Let’s take a look back…way back…Īs I mentioned in my retrospective of NBA Live on PC, EA’s decision to discontinue the PC version came as a huge disappointment to our community. Since we’ve had a decade of NBA 2K gaming on PC at this point, I feel it’s worth reflecting upon the game that brought the series to a new audience of basketball gamers. When it was announced that NBA 2K9 would be coming out on PC, it came as tremendous news for a community that had felt abandoned by EA Sports. It feels like only yesterday that the series was a newcomer to the platform, but it has indeed been a decade.Ĭurrently the only sim-oriented title that’s still being released on PC, NBA 2K has kept basketball gaming alive on the platform. Another fact that may leave you wondering where the time has gone is the number of NBA 2K games that have come out on PC, which now stands at ten. It’s also a sign of how quickly the last few years have flown by, with LeBron’s tenure with the Miami Heat already becoming a distant memory. The fact that LeBron James is appearing in his eighth consecutive NBA Finals series hasn’t just sparked fierce debate among basketball fans in the endless Greatest of All-Time debate. This week, I’m taking a look back at NBA 2K9 on PC. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content.
