I got the demo for LIVE09. I thought they changed the gameplay, but it still feels the same playing it. Don't know about 2k9 yet but LIVE player models look very good. Basketball games tend to last a whole year for me so I want the best game possible. So which game do you guys will win the b-ball battle this year?

I heard somewhere that 2k9 might be just a roster update & nothing more while Live09 has some new features. Guess I'll just have to rent them both to see which one is better.

I hope this does not sound like im hating on 2k but I have bought every 2k since it started on dreamcast and this is possible the first time I feel like they really did not do anything to improve it over last year. I can't say that for sure only cause i have not had my hands on 2k but I have played live 09. I'm still getting both live 09 and 2k9.

I am going to be picking up Live 09 for sure because I really loved the demo and it's finally got Live back into contention as best bball game around. I may pick up 2K9 just because i will have some friends that will be on it but Live is a for sure buy for me.

Buying 2 basketball games doesn't sound like a good idea. You might want to spend the money on a different game. (just a thought)

2K9 for me. This years it's got both gameplay and graphics down.
