I'm gonna buy 2k9 for PC if it isn't watered down and the online mode is worthwhile. It's only $20. I might rent NBA Live 09 for Wii if it doesn't get crappy ass ratings again.
I love the Free roaming Courts. Fifa has had them since World cup 2006 and its quite good to see it incorparated in Live 09
I always find myself getting 2K since a big thing for me is importing draft classes from the college games...I never did understand why Live stopped doing this....I mean, Madden still does it....why stop with the Basketball?...I just don't understand
Unfortunately, you can't import classes in 2K this year either, because they are not making a college hoops game.
Just finished playing 2K9 demo for the 3rd time in the past half-hour. I thought it was really fun, but that might be because I haven't played an NBA game in a while. So far, though, 2K9 blows away Live 09.
NBA Live 09 got an 8.5 from TeamXBox, so it certainly sounds like it's making some strides in a good direction. TeamXBox Review: 8.5
So far the PS3 version has an average of 71%. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/948805.asp?q=nba live 09
