What really seals the deal for me is the signature style play. The game is sick with it! I can't wait to play with Lebron James!

What is the most amazing dunk that anyone has seen on the demo so far? i don't have a wireless adapter for my 360 yet so i can't get it...but i'll just wait and get the game on tuesday.

Live to me, is all about "gimmicks" (i.e. quick strike, NBA 365, Player DNA). They endorse these gimmicks in hopes that it appeals to the masses. Last year it was the "go-to moves", the year before that it was free style moves where only certain players could pull of "moves". All EA has to do is make a good game and incorperate that stuff into a smooth flowing game of basketball. basketball is game of reaction, you take what the defense gives you. In NBA 2K, you try to force a move, 9 times outta 10 its not going anywere should you be playing on a hard difficulty. in NBA 2k, you can't come down and jack up 3 after 3, you gotta think a lil...its not rocket science but if you wanna be successful, you gotta think a lil. NBA live juss doesnt seem to me to all that. to me, that is why live will always be numero 2. When it comes to an authentic basketball sim, you have to be playin 2K. if you wanna play a "sim" version of nba jam, nba ballers, or nba street, live is YOUR thing. If there is anyone who disagree, feel free to tell me different. NBA live is like an ameteur who is tryna get it right, NBA 2k is a pro that doesn't get it wrong....hold dat

Amen.

is coach mode in 2k9 and can we sim a game and join it in progress or do we only have the option to sim to the end?

Man I can sit and watch the CPU shoot FT's with Ray Allen ALL DAY LONG. It is such a beautiful sight

# 807 e dubbz @ 10/05/08 06:33 PM

# 808 DC @ 10/05/08 06:38 PM

Is there some sort of "end of the quarter primacy rating" this year. Because the CPU always gives the ball to PP to create at the end of the clock.

KG took it out to Rondo and ROndo gave it to Paul. Keep in mind all of this happened in the backcourt. There were like 11 seconds left.

Nope. Same ratings and tendencies as last year. And just so you guys know I don't have the game. Found out from Benicio's thread.

NBA 09 is a much more fluid game than NBA 2K9....graphically, 2K9 is better and the crowd is ridiculous! But 2K9 has competition this year.

Your just being ridiculous. No way is NBA 09 more fluid.

# 816 Scott @ 10/05/08 08:31 PM

Please do not come into a NBA2K thread and talk about how Live is better. That is what we call: trolling.

# 817 KENYON06 @ 10/05/08 08:38 PM

Sweet, inbound alley-oops are back in. Haven't seen those since like 2k2 or 2k4.

Do you have to hold L2/LT in order to complete them or can you just press the pass button?

# 819 k2thaz @ 10/05/08 08:52 PM

played the demo and it looks really good. The crowd is just insane. Also downloaded Live's demo to check it out and it's not horrible but there is no signature, no crowd, and no free new features.

anyway I was never in question of getting 2K.. I've been on it since it came out.

# 820 travis297 @ 10/05/08 09:07 PM

couldn't of been said any better!
