I've been a fan of NBA live from SNES to the original PlayStation, but since the PS2 came the 2K series put them (Live series) totally down. Even in the next gen consoles, the NBA 2K series really still lead (up to 2K8). But I could say that NBA Live '09 won this time, why?; 1st, the animation really improved a lot; 2nd, the graphics really improved too; 3rd, the gameplay; 4th, the new features (which i don't really have time to explain cos I have to play the game after I make this brief review, lol) which includes the DNA thingy (which is kind of interesting); and of course the Online Play is smooth and fun to play, including the Be a Pro feature which let you control one player or position then will rate you how you did in the game with that particular position. What I'm trying to say is you should give this game a chance. I saw in almost every forum, NBA 2K9 wins, which i can't really blame them cause even me I'm a big fan of 2K series but I'm telling you this game made it this year. Just at least rent this game first before you buy it to say what I'm talking about.
