Parker makes NBA Live 09 cover

By L.A. Lorek - Express-News San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker grew up playing National Basketball Association video games with his two younger brothers in France.

This year, he's on the worldwide cover of NBA Live 09 and he's thrilled.

"When my agent called me with the news, I couldn't believe it," Parker said. "I thought it was a joke."

Long before the Spurs point guard had three NBA championship rings, Parker played video games at home like a lot of kids dreaming of being in the NBA. Parker, 25, has played the game since it debuted in 1995.

For the past four years, Parker has graced the cover of NBA Live's French edition, but to make it on the worldwide cover was a great honor, he said. That's because he loves everything about the game.

"It gives me a time to relax," he said. "It reminds me of spending a lot of good times with my brothers."

About 400 people attended a launch party Friday at Beso, the Hollywood restaurant his wife, "Desperate Housewives" actress Eva Longoria Parker, opened earlier this year. At the party, Parker played the NBA game with his friends. He said Eva is proud of him, but she doesn't play video games.

The game is realistic, Parker said. But he joked that the cover, which features him charging down the court in his Spurs uniform, makes his muscular arms look huge.

NBA Live 09, which launches Tuesday, is the most technologically advanced game to date, said Matt Lafreniere, Electronic Arts’ associate producer of the game, based in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

"It integrates real-time stats from the court during the season into the game," he said.

First thing I'll do is rip up and throw away the cover of 2k9. I don't want a picture of KG pounding his chest anywhere near my home.

There was a thread on the front page of the Forum for a month or so, he should comprehend the article he is posting if the information is 3 months old.

not a lame pick at all. Its about time they start recognizing some players who have actually accomplished something in the NBA indivudally and teamwise. No Gilbert Arenas at least. Oh but I bet you think a non-lame pick would be Dirk right? :rolleyes

I agree, Arenas is one of the most overrated players in the league right now...his blog sucks too. How ridiculous is the notion of taking an ill-advised last second prayer 3 pointer just because some coach cut you from the National team?

What year was it that Timmy was on the cover? 2000?:flag:

No, you dumb fuck, I don't think Dirk should have been on it. Why would you even say that? Because my favorite team is the Mavericks? Godamn, that's stupid.

But it would have made more sense to put Parker on the cover last year when he was fresh from getting a Finals mvp.

They have the picks set up during the playoffs. Idk why they don't wait a couple weeks and pick the "Fresh" pick, like parker last year.

well, if parker won the finals mvp or not in 07, Arenas is still a much more marketable name and recognized easier.

That was the last really great NBA Live game. Live 2003 was cool too, but not as good as 2000. Live 2001 was when EA started getting cheap with their developers, artists, etc., and the series has never recovered.

fuck you asshole. I was trying to make a point. but i guess you are too stupid to have a decent conversation or see my point and had to resort to name calling. And yea smart ass i did think you would want to see Dirk on it because your team is the mavericks. wow what a thought! :rolleyes The cover may be he a year late, but its not lame he's on it now.

I'd buy every version if that were true. Might not play it, but I'd buy it all the same.:lol

And I wish Iwasn't defending dirk4mvp, but it's true, marketing is all that matters to businessmen. If that also applies to 4mvp, then I take it back.

It's doesn't take a very intelligent person ( i guess this leaves you out apparently) to realize Arenas is more popular than Parker.

man you need some anger management classes or something. just cause someone doesn't agree with you you have to call them a cunt? Its funny that I am getting on your nerves so much. anyway it seems to me you are the type of person who sees style over substance anyways. I know arenas is a more marketable player, but that has more to do with TP playing in SA. Arenas is overrated big time,a nd finally TP gets some credit that he deserves. Again, TP is not a lame pick.

Nobody would be surprised if the spurs signed some of those guys. They seem to fit the age requirement.

this coming from a guy whose team just aquired kidd last season... have you not been keeping up with the spurs' recent signings or what? we lost a couple of old farts and aquired plenty of youth so your statement is a bit off.

plus i'd rather have an old team that still can get out of round1 of the playoffs then a semi young team that can't do jack shit to get out of the 1st round.

WhooHoo! I posted two 360 versions of the game recently now here is the PSP version. I have been waiting for this ever since. You need your PSP modded to play this, just like modding your 360 to play those releases

NBA LIVE 09 is back with the best playing basketball game in the category that rewrites the book on authenticity and connectivity - but is still accessible enough for new users to get in on the ground floor.

Game features:

Dynamic DNA: The brain behind the game is powered by the premier analytics provider using NBA data for over 20 NBA teams, which evaluates Player DNA that breaks down how a player scores, Team DNA that rates how the players on the floor play as a unit and Tendencies that refer to the percentage a player drives left, right or shoots from each spot on the floor.

NBA LIVE 365: Made fresh daily all season long. NBA LIVE 365 takes it to a whole new level of connectivity, providing you an unprecedented level of authenticity and realism. Now every game truly is different powered by Dynamic DNA data updating daily.

Live Rewind: You can replay previous games with the updated statistical data that recreates identical conditions including injuries, hot/cold streaks, tendencies and player DNA. Pick-and-Roll Control This new two-man game mechanic lets you control both the ball handler and the screener, as you set screens and run two man plays, with on court instructions popping up to guide you through each play.

5-on-5 Online Play: All 10 players on the court can now be controlled by users on 10 different consoles around the world. Now the game outcome can be completely dependent on how you play as an online team
