First NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video

first to say this game still looks horrible

wow ever since next-gen ive always bought 2k but ea really looks good this year

wit the exception of the last lay up by iggy lay ups still look terrible when are they gonna address that b/c not every drive ends wit a DUNK

side note pasta is there any reason why you seem too wait until live vids are posted in websites other than IGn B4 you post them ?? cuz this is the 2nd time I thought it was gonna be something NEW only too realize I seen it already

“IF U AIN’T 1ST UR LAST”

s dot can u please stop with the if ur not 1st ur last

I’m a big fan of the game, as well as 2K. After watching that video, I am impressed, but……………This build looks way to easy to dribble to the hoop and get a basket, EVERYTIME. The player speed looks to fast…….. At about the 14 second mark, it shows Parker (I think) driving to the hole, get past two defenders and then put up a rainbow tear drop that looked all messed up. First off, to put up that shot in that situation makes no sense. You risk getting blocked by either defender behind you. The more sensible shot would have been an easy lay up, away from the defenders. and I’d like to think Parker is smart enough to do that. Aside from that, the animations look SPECTACULAR. The fluidity looks solid and the cameras flashing are a nice addition. This game is going to be a good one, especially for those of us who enjoyed last years game. Looking forward to the release. Thanks for posting the video pasta.

pasta actually said in his impressions that it was too difficult to drive to the basket. so either this is lower difficulty, easier to do it to the cpu than another person, or theyve made it easier since

graphics still blow 2k away and the gameplay seems to be getting there sooo EA will get my business

2 answer Pat’s ? read my response 2 sum1 who previously asked me that in the FACE BREAKER thread

IF ur NOT 1st ur Last

WTF have YOu seen the stills comparison of Live & 2K in the gallery 2K looks far better than Live with their TERRIBLE player 2 court proportions everbody in Live seems 2 have the KG / Prince body type BIG guys look skinny & skinny short guys (ie AI) look extra tiny

Every time I see even a second of gameplay it blows away my expectations. Everything so far is much more fluid and solid. If Madden had a true competitor maybe EA would do the same

Hey Pasta, I remember hearing something about a shot meter in the game. Are they still including that or has it been completely scrapped?

The shot meter is only displayed in the NBA Academy for practice purposes.

Looks improved but still not as fluid as 2K. Looks like there’s too much sliding on the court & the passing stills needs to be improved.

PASTA why kaman is not in the germany team?

wasnt showing off the “Team DNA” stuff, looks like u give it to someone and go to the basket on every highlight. No offense being run just freestyle basketball. I have to admit it didnt look robotic and they had some sick animations too. Ill proly buy both this year 2k on release date and NBA Live sometime next March wen its low.

2k9 will be KING again.

KG NBA CHAMPS BABY.

the gameplay has improved but probably wont have better gameplay than 2k this year could be the best 2k vs ea

2k9 will suck

Positively its got some new animations, the game is more fluid, if I would not know 2k8, I was saying live 09 is a good game.

But

-players still looks like 12 years old thin scoolboys in a gym;

-you can not feel the players body, no body vs body matchups, the defenders can not make stops, you can trick them with a simple crossover;

-Bargnani made that “fade-away-big-hoop-jump-away-from-the-basket-with-a-strange-shot” . I hate it, its so unrealistic, 2k8s got a lot of that.

-The dunks are still like marionetts on a wire…

-I think, realistic cloth phisic itself makes the 2k graphics superior, this is a big disadventage for live.

-I know, it is a beta, but players (defensive) looks mindless, it is boring to see, all the players are getting back to D at the very same moment, same speed.

I cant lie EA has finally made the right steps towards making a great game. But it looked entirely 2 easy score on there. No strategy or ne thing. I also didnt like how some players still stood around like zombies. But 2k still gets my business cus i kno their a safe bet. Live is makin strides. Im impressed

this game looks amazing pasta

wow i guess they are going to see if they can have the score overlay actually be directly in the center of the screen by 2011

move it up please

This game still looks like pure trash

looks better than last year

why do people say 2k is gonna suck is it because your ea fanboys and now are happy because finally ea is making a good game 2k is not gonna suck i dont think some of you realize that 2k is getting better like if you have anything to say about 2k it has to be good because 2k defintely does not suck
