Earlier today Gamespot hosted a live stage show demonstration of NBA Live 09 which included producer Brent Nielson. Of course one of the main topics discussed was the recently announced 365 and the player DNA along with “Rewind”. There is a great deal of gameplay shown throughout the 10 minute video along with the demonstration of signature play calling. It is also mentioned that the demo for the game should be out around mid-September.

Continue on to watch the video and be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments.

    are u blind or just a 2k fanboy havent you seen the videos read any of the blogs?[/quote]

    no i buy both games because i enjoy both but live's gameplay may have improved but it will not be better than 2k's[/quote]

    Pat,

    Same here, man. That's why I'm getting both too. Looks like Live '09 is improved over last year. And I missed out on 2K8, and 2K9 looks much better than last year's game.

    Brad, don't worry about sdot, he's a "special" one. One or two of his breed usually pop off in here once or twice a year.
  • brad
    sdot, come watch my mouth for me. Lol, you're funny kid.
  • JG
    Pasta,

    How will DNA affect how you manage your dynasty? For example does it make sense to make trades (if you manage a team that has a goal of improving it's roaster)? What would be the point of the practice facility? Wouldn't the stat tracking of DNA's daily updates overwrite all of this?

    At any rate this is a great feature and very welcomed. I'm really looking forward to both titles this year and especially Live. Hopes that gameplay is solid (fingers crossed).

    Thanks,

    NBA Live 2009 wins best Innovation with Dynamic DNA at E3.
  • brad you pussy watch ur mouth
  • cabrillo24
    Pasta I'd love to get in an online league with you, pre-registration?
  • hey pasta will u nba live 09 have a demo and when is it coming out....


    peace....
  • brad
    sdot, you sound depressed or something, why don't you get off the live website or go jump off a cliff. We've already heard a thousand times how you feel. Just go find some 2k nuts to jump on "real baller".
  • pat
    honestly its too late for ea ....2k has been producing a good nba game every year and now ea is finally getting it right and we should finally give them credit that is ridicoulous ea should at least at least had a gret game by 06 but no we have to wait untill 09 are you kdding and 2k has always been good sorry ea your time has ended
  • like I said I want/HOPE LIVE is GOOD being that Ball is my fav sport so I have NO qualms with buying 2 B-BALL games a year i'd buy 3 if NBA 09 was any good now that they got the LIFE

    it's NOT HATE it's just me & my NY state of mind meaning I refuse to sit there & let EA HUSTLE me out of my $$$
  • fam again you couldn't be farther from the tryth you don't see how many diff post my name is in I read everything related Basketball from pasta, GSpot, IGN, NBA Live.com I know exactly what i'm talking about it's ya'll who by games strictly off ur affection' BLIND FAITH who don't know what ur talkin bout

    every year EA drops a game be it football or B-Ball fans complain they say they will fix it next year then they hype ya'll about how MUCH BETTER this iteration will be & ya'll STRANGELY believe them & then ya'll complain all about all the things they didn't fix both BIG & SMALL from GPLAY 2 being able to edit players to lighting

    enough sdot u dont know what your talking about give it up your being bias. Its obvious that you never read any blogs or previews here read this http://nbalive09.nba-live.com/communityday/
  • see G2thecore just prove my point casual fans like Live cuz it's simple 4 any1 2 play just hold turbo tap up 2 spin & dunk that's why people who understand the game of B-BALL ie REAL Ball Players appreciate 2K

    I mean you can really feel the diff when playin with LeBron or Kobe or AI thanx to signature PACKAGES NOT BULL____ ya'll call GO 2 moves in Live every single 1 of those quote go 2 moves is in Live Literally plus they have way more sig shots plus nice little touches like player mannerism that just add 2 the OVERALL REALISM
  • alex1
    i feel like EA is doing useless stuff that no one will care about after a month. this is a waste for millions of dollars for them.
  • JR
    Pasta for President.
  • Mike Barrameda
    Lets just hope this year's NBA Live wont dissappoint us.
  • pat
    [quote comment="29209"]im so sorry pasta but this looks the exact same as 08 (which is bad). it might be different when you play it[/quote]

