First NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video

I really like the vid of this. When I saw OJ Mayo on the court it got me all excited in my pants

Rudy Gay still (from what I could tell) looks like his NBA Live 08 virtual counterpart which in turn looks nothing like the real person but at least he is moving more fluid and not a complete piece a crap.

The circus layup that iggy did…dwade did that in the 06 finals

Looks good and fluid, I love the animations where the plays fall. The problem is it’s not showing us really anything. No misses keeps us from judging rebound improvements. For all the talk abut Defense finally being affective in a basketball game you don’t see it’s use here.

Basically the demo is to one sided. Just to much offense only. But still impressive from what I can see.

is there going to be injuries in the game like during the middle of a game and a person gets fouled will they go to a cutscene were the person is injured

Seems a lot better than last year. I like how the players fall, seems like Wade is going to fall every time he gets the ball XD That’s good though because it would be realistic and one of the reasons I like D-wade is because he showboats especially when he is on the floor after an and1.

Pasta,
What is your take on the lack of defense in the gameplay video. Do you think that it is something artificial used to create a video or is this how the defense will actually play?

This finally looks playable. But still has a ways to go b4 its on 2K’s level

The footage came from several different matchups, given that it could be that they were just isolated plays that whoever created the video wanted to show off. If anything it was too difficult to drive past a defender in the build we played.

Thank you Pasta, finally a guy with sense, these dudes act like they saw a full game or even a possesion. Cant you tell they were showing off the moves(by the way looked great)

SO WHAT with all the FOOTAGE that’s been shown it’s CLEAR it ain’t _______ wit 2K especially NOT 2K9

ACCEPT that as a FACT & if YOu CAN’T RESPECT that
ur whole PERSPECTIVE is WHACK ! ! !

haha sdot get ready to get bashed hard by some fanboys

sdot get your lips off 2k azz

Not wade and sdot again these fanboys give me pains in the back of my head

2 Armando I always come to the game suited up & ready 2 play

wade GREAT comeback that’s when you know you RIGHT when they CAN’T come up wit N E thing “LEGIT”2 say that’s when dey start wit da names what next YOU gonna call me a 2K employee or sum STUPID ISH

I SWEAR D’s lil dudes is FUNNY

it’s BUDDENS vs RANSOM all ova again

2 Huddy it’s NOT fanboyism when it’s da TRUTH unless YOU consider sayin things like MIKE is the G.O.A.T & KOBE is the Best in the League FANBOYISM TOO

game looks good. I’ll play it. I’ll still buy 2k9 first. since iverson was on the cover.

nevermind sdot

E u right 2k looks and plays better. we not saying live is trash, we saying that its not better than 2k. Thats like saying Joe Johnson isnt better than Kobe. That doesent make Joe Johnson trash, hes just not as good as Kobe

LOL@comparing 2K and Live to Kobe and Jordan. More like Tryonne Lue and Smush Parker, and yes Sdot, you’re the biggest fan boy on here. You’ve been called out, put on blast enough times by people on here and you take it so personal and start talking about being a “real balla” and what not, which made me chuckle. Trust me, I’ve played more real ball than you ever will. Been coached by NBA level coaching, trust me when I say I KNOW the game of basketball. You act like the NBA 2K series is the perfect game. Was it the best bball game? Yes. But that’s not saying much. All basketball games have been bad. Both Live and 2K were HEAVILY flawed, full of exploits, lack of features, lack of ingenuity, graphics, predictable A.I., sliding, lack of defensive controls/animations, recycled commentary (even though Live flows better)…we could go on for days…. Both games need a lot of work. NBA Live seems to address a lot of their issues, and I wish NBA 2K8 would do the same (not to say they aren’t). 2K8 has been the better game, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, but it’s success is heavily dependent on the failures of NBA Live. Both are bad games, flat out and for you 2K fanboys to say “it’s the greatest ball game out there” you’re absolutely right! I couldn’t agree with you more. But just because it’s the best basketball game out there, doesn’t necessarily make it a great game.

sdot rebuttal in 5…4…3….2…..1 (owned)

cabrillo24,

couldn’t have been better said.

Alright sdot let me put an end to this junk. Nba live is good and nba 2k is good. Sdot if you dont like live then why the hell do you keep commenting on how horrible the game plays lol sdot why dont you go work for 2ksports so your tongue can be closers to there asses lol

ouch!!
