Sure the players face graphics have improved, but when playing a game....it's irrelevant because you're not zooming in on the players' faces. Also I totally agree with the "1 on 1 x 5" statement. I felt the same thing playing 2K8 for a couple of weeks before I thankfully sold it. I got bored of it really quickly and I have a feeling that the same will happen with 2K9 this year (hence which is why I will most likely pass it up).

You guys say what you want. I just got done playing the 2K9 PS3 demo and Live 09 is going to be number 2 again this year. The video highlights before the game are sweet and the playability blows Live away once again. The graphics are improved and IMO look better than Live 09. The shooting is smooth compared to Live and blocking shots do not hesitate. The audio was not fully engaged, but it was setup for 7.1 PCM. All of EA's games are setup for 5.1 so the 7.1 is nice.
