NBA 2k9 vs NBA Live 09

[lettucenpico]

As we all can agree, the 2k series tops the charts in basketball game series. The movements are smoother on 2k than Live, and the graphics are slightly better than Live. Few things I've noticed this year's Live 09, is the mechanics of the game have been slightly better than the previous series. There online play is better also (thanks to EA server), compared to the 2k server. I like the idea of the Layup button is different than the Shoot button (even though u can still shoot a 3 using the square button). The blocking is horrible, and the steal/intercept is horrible also. The blocking in 2k isn't much better but its easier to pull than on Live. I've always been a 2k fan since the game came out on the Sega Dreamcast (which I still own), but I think in a few years, Live will be able to compete with 2k. In the meantime, I'll play 2k for the franchise mode, and Live for online gaming

To all sports game fans, let me know what you think of both games if you own them both.
