Not that it really matters, 2k definately won with the rebounding, but I thought I'd point out that Live does have a manual box out. I'm not sure how it compares, but it was mentioned as a positive in 2k's rebounding and not mentioned for Live.

Good point tbach. I ended up cutting that because in the rebound game testing I found it to be very effective in the rebounding practice mode but not so much in the actual game.

Maybe is more a fault of the playermovement but unless you were in perfect position I found it hard to engage and it never really have you an advantage. Plus it seemed to play just a default animation that didn't help you get better position.

With 2k's you can actually steer the man your boxing out back or left or right....in essence getting yourself better position to the go get the rebound.

so in overall effectiveness They have the control but between the control's ineffectiveness (to me) and the poor implementation it did not warrant an increase in the score. However you are correct I should have mentioned that have one.

In order to keep the time down I end up cutting a lot in a final edit to keep a good flow. I guess i just like to break down too much. without fail in every show I cut at LEAST 7 minutes of my commentary because it just brings the show to a crawl...LOL

again way to point that out.

Unfortunately 2k9 took a big step back from 2k8.

Live is actually more fun this year than 2k do to the fact the response time in 2k9 is just frustrating.

No wonder 2k did not release the game with the 2k camera online.

To me both games suck to high heaven. There wasn't a playable basketball game this year.


And I've played over a 1000 games on 2k7 and 2k8.

Sorry but 2k9 was just a terrible release for 2k.


I feel sorry for this guy wasting his time on two terrible games.

Agreed. I didn't actually use the control much because of its lack of effectiveness.

It's good the Czar does stuff like dis so he could point out mistakes made by ea or 2k so it could be fixed foe next year
