[quote name='ganja luva']I can't believe people are still saying 2k is better than live. Look really sit down and play the game and the answer is clear. I am a basketball fan and when it comes to more realistic movements and flow hands down live has it. 2k men don't run down the court they glide like there on ice, all there moves don't feel true cause they carry no weight with them, the blocking is horrible, if you have someone like shack down low you have to wait until he misses a shot to basically stop him it's all arcade ball, look at the colors in the game it's all bright like they have a million watt bulb over top of them, and just point blank the gameplay is sub-par. I don't know who that 2k player was talking that crap about the live but i guess he never been out there on the court in real life almost any NBA player will tell you that live is still on top.[/QUOTE]
LMAO at the bolded part.
But yeah, I disagree based on the demos. When it comes to the full games, that may be true. I don't know, since I haven't played either. But after being disappointed with 2K8, I was all ready to switch to Live. but the Live demo just, well sucked. I played on the default difficulty and was able to break to the hoop for a dunk on literally every play. No challenge. The graphics sucked compared to 2K9, and the gameplay just felt awkward and arcadey. I even shut out the CPU once or twice.
Oh, and I have a question for you guys- is it just me, being a fan of the Lakers and being used to playing as them, or are they really infinitely better than the Celtics on the 2K9 demo? When playing as Boston, I could never win. I lost half my games and tied the other half. But with LA, I was winning by at least 7, usually double digits, and a couple times put up 24-25 points against single digit scoring from the Celtics.
EDIT: One more thing- TO WHOMEVER CREATES THE 2K9 LEAGUE- can you please wait until next week? I won't be purchasing the game until then due to both money issues as well as the Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 free sale, and I believe some other CAGs are in the same boat as far as the sale goes.
