Big Year for NBA Games

[amedawg00]

Lets stop comparing these two games. Live is the pupil, and 2K the professor. With all due respect to NHL 08, NBA 2k8 was the best sports game of the year, bar none!

Isnt it amazing what competition will do?

FORCE developers to come up with innovation and fight for a piece of the consumer pie. Succeed or suffer.

Ive been playing 2k, since 2k5. Live peaked with 05. Then came "freestyle superstar" and it was a rapid crash and burn ever since


This is the 1st yr where they seriously have a chance of getting me back.

I will play the game that I enjoy the most. I do not care what brand produces it.

2k will be king again but I'm interested to see what sony does with NBA 09

Wouldn't it be nice if it was like this every year for all sports titles? I love competition and I'd like to keep my options open. Last year it was 2K for me we'll find out if I'm making the jump to NBA Live. I wish it was the same way with football.

I am a 2k fan as well as a Live fan. I played the Live demo lastnight and I must say that I am impressed with what I saw in there. EA does a tremendous job on the GRAPHICS side of the game. They blow 2k away. As far as gameplay 2k has that cat. I think I am going to give LIVE a shot though this year I had fun with the demo.

May just buy 2k for the 360 and LIVE for the ps3. As for Sony's NBA 09, the game looks good and I like the whole storyline of "THE LIFE" where you can go clubbing and stuff outside of the game. I want to give that a shot too.
