im pretty shocked live got 6.5 on IGN thats harsh, it has some flaws but they dont make the game unplayable at all, but again im not a huge sim basketball guy i just think the games fun, most annoying thing ive noticed is that terrible terrible replay framerates, the game looks so good but the replays look like N64

NBA 2K9 is a far more realistic sim game and the animations are true to life of the actual player, its just a better game, everything looks real and is authentic.

I did not like the demo much either. I thought it felt kinda stiff and choppy. But when I went to purchase 2k9 a few days early, my shop only had Live 09 early and I just bought for the hell of it. Man am I happy I did! IT is awesome and much better than the demo and I dont even think I will buy 2k this year. I would recommend it.

Anyone who grades this game below an 8.0 is A) A 2k fanboy; B) Never actually played the game itself or didn't play it enough; C) Chased one too many tornadoes and suffered multiple concussions while doing so.

I dont know why 2K went and made their game so offensive minded.I never liked to play against the cpu cause online is much more appealing to me, but because my game freezes everytime I try to search for a match,I have to put up with the cpu making almost every shot and make finger rolls and dunks in traffic

so, Live´s breakthrough year comes out decent (again) , what a surprise. Every year is "THE YEAR FOR LIVE" and still.... it´s so funny....

I still wonder why some guys buy Live or 2K.
