“Which basketball game is better, NBA Live 09 or NBA 2K9?”
Overall it seems NBA 2K9 got better reviews on most video gaming websites. Having played both of these basketball video games I would have to agree and give the edge to NBA 2K9, the actual game-play and the movement of the players seems more realistic than NBA Live 09.
Both are very good basketball games but if I had to choose one I would get NBA 2K9. But don’t take my words for it, read the reviews for each game and see what the strong points are for each game and note the negative points as well and see which basketball game you are willing to pay money for.
