One of the newest tweaks is the ability for the player to change their shot's trajectory in mid-air and an advanced AI that reacts to the players performance.
Players can also track their players performance, morale and attitude during franchise mode to keep their players happy and content with their place on the team.
There are also new cutscenes for the highlight reels and features online capabilities where players can compete in online leagues or face against another team head-to-head.
Players can also upload their created players along with custom made highlight reels that they can share on their respective online provider (the PS2 version does not feature this mode).
Clark Kellogg, Cheryl Miller and Kevin Harlan provide their voice talents to the game.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks NBA 2K9 for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding NBA 2K9 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2008.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for NBA 2K9, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
