The graphics and animations aren't to the level of 2k which does animations better than in any sports game.that went to a whole new level in 2k9 where the players feel more like the real-life counterparts moreso than live. NBA Live 365 is an awesome addition and I love the detail in the player tendencies effecting gameplay the way it does. I find the presentation to be much better in live and it's a breath of fresh air to leave the Harlan/Kellogg/Miller team and upgrading to Marv Albert and Steve Kerr (he must've had some spare time in the offseason?). But the difference I'm finding is that unlike those older options, it's not a dunkfest like b-ball games of a couple of years ago used to be.
The gameplay feels like 2k used to feel (2k6 and 2k7) in the way driving and kicking is satisfying. Live is just better balanced and provides a more free flowing and realistic (IMHO) flow to the game. I've only played about 5 or 6 games but I prefer the defense in live and feel their lockon is easier to apply and you don't get penalized as harshly for not having it locked in - 2k9 makes Derek Fisher into Tiny Archibald if you aren't locked on. 2k9 has a lot of depth as diehards know, but the gameplay is too bogged down with various things I won't get into depth here about, since this is a Live review. I can't believe it, but I actually prefer it and am flat out just having more fun playing it.
For the first time since the inception of the 2k series, I've returned 2k9 for Live 09.
I I was a longtime 2k fan until this year.
