        Well I'll try to help you out the gameplay compared to 2k is a downgrade but there are somethings they do better then 2k like foot planting, some sig shots are equal as well as better then some in 2ks but its not as deep as 2ks overall, The best feature of live 09 is hands down the DNA trust me its not a gimmick compared to 2k insider not bashing just being real, it realyl does make players and teams play like there counter parts. You don't have to worry bout teams running sets they do it a lot in live.

          when you say deep what are you reffering to exactly.because some aspects of 2k are shallow as far as the repetitive nature of the game to game experience...i just downloaded the live demo on saturday and i was actually having fun with it and that wasnt a finished game ...plus ive seen the comments on how the pach and what got fixed and you dont need a lot of slider adjustments which would be great since i just wanta good sim experience.........again thanks for the feed back guys

            There's your answer right there! Live 09 is definitely a great sim basketball game and the demo doesn't do it justice, glad your enjoying it though! DNA is the truth!

                My bad i meant animation wise its not as deep as 2k, i wouldn't say live is a great sim it has its problems but the half court game is probable the best I've seen in any basketball video game second would be inside drive and college hoops.

                    The size and look of players is real nice in that vid. If they looked like humans instead of all herky jerky when they moved, it would look like an actual game.

                      The gameplay is good the best i have seen in years, they even beat nba 2K9 on that. Commentary is also the best, steve kerr is really good. Visually it doesn't look so good as 2K9. But anyway i found it better than 2K9 because of the gameplay and the commentary.

                        It's not perfect but it's a great game man, I did the same thing last year bought nba 2k8 then bought live and ended up liking live more then this year I got 2k9 pc version and live 09 360 version and I like live more again. I say give it a shot I believe you will like it.

                              After reading some of this posts I recently got myself a copy too. I think it plays a lot better than 2k (which I played until now). 2k does have better animations and some presentation aspects, but when it comes to basketball... I mean true basketball knowledge gets you rewarded. It is not perfect of course, but if they really improve all that Beluba is promising, then we have the best basketball video game ever.
