After not playing a console basketball game for a couple years, nba live 09 was what i expected in terms of gameplay. New stuff, better graphics, still far from simulation, but still fun and decent game. The problem being, which trumps anything good about this game, is that it has so many bugs and freezes every time i play.

But with no luck my next copy did the same, making the game pretty much unplayable. I play my 360 often with many other games and therefore am sure it is not my console with the issues. I am thoroughly disappointed in EA, especially for being such a profitable company. I feel that EA has been absolutely betraying its customers by releasing some very poor sports games lately. Until (or if...) an update is released to fix the problems in this game i am very frustrated with a brand spankin' new $60 game that i cannot even play.
