Any chances you guys got to digg your hands into Be a pro mode? i really want to know about this mode because this might be the only reason i get live 09 instead of 2k if it's any good?

Do you know that "Be A Pro" is only a one game thing? It's not like a Superstar mode in Madden. I can't imagine that you would choose one game over another for such a small feature.

How'd you aquire the game?

- Give us some details on what you notice new in Franchise

- Bird Rights?
- CPU assist on scouting?

Something that I've always hated is to have to keep checking on prospects

To be honest Lusion, I'm not really a "be a pro" type guy.
Any impressions I gave you would be shallow at best - and probably not what you're looking for.
If I'm gonna create "Virtual Dave" in any game, it's gonna be in the role of Hugh Hefner in "Playboy Mansion".

lmao i hear that the professional athlete dream died a long time ago.

Guys, I have not purchased a basketball game since 2003 i think. Both games for the most part have been lacking on several fronts.

I plan to buy something this year but I will be honest I am torn. I downloaded the live demo and its good but I need to play more to get a better feel for it.

I hope 2k releases a demo so I can compare. It seems the better looking game but not sure how fun it is or does it feel natural or 'foreced' to mimic the game. Does that make sense?

Well for those that have the game, tell me what you DONT like about live. Is rebounding realistic? Does it feel like you are playing NBA Jam? I am not even sure what to ask. Just what do you all think?

It was the right decision on their part.
If will take EA five years into the cycle before they have gameplay that touches 2k ... and during that five years, their reputation has been killed.
Live 08 brought some of it back, Live 09 will likely bring more. Live 10 might finally equal or surpass 2k10 - but that's hardly a sure bet.

How many gamers say they hate NBA2k series? I can't think of more than two or three. Is it a quantum leap every year? No, but it doesn't have to be.

Dave... once again, I completely agree.... BUT.

While some may not agree, this NBA Live engine is INFINITELY better than the one we had on PS2/PS3. LEAPS... BOUNDS... better than what was there. Sure, there are things still missing and/or not up to par. But the pros outweigh the cons in the long run, IMO.

They needed to scrap that engine if they wanted to go forward with the intention of producing a realistic looking, simulation basketball game. They are well on their way to doing that.

This engine can compete with 2k basketball. That stale old engine used previously could not, especially in the direction they headed.

I just pray we don't see "Superstar Freestyle" ever again. Street Fighter style motions for player specific moves that can be pulled out whenever.... UGH.

Tomba...

Headcoaches in Dynasty...Can they be fired, and new ones hired, or are we stuck w/ the same headcoach thru an entire dynasty like in yrs past?

I think it is safe to say 2K9. Live 09 is getting there, but the overall gameplay is still not up to par with 2K9.

Offensive and defensive coaches can be fired or "upgraded"
Nothing that i saw that was "head coach" specific.

so this means we are stuck with our coaches for the life of our dynasty, damn that stinks.

Re: ***I have NBA Live 09!***"Ask away, as I play!"

1. Can I create a team?

2. Can I control multiple teams in dynasty mode? Say, all of them if I wanted to.

Are the players still blurry during cut scenes? It was like this on the demo.
