    Looks just like last years which was good, but who cares about close ups that arent actually what you will see when you actually play.

    2k will alway be good and Live will be better. 2k will always be more technically correct and live will always be more easily picked up.

    I have played 2k for the past 3 years and I gave up on 2k8 b/c of the lack of instructions on how to do anything in the game. I am not a mind reader and i dont remember the controls for every game i play especially the seasonal one like sports.

    yea instructions would help the game out alot because i didnt even know jamal crawford had his dribbling move he do. I hope 2k add instructions videos and
    bring back 24/7 mode. I have a gut feeling 2k will bring 24/7 mode back

    No it doesn’t look just like last year. If you look at the resolution it looks way better. 2K looks more like a real life game where as Live still has that unnatural look to it. 2K is still way more fluid than Live & they have 3 times as many animations. I’m sold. I don’t even need to see the game in motion because I already know 2K delivers in that area. 2K rules again and this is coming from a long time Live fan since the mid 90′s.

    They finally fixed the ball in 2K9 this year! I hated how the ball looked all fake last year. For those that say it looks the same as last year, you obviously have no idea how to notice improvements. Look at how much more realistic the crowd looks. Look at the overall body shapes. Look at the detail in their faces. Lives body types are all similar. I can’t wait for 2K9! I’ll get Live too because I always get both (I love basketball games) but I think 2K is going to blow us away as usual!

    it looks pretty good. i am not biased but 2k has not been up to par with live graphics but this year they have surpassed them. i still need gameplay to determine weather it will still be the basketball game king. but it prolly will be

    Timothy, whatever you are smoking, I want some of that. Live is the most unrealistic sports game I have ever laid my hands on. Easy to pick up? Yeah because you can score 70 points every game with Kobe. It’s a joke even on the hardest difficulty

    I was just gonna say that! I don’t need to see videos, in 2K’s case the pictures do say it all. 2K will rule again this year. Oh yeah, and this is coming from a Live fan.

    but maybe EA is SMARTER than I gave then CREDIT for B/C they do have the BETTER features ie NBA academy, AS weekend, DNA, FIBA

    they must have known eventually 2K’s GRAPHICS would catch up to it’s GPLAY & they are banking on these features to KEEP & try to get back their LIVE fans

    NBA 2K9 is a LOCK but I still might get LIVE if it doesn’t live up 2 the HYPE i’ll trade it for SR2
