In a surprise early release the demo for NBA Live 09 is now available for the 360. Given that this is a Thursday it could also bode well for the PS3 receiving it today, though no confirmation of that is available at this time. The demo wasn’t expected to be out until the second or third week of the month.

In the demo you can Play as the Celtics vs Lakers but EA has given the opportunity to play with them from different points in the season as a way to showcase the Live 365 and Player DNA features. You can play with them as current, from the 11/23/07 game, or from the 6/8/08 NBA Finals game. You can also shoot around in the practice gym. Several settings can be changed for the demo including difficulty level, sliders, rules, and camera angle. The quarter length is locked in at two minutes for one half of play.

Feel free to leave your thoughts on the demo in the comments or forum. I’ll have some videos up tonight and through the weekend along with some comparison thoughts to the build I played back at the community event.

I am going to said this I am fan of basketball, play the game in real life. I hate NY Knicks but thats beside the point. I been playing NBA Live since their first edition back in 1995 for super nintendo and the sega franchise. hands down NBA Live has destroy the 2k series every year with the exeption of 2002, 2007, 2008. as far as I seen and read as well play all I hear is that NBA Live 09 is going to do some serious damage to 2k9 which is the true I am the biggest fan of NBA Live out there but the truth is the truth NBA Live has lack on those year above but take this every year they improve. 2k series goes over board with the ratings of the players. their one fan already complaining that 2k9 Gilber Arenas has a rating of 95 went he was a bust last year. steve nash shooting 93 or 97? from behind the arc he is good 3 point shooter but not a 93 or 97? pleaese. no game is perfect but NBA Live & 2k are full of glitches. I said cause I been buying the botj game for the last 4 or 6 years. Hands down the promotions of NBA Live each years out of control to be honest they make sure they spent time promoting NBA Live so people go out and buy the game. sk promotions for 2k basketball franchise is cheesy to make simple. to put it at best the promotion level of NBA Live is the equivalent of a mercedes ben/ bmw compare to 2k at best you can said the equivalent of a toyota/kia. to said a problem I have with the 2k basketball game is the fact that they make a player more dominant than what they really are. my biggest promblem NBA Live is they fact they loose the focus from one year to the other.
