This game is really fun to play. The game got closer to real life gameplay, mainly in the sense of the way the offense moves, the players are constantly moving to the right places. One think I don't like is how the wing players (SG and SF) tend to take one step inside the three point line when you kick it out to them from the post. But if you have good wing players that can drive it won't really make a difference, but I like to make threes, not take long 2-pointers. I love the driving ability of players in this game, and also the defense against the drive, that might be what is most realistic about the game. The finishes at the basket are not as realistic, but it works for me. I decided to buy this game because I had heard more good things about it rather than bad things. I bought this game simply because I didn't have a basketball game for my PS3. I have always bought EA sports games and will continue to. I've played the 2k10 games, but just haven't been as satisfied with the graphics more than anything. Anyone who buys NBA Live 09, and the later versions, will really enjoy their purchase.Read full review
This game is great graphic wise and it is realistic. however, their could have been minor improvements like the ball spinning when it leaves the players hands or the net actually swaying with the ball not just doing its automatic shake. the game itself is great and the new features brought to it make it greatly realistic like dna 365 for example. however, one thing they do fail to tell you is that you only get dna 365 if you buy the game brand new or if the person you bought it used for didn't use the code(most likely not gonna happen). so if you do buy it used and dont have the code you cant update rosters nor can you go and play online unless you buy the code from xbox live or psn. that kills the game a lot. its a great game if you do not plan on going online though.
Pros 1. Multiplayer (I only say this is a pro because apparently nba 2k9 is 1 player.) 2. Players look and shoot how they do in real life. 3. 3 point contest and Dunk contest are fun when bored with the game. Cons. 1. If player is hurt in real life, you can't use that player in "play now". If you opt to use default rosters, then whoever was traded early in the season will still be on original team. 2. No halftime show, highlights, recap, end of game recap, nothing. 3. Game takes forever to load. 4. One thing you can do is shoot around in the gym (like a practice) during loading and when you first turn on the game (which seems pretty cool at first), but then you think how much better it would be if you could guard another player, pass another player the ball, block shots, play a two on two game or something. I don't even shoot around anymore. 5. In gameplay, you hardly ever know if your shot counts as a 3 or 2. After the shot is made, nowhere on the screen does it say 2 points or 3 points, annoucers usually dont say anything, and rarely if your the home team the crowd will shout "3!" if you shoot one. This annoys me. 6. On average, there are about 15 blown layups per game for each team. 7. Free throws are boring and you make literally 99% of them. 8. Most of the time when its a 1 on 1 opportunity the player on defense does not guard the player with the ball but stands there and waits for his man or for the player with the ball to come into his zone. 9. The easiest way to score is to press the ball up the floor as soon as possible (almost every time relates in an easy layin). 10. Sometimes after timeouts, your entire team is caught standing by the bench or guarding the wrong side of the court which translates into an easy basket for the other team. 11. You can dribble the ball upcourt and drive with shaq as if he was kobe bryant. 12. My friend and I had more fun playing nba 2k4 than this game. 13. I'm sure theres more... Overall, this game turned out to be a real disappointment. I wish I would have listened to more reviews before actually buying this game. If 2k10 is still only 1 player, then I'm going to try NCAAB 2010.Read full review
You are either an EA fan or a 2K fan. I myself like EA. I like the improvements to online updating to stay current with hot and cold players along with transactions. There are a few more play modes cool additions as well. My only con with the game is the graphics, not that the graphics are bad just being on the 360 or the PS3 I expect top notch graphics, I think they could get more detail and a more polished look. And you would think they could make the damn thing load faster by now. Come on! I would say buy it.
NBA Live 09’s visuals have received as much attention as the gameplay, and for perhaps the first time since 2004, EA has a better-looking game than 2K. Character models are absolutely gorgeous, with faces and body scaling that match the real-life counterparts perfectly, realistic sweat (a hallmark of EA’s character models), and convincing textile textures on jerseys and shorts. The players look even better in motion, with some of the most realistic animations in all of sports gaming. Watching players run up court, you’ll see them backpedal, point to each other and realistically move their heads to view the position of everyone on the court. The high standard even makes its way to the coaches, who look better than in any game ever. The first time you see Denver Nuggets head coach, George Karl, you’ll be sure to say “hey, that’s John Lithgow!” In case you're wondering, that’s a compliment to the game’s fidelity. The effect is truly impressive, and combined with the broadcast-style camera, makes for a visual presentation that could easily be mistaken for a real game at first glance. During cut-scenes and occasionally during the game, the game will unexpectedly load from the disc, causing significant slowdown. It’s a noticeable and unpleasant black mark on an otherwise spectacular visual experience.Read full review
