Out today for NBA Live 09 Community Event

UPDATE: Unfortunately we have been asked to hold back on posting details from the event until sometime next week. I’ll have a ton of info and impressions to share at that point.

I expect to be away from the computer for most of the day due to the NBA Live 09 Community Event. The schedule is packed full of play time along with producer presentations and interaction. The NBA Draft follows and I’m unsure if I will have an online connection during that time. Continue to drop any thoughts or suggestions you’d like me to consider here and I may be able to take note of them.

In the meantime check out some of the latest screenshots for the game in the gallery, most of which are not very inspiring and one in particular that is terrible. Visuals have been one of the strengths of the Live series the last few years so it is worth noting that the images that EA has released for 09 are not impressing to the same extent. In the end though the more important thing will be how it all comes together during gameplay.

Can you change player’s gear (shoes, armbands, headbands)? Can player be set to have only one position ( Shaq having to be a Center / Foward)?

first of all the screen shots look terrible but that does not tell whether the game is good or bad i just hope that it has updated arena names like the izod center and more alternate and throwback jerseys like the sixers red alternate jerseys and also new presentation like madden steve kerr is not an anouncer anymore he is gm with the suns but it is early in development

I love this site, but I’m not excited at all about Live 09. I was a huge ea guy until around 2003 when it seems that at least on the basketball side they dropped the ball(pun intended). I still play Madden and NCAA religiously but Live is just bad. Just had to get that out.

Hey while you are up there doing the devils bidding, could you pass on a note to the Wii devs and let them know that while making ports of games is fun, leaving KG as #21 is not.

I could hire a monkey who could catch this stuff. I mean you can’t even get QA from EA on screenshots.

Ask Mike Wang and the other former 2k producer if they think that live 09 will be better than 2k8, or 2k7?

Pasta, please spread the word on the messed up jerseys. I’ ve already warned Julien Carron (presentation and visuals producer) on the official NBA Live forum and he gave me his word that he was aware of that. But those new screenshots are scaring me to death. Besides, this has nothing to do with the new clothing engine. NBA Live 08 had the same problem with 3rd uniforms. Please Bryan, make an extra effort on this, the game MUST not ship that way. Thanks.
