Which is better NBA 2k9, or NBA Live 09? I know the reviews are better for 2k9, but I've never bought anything but EA Sports so I'm scared of change.

Try the demos, You'll see how much better 2K9 is. The realism compared to Live 09 is uncanny. I love ea sports as much as the next guy, they put out great products like madden and nhl.However when it comes to basketball games, they still haven't figured it out. Go with 2K9

Definitely 2k9. EA does it right with Football and Hockey, but Basketball isn't something they do well.

NBA 2k9 is the best basketball game ever imo.

NBA LIVE 09 is a big improvement over the last few years, but its still not as good as 2k.

This year I think EA has the better hockey and 2k has the better bastketball.

I'm not really a big basketball fan but if I were to choose I would take NBA 2K9.

2k9 might be better but I'm going to get Live because I have played both and I get Live every year for some weird reason and since this years is so much more improved and I like Live 365 I will be getting NBA Live. But try it out for yourself...

there isnt much competition haha i reckon once the sole license is finished, 2K will definately be a great contender to EA, probs better judging by 2K5

That is only half true, you only pay to use it if you get it used.The game comes with a code that gives it to you free all season, which by the way was sponsored by T-Mobile

Get 2k8 it's almost the same as 2k9 except 2k9 has the rookies plus some slightly improved stuff. I still have 2k8 & having a blast online. Plus you could get 2k8 for $10 or less.
