NBA Live 09 takes a swing at 2K with a sim-flavoured Quicktime mode and a TV-style presentation that means well. The result stays mild, the gameplay a bit soft, but EA fans can squeeze out a few pleasant evenings on 360 without complaint.

Collector interest

The Asian edition of NBA Live 09, an EA Sports basketball simulation distributed for the Asian markets. American basketball keeps an enthusiast audience in Asia, but this annual series, soon replaced each season, had only a measured regional run there. Desirability rests on the ephemeral nature of annual sports editions, rarely reissued, and on the inherent scarcity of an Asian pressing of a specific vintage of the franchise.
