Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Annoying audio
Addictive gameplay  
Just plain fun  
NBA Live 09 is a slam dunk.

NBA Live 09 is a great basketball sim. First thing you'll notice is the all new DNA feature, which downloads player tendencies and how well they are playing throughout the entire season. It's a feature that is surprisingly fun to pay attention to, and it works great. Visually the game looks quite amazing. From players facial animations, to the actual basketball court, it looks great. While it doesnt capture the realism of an NBA game like NBA 2K 09, the controls prove to be much easier to learn, therefore making the game a little more user friendly to first time players. My only complaint is the in game commentary. It sounds exactly like it did last year, and tends to get a little annoying. 2K definetely has the advantage there. But, overall this is a great basketball game that should keep NBA fans entertained for a while.
