its actually pretty similar to last year's game except the animations are different n certain things u could pull off easily in 2k8 are a bit harder in 2k9 basically as realistic as it gets just like watching a real NBA game IMO excellent game if your a basketball fan, good for any1 else other than that only new things are rosters and ratings, association with NBA.com, and about the only thing i didnt like that much were the constant in-game highlights which i can't seem to be able to turn off oh and free throws are a bit harder as for the online i havent checked it out myself but it shouldnt be too bad, most features are back too like NBA Blacktop (which has dunk contest, pickup games, 3-point shootout, etc) Association mode and its real great trades work excellent and so does the improvement of players being able to add signature moves and stuff to their arsenal and as for the graphics they are amazing tons of new animations and players look amazing bottom line Nba 2k9 is the game 2 get if u want real basketball, live09 and NBA09 are mediocre compared to this
