well obviosuly having both will solve the problem so u dun have to stress n decide which one u should keep or get, i have both, i gave up on 2k this year, bought live 2days ago, cannot stop playing still, is amazing!!! i can compare this one to the 2004 whcih was the best ball game all times, but i m curious waht the patch does to 2k but i doubt it will be better than live. i swear, i don't even know why live nailed it so perfectly this year
