Live 09 is a lot of fun. If you're just looking for something to play, then this game will be right up your alley. It will delight fans of the NBA and fans of the series. Good graphics, sound, smooth gameplay. It's all good.

The game is just another amazing development out of EA's workshop. The graphics were very good i dare say great (epespecially for xbox 360). The sound was very good almost like your actually watching a game. The only bad thing i can say is that making trades and signing players is sort of hard and if the cap room sucks then ur screwed. But overal i like it so it gets 9/10
Graphics-the player models are pretty good except alot of the faces are bad like Dwight Howards face is terrible.The courts are also pretty good except for like 2.the lighting is great it makes the game look real. Gameplay-the gameplay is ok the players run to slow which makes it hard to fastbreak.The palyers pass to slow and that creates alot of turnovers.Also its to easy to get in the paint.Freethrows are to easy even with shaq.Features-the features in this game is great it has up to date rosters so when I play the rosters are how they are in the nba so like if a player is injured you cant use him.Game modes-the game modes are great like be a pro is where you take controll of any palyer in the nba like kobe bryant and you controll him for the whole game.Also they have the nba allstar weekend which has the three point shootout which is really fun and the dunk contest which is kind of hard.So nba live 09 doesnt have the best gameplay but you will still have lots of fun playing!

the 365 is awesome and the be a pro and the season mode and slam dunk contest and stuff. but some of the bad things are FREE THROWS there way too easy even shaq makes them like there nothing so thats pretty fake. and people are making 3's from almost half court and doing dunks from the free throw line and some of the players cant even make a lay up when there wide open and pretty much if your going for a lay up and it hits the back board you are gonna miss cause thats just the way it is. but beyond playing online the game is fun. and if your gonna play ranked online dont choose a sucke team cause they will always choose one of the best teams in the game like lakers or cavs and just use kobhe or lebrpn the whole time. and defense is pretty hard i dont even know what kind of D too play cause its hard and some times if there on a fast break your players will move out the way w/o you doing anything. and i swear if your the away team you dont get no calls and you miss easy shots online. so i reccomend you dont play online if your new to the game.
