No one is on here trying to hype up Live and EA and all that blah blah! No one is starting a 2k vs EA war! We (me, sage, dave, and a lot more) Are some of the biggest 2k guys on the planet that are officially frustrated with the series. Remember with that piece of **** Live 07 came out and the Live nation went into a up roar. Well same scenario. 2k9 Great presentation, amazing animations (oh and by the way No one said Live 09 animated better than 2k9)(2k9 has more animations and are more fluid) But Live's graphics engine is better, the footplanting and movement of the players are more realistic. For the first time in who knows how long 2k9 has a major sliding issue. And a extremely off balanced A.I. Even on default everything Live 09 plays better, with less animations! The separate shot buttons on the control scheme doesn't mean it's the same engine. If you know anything about programming you can give any engine the same control scheme. If it ain't broke why fix it. Nothing wrong with have a layup button and a shot button. More control for the user. Free style for the first time in history is controlled by us and not the CPU. Where in 2k9. Isomotion is completely broken. Even Ch2k8 has better controls than NBA 2k9. Where your wrong even more??? Or should I say Moore!!!! You shouldn't be so disrespectful to Peter Moore, because if it wasn't for him, his money and vision. 2ksports series wouldn't exist. It's because of him that they made it as far as they did. He was the original publisher and marketer before Sega gave them to Take-Two! Who have done nothing but run them into the ground. See how I love how people come in here and talk a bunch of crap, without knowing the original backgrounds of everything. This is why Me, Sage, Tomba, Dave, and a lot more can be less bias and give the opinions. Because we are gamers and fans of series, without the ignorance of the fanboyism. Peace and Hair grease... Sorry mods for having to post this in reply in the impressions thread. I love NCAA Basketball 09 ( again day 1 purchase)

Great post, but I can't believe you even entertained his post
