks better than live 19

[@lordpookie]

dadillonful no

[@FR0Z0NEkeys]

Better than 2K19

[@patrickmccabe7034]

“Recorded on a potato”😂😂

[@shemkamau2183]

Do a video on who you think should win every award this year. Since the award show is coming up.

[@martindl86]

I loved playing with D Wade in 2k9, he used to go off

[@nicklambert2075]

Tournaments need to be added back, such a simple feature and no point for it not to exist

[@marcogonzalez1498]

I love these vids. 😂

[@dmstd2159]

When the channel that has 2K in its name isn't the gaming channel.

[@TheAlex445]

I remember being at Walmart back when they had the demo ps3 and I thought it was a real game Fr.. but at that time I still had a ps2 so I was very impressed

[@basketballgenesis8969]

The music at the beginning is amazing, specific link to it would be great

[@noahmaddox4533]

RIP GOAT playoff series...😢

[@dgodm7541]

The game was also leading the leaderboards in madden at one point. I loaded in a lobby that he was in and he was a 99ovr like a 3 months ago

[@dgodm7541]

Also there a video on KZbin saying he was leading the leaderboards in madden

[@tgreg9542]

Started with 2k5 I’m goated I played 2k2 on Dreamcast but I owned 2k5 on ps2 got it for ma bday but I already had live 05’ so I was lit

[@cntfoolmebuddy]

*The game that spawned the addiction lol.*

[@pisceanDreams00]

I just bought 2k9. I wish you had a shot meter in black top mode like in the newer 2ks. I'm gonna play a season and see how I like it. P.s I also bought Madden 25 and I may as well throw it away. Dude this Madden 25 sucks. Also yes I buy old games and play them. SHOUT OUT TO THE STORE "" DISC RETAIL ""

[@thenbamixer8988]

When is the new episode coming out?

[@GabeGenesis]

Honestly, in terms of gameplay I give it a 7/10

[@shawndiebold]

This was my first 2k

[@KILLARAYMAN1]

This was my 1st 2k and I never looked back at Live after that lol

[@Adi-ox2sj]

It is The Game with the LAX, he plays games a lot, and he even has his xbox gamertag in his IG bio I think

[@bailey5437]

I’m still watching

[@Soldier979]

My first 2k game

[@Lenrom12]

LMFAOOOOOOO THE DUNKS WERE A FORCE

[@Jsmash_424]

My favorite 2k game

[@hitmanx2175]

The game where I dropped 101 with Jason Richardson against my homeboy and won 101-56

[@FrazySting]

It was nigh-impossible to block dunks and anything under basket in this game. The skill moves were confusing too. Everything else was awesome though. I wish they would bring back 2k9 Blacktop.

[@milehighcongress6762]

I remember getting this on my ps3 not too long after it released and couldn't believe the sixaxxis ft's lol I used to think that was cool

[@JMAC____]

I remember seeing the game

[@nolahoops7812]

2K9 was the greatest game off all time

[@seejayfranklin]

Steve Blake or BRoy to Greg oden was OP in this game cuz of Oden's dunk rating. Blake had a pass of like 90 so I'd cheese my opponents out and make passes through traffic to a cutting oden and spam dunks lmao
