2K9 is an awesome game for basketball purist. This game can be called the soul caliber of basketball games because there are so many moves you have to master to be good at this game. Dont get me wrong this is a pick up and play title; however if you face me online and never practiced the in game tutorials you will get crushed and never know what hit you. NBA live is more user friendly but of less quality and someone who plays that game for the first time can compete with veteran players. I was surprised that easports actually made an attempt to improve that game over last years disaster which caused the ea faithful to sign petitions to get their money back. NBA2k9 ;however is the best bball game this year and I'm willing to bet that gamespot was paid to rate this game an 8.0 but im happy to say that the gamers always get it right at a reasonable 8.6 average on the ps3 and a 8.9 average on the 360. In conclusion if you love basketball this is a must have. If the default difficulty is to hard then all you have to do is play with the game sliders because their are many. Enjoy
