ok i wish they had create ur own team menu – live 2000
and keyboard control and game play like 2005.
06, 07 were just recycled and was trashy in my opinion.
i never bought a controller for pc and never will, i hope some of the moves can be done on pc keyboard. 2007 sucked at this.. 2005 control was best for keyboard.
ea should just make one nba live with awesome graphics and game play like 2005, and just have people buy roster patches.
every time they come out new game since 2005, it’s been very disappointing.

Live still doesn’t even have the net physics right. They don’t even have passing or rebounding right. I want Live to be good just as bad as you guys do but don’t act like Live is close to matching 2K’s fluid gameplay. Like some of you, I used to only buy EA Sports games just because of the EA logo but since Next Gen I’ve came to my senses. Let’s take the EA fanboy glasses off for a second a be real. Has Live improved? Yes. Is it on 2K’s level of realism? No. Live still has players pulling up for jump shots when they’re 1 foot away from the rim. WTF? The only reason I would consider buying Live this year is because of FIBA teams.

Ever since 2K7, 2K has had my attention but I like the “idea” of the OTP…and it is in quotations because from the past two EA releases (NCAA, MADDEN)…we have had patches to fix flawed gameplay. I’d rather wait for them to get it right then put it out. But I am seriously looking at Live for this feature…but 2K9 is good as BOUGHT. Live will probably be rented first before any purchasing thought is put into it

Both games were flawed last year and both will be flawed in their respective areas this year….. and so on and so on. If you guys haven’t realized that by now you’re all phucking idiots. I buy both games but usually play 2k.

sdot, what are you going to do when EA purchases take2

Thats a good question, Huddy.

I loved Live from 1997 to 2001, then something has happened. The magic has gone, they just updated the rosters every year, and the Live community’s patches and updates kept the game alive during the next 5 years.

You know, EA (and everyone) needs the negative criticism to improve, not to lay back with self-satisfaction, as they used to. As I see, criticism has got more sense and effect, than only saying “wow, great, i buy it”. Where should I do it, if not on an EA fansite?

I feel like EA just ate up players trust, they need some whipping to get closer to 2k. EA is producing good games, I hope, Live shall be one of them in the near future…

It is just my bad experience from the past (from 1997), that nba live 09 do not deserves positive previews. You can only hope year by year, that it wont be worst, than the last years edition. I am just smiling on naive people, who believes all the miraculous thing, what EA says to them. The essencial of the EA marketing is to sell a Suzuki, as it would be a Lexus.

Yes, I am a nba 2k fanboy, I am sorry, I love quality simulation basketball games.
