Worth your cash
PostedApril 26, 2009
This is the best basketball game I've ever played. I don't own the game but I play with my friend. NBA live 09 lets you download dynamic dna which lets you replay recent games. You can also choose a team and becoame head coach in Dynasty mode. The graphis are amazing and its really life like. The only thing that stinks is that you cant throw an aly-oop pass. But the overall gameplay is awesome. You can also trade players in Dynasty mode, get updates on simulated player injury and players can be found by your scout and be possibly drafted. Dynasty mode is awesome you can update your schedule and change your schedule. There is also all star weekend with 2 on 2 ,3 point contest, and dunking contest. I personaly think 2 on 2 is the best. Well the overall game is just great.

Well i bought live 09 about 3 weeks ago i already had 2k but 2k was getting boring so i bought live its like a 2 second delay you hit threes in your spot the game is great but not better than 2k so when i get bored of 1 play the other. Be a pro is very good your 1 person i played it 1 time and i won. If you want to decide get both but 2k first. LIve people are with a big body . But its ok for now. i wish it would stop cheating me don't get me wrong 2k cheat you to but not like when you play the computer in live. The full court shots are great it go in a lot. I need to find a team to play i as trying with the suns but it kept coming down to buzzer beating shot i hated it but when playing this game i noticed something it gets real at 1 point then start cheating. If I were you get both.

BEST B-BALL GAME OUT
PostedMarch 3, 2009
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BASKETBALL GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED, i played the demo back in october and i loved it and i bought it about a month later. then they start the season and the 365 updates get going. the reason this game is so good is because of all the new features and game modes. the gameplay is ok but it isn't that bad the game is also a little glitchy but glitches don't bother me unless they prevent me from playing the game so overall the game is really great. With the addition to nba live rewind and nba live 365 and all the other new features are all so good that i just had to give this game a 10/10.In my opinion it is way better than nba 2k9 which really has no defense. I also like the gameplay, because of the new signature playcalling, so now i can run the nuggets fast paced offense and the lakers triangle offense. Putting all of these new features together and you will get NBA LIVE 09, the bset basketball game out right now.

The Best Basketball Game Ever!!!!
PostedFebruary 25, 2009
NBA Live 09 is the best of all the basketball games on the market today. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is realistic, and the controls are great. I like the FIBA Tournament in this game. This really proves that basketball is a global game, and this feature is one of my favorites. The 3 point contest is better than ever, and the dunk contest is better than in years past. When I'm playing NBA Live 09, it feels like I'm right there in the crowd. That's how good the graphics are. The sound is excellent too. It's pretty cool to be able to hear the net when you make a 3 pointer. In my opinion, NBA Live 09 is the best basketball game ever made, and possibly one of the best sports games of all time. If you want a realistic basketball game, this is the one!!!!!! Can't wait for NBA Live 2010!!!!!!! Keep up the good work EA Sports!!!!!!
