NBA 2k9 - hands on

[Pero]

Live 2000 was a great game. Then EA went and fired everyone and Live 2001 was a steaming pile of horse crap.

Ah so that's what happened...

Live 2003 is the only bright spot since.

You really think so? For me 2003 wasn't anything special, better than 2001, but still it sucked. The only one I really liked after 2000 was 2005.

I liked 03 because it was well-done for what it was: a fast-paced arcade game. If you wanted something realistic like the 2k/ESPN series, I can see hating Live 2003 though.

Live 2005 is the best basketball videogame in existence.

I love the OH, WHAT A PASS! as I throw the ball right to the other team in heavy traffic.

Yeah, it scares the out of me every time

- Sometimes, at the start of the 4th quarter, I can't inbound the ball, because nobody wants to pick up the ball; I have to burn a time out to inbound

I have the same issue. Don't call a time out just pause the game and unpause it. It kinda jumpstarts things.

It has worked for me when the ref has the ball is his hands, but for some reason doesn't do .

Does it work when the ball stays on the floor ?
