NBA Live 09: Warriors @ Clippers
by 
While I continue to hold back on most of my general impressions it is evident the more I play the more I improve and get comfortable with Live 09. The first game was rough at times but things started to click in this game especially in the third quarter. Leading into the next full game you’ll be able to see my continued progression with Pick and Roll control, calling plays, and playing defense. Gambling on defense is punished pretty severely as the CPU rarely misses an open shot.
Continue on to view the Warriors vs Clippers on All-Star difficulty yet again and broken down by quarter.

wow I hope you can get your hands on NBA 2k9 early n show some game play for that because I swear this Live 09 is horrible. Now I know a bunch of EA Live lovers are going to come and defend their game but come on just look at it. Don’t be blind when it comes to game play, player movement, overall comparison to actual NBA games and players. Its embarrassing for EA to put a product out this bad n what is funny is you guys continue to support them. EA is all about money now they lost interest in putting out an good game while Take Two for 2k9 actually puts out products that are worth the price. i would never buy an Live game just look at the videos please.

when you mention 2k, make sure you say NBA2K, b/c everything else they touch is garbage!

Pasta, howzabout doing a vid from the “baseline high” camera angle??? Please!
Upset of the week……….Hawks 27 Giants 23
September 30, 2008 at 11:53 am
Just for that prediction I’ll do that for you sometime this week. Maybe just a quarter or something cause these are so time consuming, but I’ll get a vid with that camera angle.

Wow…the animations for this game are horrific. I’m very disappointed! I was hoping NBA live was going to compete this year with @k… but there is no contest. … the player movements and animations are just ridiculous… Ball glitching over to another hand… silly bumping animations… everything looks extrememly unrealistic.

I’m going with 2k this year too but I’ve seen 2k9 vids and there are some of the same issues… the seller for me is that 2ks gameplay is better than lives IMO, Lives gameplay still doesnt look or feel realistic enough for me to switch over.
September 30, 2008 at 12:06 pm
And what do you know, another NBA Live title that isn’t up to par. I would say I’m dissapointed but you had to have seen this one coming. SCRAP THE ENGINE AND START OVER EA.
September 30, 2008 at 12:09 pm
hey can u put a game up of the thunder on nba 2k9
September 30, 2008 at 12:14 pm

Off topic but i can guarantee this guy hasnt played all the games 2ksports has to offer, making this comment is easy when u haven played the games.

Well I’m not an EA lover, but I don’t share the sentiment that all the animations look unrealsitic or whatever. I think Live has made a visual improvement. I’ll admit that 2K has a better flow to their animations (they always have, in football and basketball) but that doesn’t mean this year’s live is crap!
Geez.
Anyway, I really don’t like the little hop, wanna be block animation. I would like for EA to decide if the player is going to go for the block or not… if not, a hand in the face animation or a running at the defender animation may work better. Those two inch hops are ridiculous.
Really liking the footwork in the paint this year.

September 30, 2008 at 1:59 pm
nba live may not have the best gameplay but it should be fun to play when you put down 2k9. One things for sure though is that the commentary is on point.
Pasta are there fiba rules in the fiba tournament?
September 30, 2008 at 2:02 pm
THAT DUDE WAS SNOOK FROM BEHIND…HOW WAS THAT FUNNY? That was pretty much how all hood fights end up. Someone taking a cheap shot. That dude was mentally retarded and they all laughed…..pretty cool group of “men”.

You obviously don’t read any posts here…..when I 1st got my Dreamcast (9/9/99) I had Iverson and Moss on the cover of my games of choice all the way up to CP3 and T.O. & NFL2K5.
NHL2K= garbage
MLB2K= trash………may be worst sports game in last 10 years
Don King Presents= garbage
Top Spin= who cares
NBA2K is good and all but the game appears to be at the end of it’s life cycle to me b/c I already know what to expect. Is it gonna be good…yes I said, but damn, give me something new to try. Getting kinda bored with it’s direction. Madden needs a facelift too IMO.

I was taught when i was growing up to never turn your back on someone your fighting. U know like in Karate how they teach to never take ur eyes off of the other person. He wasnt retarded either just stupid for being in someone elses hood talking $h!t.

You can say the game isnt as fluid as 2k yeah, but unrealistic are you kind me you act like there jumping from the free throw line, The animations can be good at times and bad at times but I cant say its unrealistic. And I know 2k gameplay is better so dont waste your time tellin me how great its is over LIve.
