NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here 360 & PS3

[DaFunk4]

I played NBA Live up till 360 came out and Live has been trash. Madden was also trash up to last year and its still not that good, but playable.

NBA 2K has alot of flaws and nothing every changes and it barley improves every year. NBA Live just made a great first step turn around but its not better then 2k unless they mess up this year.

Im accually not 100% sure Im getting NBA 2k for a first time since 360 came out. Might be nice to play a game that doesnt feel almost the same.

Anyone know anything about the franchise mode?

As long as you're signed into the PSN when you start up the game, yes.

Do anybody know if the live 365 and dna data works wit a season in the game?

[HoosierDaddy]

has anyone noticed the random "airballs" but the opponent just rips the ball out of the air next to the rim? Goaltend anyone?

I hope they implement some type of AI sliders as well, because the game needs it.

2K has Living Rosters, which is basically Live's 365 system but done manually as opposed to being automatically updated from data gathered and fed into the game by Synergy Sports. The 2K Insider will be updating ratings whenever he sees fit and will consult with the development team about any major changes. Also, 2K will be able to add additional animations to the game if players warrant a change.

Also, 2K has a feature called 'DNA', but it revolves around created players rather than tendencies like in Live. So for example, you create Michael Jordan to use, the player you made will have a specific DNA which can be shared by others on 2K Share. I'm not sure if there is other functionality with 2K's version of DNA, but that was the main point of it as far as I'm aware.
