I think this is the first year I am considering on which one to get. Usually I've always lean towards the live series because of the controls... but this year besides DNA, there's not much that I saw that improved from last year. It seemed stiff to me. And 2k visually is appealing and whoever has HDTV, it makes any game better ingame-play. The crowd is definitely better and cut scenes between scores seems so realistic. But on the same hand I can't stand the offensive control, maybe I'm so used to the "total ball control" on live that it's hard to get used to anything else. Im torn... I almost want to buy both and just say screw it, but everyone knows that if you buy both you'll just end up only playing one... grrr.
