    I am debating which one to get for 360.

    What do you guys think? Last year I bought NBA 2K8. I enjoyed it. Before that I only bought Live.

    No experience for the 360.

    In general, I've played both series and thought the 2K series has always been more realistic in terms of play than the Live series. Live is more arcadish than the 2K series.

    I usually go with 2K. To me, the last good Live game was 06 on the last gen consoles. However, Live has gotten some solid reviews, mainly from TeamXbox, which gave it an 8.5 and only gave 2K an 8.

    2k9 is sooo sick, you wont believe the animations, some of the players are so spot on its eerie.

    2K9 is a huge leap over 2K8. I highly recommend it if you want a realistic game.

    co-sign.

    I used to be a EA sports loyalist....until I tried the NBA 2K franchise out...and as they say, "The Rest is History".

    If you get 2k9 be prepared for some major Tweakage with the sliders. Apparently they're a bitch to get spot-on
