Which game should I buy?

NBA Live 06 was the last good Ball game from EA. Although the game was rather easy. I had Bogut averaging 30ppg, 18rpg, 22bpg. Then EA went on their usual "Let's improve on last years 'already sound' gameplay and ruin it" process and screwed themselves.

I've owned and played Live 03-08 and the series died in the arse after 06'. 2K9 is probably the best ball game I've played in a while and certainly fixed the majority of bugs the series had in 2K8.

Personally I prefer the AI in 2K9 and that the system runs plays based upon your playing style. The hot spots actually work nicely and ball pressuring AI players actually has an effect on the shot 9/10 times.

Once you get used to the mechanics of the 2K system, it's far more enjoyable than Live.

Pretty much summed it up there twenty four.
Live = arcade
2k9 = a very good sim, and with some slider changes you can make it as aracade as you like.

Live 09 isn't as bad as the past few before that, they were terrible. Either one you will be happy with, just find personally i get more out of 2k9 than live.
