Not feelin the Superstar Mode. In any game! I would rather them create exciting team play. BUT, i would love for them to bring back 'off ball' controls.

A weekly (or daily) Top 10 and a SportCenter-style wrap-up would be great and would add a ton to the overall presentation and feeling of accomplishment in games.

They used to have a type of wrap up like that way back in the day on Sega Genesis. On the Bulls vs Blazers, Lakers vs Celtics games. Most of those had a wrap up like that at the end of the game including game clips. The clips might have been stock, but I can't remember. I mean how much could you expect back then you know? Real half-time analysis, and post game wrap ups with clips would be killing. Especially considering the ESPN exclusivity. Let me see my man Stuart Scott, Trey Wingo, Scott Van Pelt...That would be killing!

I don't want super star mode. I'd prefer online franchise/dynasty with friends ala NCAA 09.

I just never been into that. I want to be able to play with all players on the court. I want to drop the dime and hit the shot. Gamble on a steal and attempt the block at the tin. But, thats just me.

After playing the live demo a good bit, i've noticed two things. One: nba live has improved a lot since 08. And two: nba live 09 still doesn't play as well as nba 2k8. While live 09 is definetly a fun b-ball game, I don't see how i could justify spending 60 bucks on a game that doesn't play as well as last years 2k game.
