That actually does provide some comfort.

I misread the quoted post that Pared posted and thought the guy was talking about 2k's defense. I was sleepy. I hadn't had coffee yet. My shoes were untied. My dog ate it

Live is still playing catch up. 2K9 is just a better game. I have both....Live for the kids and 2k9 for the adults.

I have been playing basketball since I was 7 and I have played organized ball for half my life..I also used to work for EA as a tech support rep. I have insight into the company's way of thinking and I can tell you as a former employee that Live is what it is. EA does not want to spend the money to rebuild the engine because of the money they have in various projects and I am sorry, being that I used to play organized ball, Live is not realistic AT ALL. Anyone that says it is has NEVER played organized ball. I got both but I am turning live in. Nba 2k9 is the closest thing I have ever played to real life ball, you actually have to think basketball to be good at this game. I am not a 2k fanboy but I gave both of them a chance and this game is better than last years Live but still is not on the level of 2k. EA is going to have to break bread and rebuild this game if they want to stand a chance. I am tired of my old company putting out this unrealistic, sizzling hot garbage year after year.

You are going to have to prove yourself with a statement like that.

vagentleman76 · 10-10-2008, 02:23 PM

prove it??? I worked at EA studios in Charlottesville VA from sept 2001 up to oct 2002...we did tech support for the ea.com website until they out sourced and closed down our facility... i still keep in touch with the higher ups that still work for the company. they also tested games at that facility...so no i am not lying..i did work for them and they are a wonderful company to work for but they just make unrealistic bball games. i would love to say that i worked for the company that makes the best bball game but that would be a lie. and as u can see..i dont lie.

No, what he said about the realism is completely true. Anyone who has played/been associated with basketball knows that.