    why is that bad if it looks the same live has always had good graphics the only problem is gameplay which we wont be able to tell is until we play it
  • g2thecore
    So much hate......Anyways, from what I've seen...it's looking better than year's past....I might actually buy a basketball game this year. I think 2K is great but it's too complicated for casual bball gamers like me. I'd rather run with Live because it's more casual oriented. Otherwise as far as realism and animations, I give 2K the edge.
  • huddy187
    yea dna is a great idea i dont know whats his problem, these 2k fannys relentless they dont quit. Leo when the last time 2k scored a 9 or a 10 or even a 8.9. Leo just angry because 2k didnt do it. I dont care if dna is in live or 2k it really is a ground breaking feat, and i cant wait to get it. 2k would never buy live.
  • JR
    Actually when you look into DNA it's pretty damn interesting. In theory the A.I. should play a lot better, and play to the tendencies of the players. Interesting to see if they'll utilize DNA for the defensive end in the future. LEO, apparently you didn't even look into this article. As a fan of sports in general you have to appreciate this technology. I have a feeling if this was being used by 2K, you'd be praising them and building a shrine for them.
  • leo
    Are u serious? Their big change is DNA? I am a gamer, i don't care how many years worth of stats i have access to. THis is precisely why i run solely with 2K. The gameplay, hands down better, fluidity of the game is second to none. 2K needs to buy the rights to the NBA like EA did with the NFL. But i guess when your second and not first you do what you can to boost your sells. EA, basketball games are not your strong point!!!!! 2K keep up the good work!
  • JR
    LOL@this guys logic. Seriously man, give it up. Is 2K paying you?
  • it's simple math if 1 car A) leaves at 1:00pm traveling 65 mph & car B) leaves at 4:00pm traveling at 55 mph how long would it take car B 2 catch up to car A


    answer it won't unless car A comes to a STOP

    Live is improving their game but so is 2K & with 2K's Lead Live won't be able to catch it
  • JR
    Exactly. Fanboyism is running rampant on these message boards, especially from sdot.
  • huddy187
    its only commen sense if you played it 2k9 and live 09 you cant really compare until you played them both
  • JR
    Based off looking at the video, I'm really beginning to wonder if the crowds will be an annoyance more than an enhancement. I would really like to see a game implement varying crowd sizes. For example, Memphis should be a ghost town, while Boston should be packed. Your level of play, record and organization prestige should dictate how many fans show up to the games. Maybe an owner mode?
  • David
    2k9 is boring
  • Yeah 365 works with Xbox Live Silver. It's basically along the lines of the ESPN Radio and the Ticker in how it streams in.
  • huddy theres a diff in being a Hater & being a Realest I know how EA treats their games
    I also know how BAD NBA Live 07 was
    I also NBA Live 08 was an improvement
    but lastly I know how much further ahead 2K is & how much ground Live needs to make up so despite the Hype machine
    I know Live 09 can't be better than 2K in the GPLAY department


    that's NOT HATE it's common sense
  • huddy187
    all of these live haters are making my head hurt :(
  • alex1
    im so sorry pasta but this looks the exact same as 08 (which is bad). it might be different when you play it
  • pat
    people are hating on ea becuase they are known to dissapoint a lot like in next gen maddens and remeber live 07 that was absolutely terrible but 08 was improved and hopefully it will get to the point where its at its best thats why 2k and ea is a bad comparison right now because neither game is not where they should be
  • jeremy
    cant wait to get this game!!!, so pasta i heard on another site that u can get updates with just a silver membership? is it true or do u still have to be a gold member to get these updates??
  • Josh
    Why are the people in the crowd bigger than the players on the court? WTF? If you look closely watch when players are at the bottom of the screen. One the people in the crowd stood up & was like a foot taller than Rajon Rhondo. People in the crowd on the bottom of the screen are like 8 feet tall & a lot larger than the players. Just seems off but other than that the game looks improved although still not as fluid as 2K. I guess EA is taking baby steps.
  • chopstixxx148
    i agree with DUANEOLA

    a lot of people do hate on live
