I would rent it first. I wouldn't trade 2k in until after the patch.

Just ask yourself which game you enjoy playing more, and then go with your gut, whatever choice it may be.

If the game draws you in, run with it.

It's a breath of fresh air to have sliders that actually work given the radical extremes we can put them at.

The game may be simple but what it does, it does well. Can't wait for next year.

Thats proably the most concise way of describign the game. Its not overly complex, but waht it wants to do, it does pretty much right.

This year, "Simple but done well" wins for me.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

I played a game last night before bed and I knew I had to get up early but, the cpu was up on me (ex Heat - cpu vs Nets - me) by 13 with 9 to go in the 4th. I was so into the game I lost track of time. Went into OT and lost by 4. 105 - 101. Wade & Beasley combine for 65. I looked at the clock and it was 3 am. Nothing like 4 years of sleep.:wink:

Anyway, that was the first time in I don't know how long. Probably not since the college days of Bill Walsh football & NBA Live 95 on Sega that I didn't want to go to sleep.

This game is truly amazing.

Question, has anyone tried to edit the headbands post patch?? Can you do it?? I got the patch and put it on my hard drive but can not edit the headbands?

This is for the 360..

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

yeah it does..I tried it earlier with the patch from the thread and it worked. Only thing I noticed is that with Lou Williams, when you take the headband off, its a grey headband on his head during practice. Its not that way for anybody else, but its been that way since that time I asked Steph to take it off because he never wears it.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

(Chairman steps in) Relax folks, I can translate this. This is what he meant:

Well, i still haven't figured it out.

I like 2k9, but some things still concern me. For instance, I can't seem to hit a jump shot, or have any success with the post game, no matter what I do.

I used to play NBA 2K games on the Dreamcast, but I didn't like the gameplay on 2k6 and 2k7, so I traded them.

I went with live during those years, and I had tons of fun with it. I got 2k9, and i like it - it seems like a fun game.

However, it's been 2 weeks and i still can't beat the cpu on Pro Difficulty Level, whether on default or through adjusting sliders.

I'm not a basketball guru, and I hardly watch it anymore. My question is, "Should I trade in 2k9 and get live, especially now that the price has dropped?"

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

Just got the game today(wife bought it early for xmas).I'm a big bulls fan and i can play just like the bulls on Live. More so then i can on 2k9. You know how the bulls Drive and kick with Rose to have open 3s from BG/NOC/Larry? Well i can do it in this game were in 2k9 i really could not play like i wanna to. I got 2 good basketball games to play this year.Maybe 3 if Ncaa 09 is good(got that today to). I just don't know how to use the rewind. Reading some threads looks like it is some problems with it sometimes?

(chuckle... chuckle...) Let's let StephensonMC or Beluba answer this one.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

I know the game is weak where cpu fastbreaks are concerned, but I gotta say - my last few games have been downright friggin' amazing.

Re: NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

the patch for online play is awful. The dunk to layup ratio has gone down so much, alleys result in a layup instead of A dunk. Just very poor, and the easy missed layup are killing it! What pro NBA player (besides Jordan Farmar, LOL) will miss 5-7 layup a game?
