Rating: - Great Basketball Game
I totally enjoy playing this nba game. It has very good graphics and awesome game play. One the main features I like is the nba live 365. It automatically downloads data daily from the servers to update your game with changes in the nba. These changes include trades, injuries and how the teams and players are performing. This game comes with one year free of the nba live 365 service. If you love playing basketball on the xbox 360 I would recommend this game without a doubt. I got it for a little less than [...]. Totally worth every penny.
Rating: - WORST B-BALL GAME EVER
I buy NBA Live every year, and have always been very satisfied with it, always preferring it over 2K. This year's version, however, is a serious disappointment. I have never hated playing a basketball game so much. It is extremely difficult to complete even the most basic pass without it being stolen. Alley-oops are nearly impossible to complete, and even the other team's lowest rated player will easily score 30+ points on you any given night, while you're best player bricks lay-up after lay-up (and this was all done in ROOKIE mode). Definately gonna have to try 2K this year, as EA has put out a serious DUD of a product.
Rating: - unreadable disk
Although I do not think it is the fault of Amazon, my xbox has a hard time reading this game most of the time. It says disk unreadable during games all the time. Amazon was nice enough to send me a new game free of charge but the new one freezes all the time as well.
If the game does not freeze though, it is absolutely awesome.
Rating: - Way better that NBA 2K9!
I first purchased NBA 2K9 and the game was good but they really messed up the online play from last year. I think they did a horrible job. I traded the game in for NBA Live 09 and I have to say I was not disappointed. I actually think the game is better than NBA 2K9. The graphics are good and the game is way more fun. I have to say I haven't bought a NBA Live game since NBA Live 05 so I wasn't a fan for a few years. NBA 2K9 made me go back to NBA Live 09. I am happy I did. The Live 365 feature is really hot. They also have a practice where a trainer helps you work on your weaknesses. Get this game. You will not be disappointed. The online play is great. Way better then NBA 2K9.
Rating: - EA blew this big time!
I have never gave a game made by Ea sports a total bad review because I like their sports games of any sport. But this game is absolutely horrible in every way. From graphics to gameplay to presentation they royally messed this one up. I enjoyed and still enjoy NBA live 08 a good solid game but I think they didn't care or was drunk when they put this one together. The NBA 365 concept might be ok but if you don't have XBox live this game is pointless. The graphics are blurred,the players move like they are high on something and you don't feel like you have total control. What happened EA? They fell off the wagon big time here. I'm going to try NBA2k9 I hear it is really good.
