    Can't really say which one is better because everybody has different opinions.

    Both games have their share of problems so it's really a choice of what you prefer, but I can't speak for you.

    There is stuff I like and hate about Live, and same with 2k9. Try out the demos for each, or rent both before buying.

      Both are not great. If you have played NBA 2K the last few years I would stay away from it since nothing has changed and go with NBA Live since its a fresh game thats just as good and has way better rosters.

      I have had both games this year and just made the switch to NBA Live. I would say NBA Live plays more like the NBA where you create your shot and take alot of jump shots where NBA 2k is the complete opposite where you will rarley ever have a open jump shot and most the points will be scored in the paint.

      I would say you will spend 95% of your time tweaking sliders, rosters in NBA 2k and you dont have to spend any time ever tweaking NBA Lives sliders.

        Its simple: 2K9 looks like real basketball and Live plays a lot more like real basketball. Both games have issues gameplay wise - just try out the demos.

          Both have issues but i prefer 2k9 by far. Live plays a fairly decent game of basketball after years of utter crap but 2k9 plays more like the real nba imo.

          Each to his own though, some people love live and hate 2k9 so i guess we will all have different opinions.

            In my opinion, 2k9 is still way above live as far as gameplay goes. Live is still pretty arcady. If you play 2k9 on Pro difficulty with these sliders (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ost-patch.html), I found that this game is very realistic. I'm having a ball with it.
