And in other news, NBA 2K9 is still a sure bet to remain miles ahead of the EA sports title.

Nice gimmick, though.

Saw this article and thought it was about Sony's own basketball series with the same name! I think you missed the word 'Live' from that headline between NBA and '09, EG?

While the NBA 2K usually turns out to be the best basketball game, it's also the laziest in terms of updates from one year to the next, with the last three versions on the 360 being almost indistinguishable from each other.

EA's Live series is the one that's shown the most improvement IMO from 06 to 08 (much like the FIFA series in fact) but then it needed to. While it wasn't perfect, I have to confess that I enjoyed NBA Live 08 far more than NBA 2K8 (demo) so it was the first year I never bought the 2K Sports game. If NBA Live continues to improve then 09 should be even better than 08 and it arguably looks better visually, has slicker menus than 2K Sport's awful efforts plus better presentation. That said, I dunno whether I'll be buying ANY basketball game this year as I think I've reached saturation point!!! LOL

It does look very poor in terms of animations and boyd models, not to mention i say a pass that looked like a cannon ball.

2k is 3 generations ahead.

But nhl 09 should be a great game, like fifa 09.
