NBA Live 09 Be A Pro

I’ve believed for a long time that a Superstar type mode was best suited for a basketball game. This year we have that in NBA Live 09 with the introduction of Be A Pro. The mode, which has been a huge success in games such as NHL and FIFA, is not nearly as fleshed out here. Actually it would be difficult to describe it as a mode. It is just a one game experience taking over an existing player. Really it is probably best used as practice for Online Team Play.

A few notes to pass along on Be A Pro that caught my attention. Regardless of whether or not your player is the inbounder you have to pass the ball in which seems odd. You can call for the pass with A and because of that it almost feels like the offense will always run through your player. After a rebound making an outlet pass is a dangerous proposition as it seems if you pass to anyone other than the PG that player will pass it quickly to the PG which can result in a backcourt violation. Continue on for a full quarter video of Be A Pro as I control Dwight Howard.

does the crowd ever get into the game in NBA Live? I’ve seen 2k9 and the crowd is extremely reactive to the game action which pulls you in even more. i hope i just need to see more of Live 09 because the crowd doesn’t come close to the audio. Or maybe they need to show the fans up in the nose bleed seats a little more!

Yeah I felt the crowd wasn’t as loud at certain points as they should’ve been. Once I got to a 4th quarter of a close game though they woke up (Thunder vs Hornets game I’ll have up late tomorrow or Wednesday)

Just putting player lock on and using the player lock camera angle, you can get a better experience with 2K. as long as they didnt take it out of 2k9. its been in for a few years.
