Thanks Pasta!!!!!!!!

comes out on tonight on xbox live not sure on ps3

pasta the trowback jersey are in the game?

are they going to patch in the new hornets court as well?

Live got a few players faces right, but they look like cartoons. Im not feelin it. The more i watch these vids of u playin the more i shy away from buyin the game.

Live is garbage plain & simple. You guys want Live to be good so bad that you keep telling yourself “It’s closing the gap, it’s getting better” so much that you’re starting to believe it. Get real. It’s 2009 & EA still hasn’t been able to make a basketball game that can even compare to their games back in the day. I used to buy only EA basketball games ever since Lakers vs Celtics up until about 2007 so I’m not being biased just being real. Live is garbabe in every aspect. They still don’t even have the net physics & animations right. WTF? When you dribble the ball magnetically warps to your hand. The passing is still off. You can still pass through players bodies. The game still isn’t fluid. Player models are off (thighs are thicker than calves WTF?). The artwork & the graphics make the players look like zombies & cartoony. I would even venture to say that NBA 09 is a more polished game than Live. It amazes me that people think this game is even close to 2K9. Don’t get me wrong, 2K isn’t perfect either (sliding) but the amount of detail that they put into 2K sets the standard for all sports games to follow. Everyone has the right to their opinion & there’s my 2 sense for the day. Enjoy Live everybody!

this is off-topic but i just got nhl 09 today for my b-day and was wondering if there r any spots left on the pasta padre team. if so, can u send an invite to my gt: bogglr

[quote comment="39299"]im sorry but everyone on the forums sounds like an idiot. now i buy both 2k and live every year. since 360 came out ive been playing 2k more than live until 08 while 2k was more realistic in the past the online play was always garbage. every year, but thats not the point the 365 was put in for the online play to let the person controlling the player to be more effective against the defense, whether a player is more likely to score goin left or right or pulling up for a jumper in a particular spot. its not for gimmicks its for those who play online and want a new way to play rather just shooting from everywhere. now with that said u wouldnt give the ball to mutumbo at the top of the key and expect him to make that shot even if u have have his stroke perfected like in 2k and expect him to make it live won’t allow it . dont believe me play the demo switch ur controller to player 2 to control garnett in gym perfect his jumper and then try to shoot 3″s u might make 1 outta like 15 or 20 shots thats what the dna is for if he for whatever reason starts making them in real life it will translate to the game. fresh . not every tuesday when the fat guy who blogs all day decides this tuesday i will make a change. and if u read the article it wont be a daily update. and im not biased but dont knock something just cuz u dont like the company cuz at the end of the day neither company iz paying ur bills[/quote]

You are so right i swear on 2k i hit 5 threes in a row with Big Z from the Cavs get out of here he may hit one three but now 5 in a row live look more realistic too me this year

@ PASTA just heard watching da Shock vs SStars game

that there are WNBA players in this game is this true??

if so is it whole teams or specific players

& is it right out the box or DLC or Codes

thx

As far as I know the WNBA players are only in the Wii version. Which I shudder at imagining with those graphics.

games getting a lot better the more I tweak certain things. i mean real good. i’m liking it. out of the box it plays just as good as nba live 049minus the grpahics animations etc)

Sorry Josh but NHL 09 sets the standard for all games to follow, by far the best sports gaming put together. Your biased is showing.

Man mo pete’s shots look awkward. Its like when he shoots, his body twists in some sort of weird way. Just look at the first quarter/replays

Pasta is this game really worth a purchase? I honestly dont want to waste my money like i did last year.

That’s not a determination I can make for someone else.

NHL 09 is pretty, but it’s way too flawed. If that’s the best, we’re in trouble.

once again me & JR disagree

I give it 2K9 over NHL 09 even though NHL has da betta on-line features

2K9 GPLAY is just so good
along wit givin playas tru 2 life mannerisms / moves

plus da fact 2K is more visually stunnin dan NHL 09

U gotta hand it 2′em
