NBA Live 09



The DNA mode thing is ingenious, I will probably buy the game just because of that.

NBA 2k9



Not noticing any major differences from 2k8... The replay after the quarter is a nice touch though.

Thoughts?

That DNA feature does look great. This game coming out on PS2? DNA wouldn't really work then though.

The difference is, graphics. In 2k8, and the gameplay a bit (like some of the moves peirce was pullin was different from 2k8) And the court looks bigger.

Gameplay in the 2k games is always better, but that DNA feature sounds sick. Just imagine never having to toy with rosters, because it will be updated daily. Sounds like a gift from God to me.

So if Rasho Nesterovic got hot again, like he did at the end of last season, he'd be hot in game? Sounds kinda cool, but Live relies on gimmicks too much. I'll definitely give it a rent, but I'll buy 2K9.

Definitely get 2k9 first man, you won't be disappointed. Guaranteed. I've been waiting for Live to step it up for years, the way the players move is still bothering me, but I'll have fun with DNA mode. Hopefully players are customizable this time.

I see your gif, pworld. Worst NBA fight ever, both were scared to throw real blows. Lol @ Kobe flinching on the first punch.

Lol? DNA may sound sweet, but 2K9's gameplay will always be better and always has. I know Lives graphics were better but some of the graphics sucked. I saw a screen for Rudy gay on Nba live 09 from IGN it didn't look no where near him.And the players upper bodies didn't seem right. Only 2k8 graphic issue to me is the arms, some look fake as shit.And Creating someone the body types suck, also faces too.

And yeah KBD, but Chris Childs is raw for not taking shit from anyone. IMO worst nba fight ever is any Shawn Bradley fight, dude is straight up sloppy. I lol'd when Bradley got picked him and slammed by someone like 10 inches under his height.

2k9 Always baby. The thing that they did at the end of the game on 2k8 is amazing. Watching Paul Pierce's 360 dunk as number one always makes my day.

I LOL at Pau i a Grizz uniform.

Live's graphics suck. Some of the head shapes and whatnot look better, but the jerseys don't look real or move realistically at all.

in 08, Glen Davis was dark as ****. so was PJ Brown. A lot of free agents didn't look at all like their counterparts. 2K has pretty much all the faces really close. Hell, even Danny Fortson looks dead on.

2K9 FTW, hands down, no questions asked.

2K7 was my first 2K game, and this whole time I thought 2K was a complete rip off EA.

Im all for gameplay, so I will get 2K89, and rent Live. If Live is really really good, then I might consider buying it.

ESPN NBA 2k5 was my first... Changed my life.

ESPN NFL 2k5 was a great game too, to this day I say it's better than any Madden game I've ever played. It was simple and fun yet realistic. Madden gets too complicated for me, I'm like forget it, don't got time for all this stuff.

Madden is way too unrealistic. Passes are always on target, if you have time to release it. There is no such thing as a bad pass in Madden. Plus unlimited turbo? That makes sense.

NFL 2K5, to me, is the greatest NFL game of all time. I love that game.

As for 2K9, I'm probably going to cop it when it comes out.

2K is not the greatest with faces either. Live has better graphics than 2K, but thats the only advantage they have.

I haven't got a NBA Live game since 2004 but got NBA Live 08 on PC and that was ok but I might get this on PS3. Looks decent and its been a while.

The defensive style thing may be pretty cool. Vujacic will have a cool signature style... he'll just stand there. ;)
Oh, and hourly roster updates? lol Live got one-upped again
