NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video

advantage sean 06 LOOKS BETTA

[quote comment="33509"]from this vid the only thing I take question with is chest passes look like they have the same speed as the more lobbed passes. Did you notice this when you played the game, padre?[/quote]

Passing in general is what I found to be the most pressing issue with the game. There were various problems in that area.

there were various problems in all areas STEVEN A.

side note dat NBA 09 looks aight from far away da close ups R WEAK but from a distance it’s aight might be able 2 actually consider buyin it in a yr or 2 if dey keep makin strides

ESPECIALLY if/when EA buys out & dissolves the BEST B-BALL GAME EVA

come on NBA 11

The video speaks for itself. 2K9 without even having to dissect the inadequacies of this game in comparison to 2K8, 2K7, 2K6, hell even going back to the dreamcast 2K1, it does not match up. I will end any long winded diatribe and refer any person doubting which bball game to purchase this year to that video. No youre eyes arent lying, yes it is probably the final build if not damn near the final build. WE DONT BELIEVE YOU EA YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE!

HA HA HA dat was funny

nobody believes EA N E more their credibility DEAD

datz Y i’ma saty DOWN WIT DA KIIIIIINNNGGG

I cant wait to buy nba live 2009. i am a live fan and i hate the 2k games. yes i am a 2k hater. i think they suck.

Hey dude, whatever happened to your campus legend reports. Those were always awesome and had me riveted to your site, but now, your site has become a breeding ground for mediocrity. I really enjoyed it when I was able to follow it last year and this year I check for it everyday and all I get is Facebreaker. I am trying to be patient and for the last year or so, you have been my main source for sports gaming news, but I am missing your indepth analysis. Like I stated, I feel like as readers we are being shorted some great reading in favor of your”line drive”. Hit us with some hard perspectives and some of your personal experiences all the way through a game. That is all, I really do appreciate all you write and hope for more from you.

Hey Pasta, did you hear from Julian yet about Team Play substitutions?

MUCH better than last year, i hope to see more of these vids

You Ea haters are so corny I’m not gonna buy a Ea game cause I’m saving world hunger if I don’t, give me a break.. If you really like 2k that much stick with it nobodys foricing you to play live.

2k9 proable will be better o well, when it comes the video the only thing i didnt like was the passing. Also the lack of depth of signature shots. But I think It looks good.

hey pasta,

was wondering if it’s official about the edit player feature this year. is it open as oppose to last year when everything was locked??

super-fan, there will be an edit player feature this year. From what I’ve read though, there might be locks on certain items (headbands)

Passing is improved, I noticed players stepping out to get the pass…that was a nice small touch. But there are some passes that are floaty. All in all this game is shaping up pretty good. I can see the game overrall possibly getting a higher score overall for improved game play and features. This is going to be an interesting year for basketball.

All I have to say is…..I hope playing defense actually works this year on Nba live 09…I’m tried of seeing the spin move and dunk with Kobe.

I also hope that 2k does not make another game where all you have to learn is the shot release to be successful. If you have it down (the shot) you can shoot a good percentage from almost half court (real talk).

I think you exaggerate but I know what you mean. I could not make mid range shot with Paul Pierce despite his mid rating in the 90s. I could never time his shot right. I really hope NBA Live is great this year but it is nice to have another title to fall back on unlike the NFL and MLB (I have an Xbox 360).

thanks JR,

are you sure it’s just (headbands)?

to all the 2k fans:i was a huge 2k fan bball & fball.way back on the dreamcast those titles were way before there time. but when the next gen systems came out,2k didn’t make any real strides interms of effects/player models.in my opinion all there pre next gen games are way better looking than current gen.

interms of game play,2k wins that battle hands down.i’ll go as far to say live hasn’t had good game play since LIVE 95,IMO.. 2k from dreamcast to now has killed live in overall gameplay forever.. but graphics,EA wins,hands down!!!

a bottom line is EA ain’t ______ wit 2K & datz all there is 2 it

live>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.2k

NEVA ! ! !

EA is a hustler baby they will sell ice in the winter,fire in hell,they’ll even sell water to a well!!!

I think this is a great year for basketball games. For the first time since 2005, I feel that EA is putting out a quality game. 2K will hopefully do the same. Basketball if my favorite sport, and I’m tired of being dissapointed. The lesser of two evils shouldn’t be my option every year.

See this is why I enjoy competition… EA has deff stepped it up this year in improving the GAMEPLAY and presentation because 2k has an amazing basketball franchise. Now if only the NFL could stop being so damn greedy and give that license to more than one company all of us consumers would be able to choose quality games because as much as maddens “improving” I feel like they need a fire lit under there ass to make an amazing game. Dont get me wrong I rented Madden (and will probably buy it when patch 2 comes out if it fixes the franchise issues) and its a great game but it could be so much better.

Still looks stiff and lifeless compared to 2K, IMO.
