Dominates Any Basketball Game.

"NBA Live 09" dominates every basketball game on the market, including the 2k series. I was amazed by this game when I inserted it into my Xbox 360, and I continue to be amazed today. The gameplay is so much more advanced than NBA Live 08. Every player looks like there real life counterpart when they shoot, run, dribble, and jump. They even made their signature free throws in the game. The game is real in so many ways.

Let me tell you about the new game modes. There are something like five new game modes and features including NBA Live 365, which updates the rosters, tendencies, injuries, and stats fresh daily. For example, if Kobe Bryant gets injured in real life, you will not be able to use him in the game until he is healthy. There are a couple new online features as well, including a new and improved lobby, clubs, and you can now choose to play with your friends. There are just so many improvements. I recommend going out and purchasing this game.

The graphics in this game are truly excellent. I could be fooled watching a game on television, that is how good. When I compare this game to 08, or any of the 2k basketball games, This one easily comes out on top. The graphics, gameplay, and control you have in the game, make this top of the food chain in terms of basketball games.
