Honestly, I dont see why there are 5's and 5.5's this game is good, if not great. The graphics are amazing with the animations and the look a like realism. The gameplay controls are good too but sometimes when you go to steal the ball from someone you will actually run away from the person. NBA Live 09 has all the things that you would expect from an average nba game, like character creation and dynasty mode, but the real thing that seperates this game from the others is the Live 365. The ability to have stat updates to all NBA characters everyday truly makes the game new and fresh. The online multiplayer isn't bad either, if you can get in a match. All in all, I would give this a 9.5 for a couple of minor flaws like better game modes. theres just not as much depth as I would like. But if your trying to decide if you want to get this game, first rent it out to see if you like it, cause after you try it you may find that you like it more than i did.
