NBA Live 09 is still a few months away, but our very own Ryan Spencer has all the details on the upcoming edition in our first NBA Live 09 preview!

"The NBA Live team has three main focal points for this year’s game: great gameplay, the NBA Live Academy, and a “super secret feature” that is yet to be unveiled."

Ha our tagging system only puts the first tag next to the title, hence why the PS2 thing showed up. It's modified now.

Good read, can't wait for the first in game video with presentation and all. Sounds like they are going in the right direction so far!

...Which would be great. We could have two very solid NBA games on our hands this year.

Yeah that's all I'm asking for this year.

The NBA2K series is very good but, I would also like to have a different sports game in my 360 for a change. No matter how good a game is, you will grow 'somewhat' tired of it eventually.

Especially, if you have been playing that game and only that game for 3 years straight because of the lack of other quality titles. Having Live 'hopefully' step up this year would give me that other option.

The sports games on NextGen (Live, Madden,NCAA) have been VERY dissapointing to this point IMO.

However, it looks like Madden will be much improved, I'm not too sure about NCAA after playing the demo, and Live 'may' have finally turned the corner.

Having NBA2K9, Madden09, and Live09 all being good titles this year would be great. It's been 3 years in a row now that one title (nba2k) has been the only reason I play my 360.

I'm banking on this year being different.
