The last NBA live i bought was 06 for xbox. The last few ive rented but have not been impressed, so therfore held off on purchasing any. This year i felt i HAD to get an update and am pleased to announce they have finally moved forward instead of backwards. Ive gone w/ the ps3 version this time because i never got a 360, but the online mode and new DNA seem to be alright. NEVERTHELESS, if your like me and have been holding off the last few years, you wont be disappointed by this years incarnation of Live.

I've played the Live series off-and-on since 96', and think that the gameplay just hasn't been the same in the last few years, especially compared to the 2K series.
I have 2k8 and have played 2k9 and they just feel more fluid; the gameplay is faster, the controls are more responsive, and 2k is simply more fun.
The good with NBA Live 09'
- The 365 is awesome. It is great to have constantly updated rosters, the hot and cold streaks, and the ability to play recent game. This is the only thing that I will miss when I dump NBA Live for 2k9;
- The graphics in the game are great, I can't complain; and
- The DNA is a neat twist, though I think it makes the game a little more complicated than I care for personally.
The bad
- Still not even close to 2k9 in terms of gameplay. The game feels choppy, everything seems to have a lag, and it's just not that fun.
- The game takes forever to load. It takes like 5 minutes to get into a game and the training stuff doesn't really help kill time;
- The

The graphics in this game are amazing!! The commentating is awesome.... but when it comes down to gameplay, thats where the game is kinda funny..
The players move to stiff, and aren't fluent enough. I constantly have a fast break and a guy open for a long pass. As soon as I pass it to him, instead of going straight to the bucket, he goes into a triple threat stance, allowing time for the other team to get back to defend!! WTF! This happened to me over numerous occations!
To all the basketball gamers out there, Its probably just better to jump ship and hope on the "NBA2K9" bandwagon! Sorry EA :-( make the games playable, and stop worrying so much about DNA player crap!
