I like that there are so many new features that really almost makes it just like real life.For example:DYNAMIC DNA - The brain behind the game is powered by Synergy Sports Technology, 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.īased on Last Night, Not Last Season -– NBA LIVE 365 takes it to a whole new level of connectivity, providing you an unprecedented level of authenticity and realism. Just loading the franchise takes 5 minutes of running around shooting and making layups this get very stupid after a while. The new feature this year is the loading screen which is kinda fun the first few times but I just want to get to playing. Frachise mode can get a little boring after a couple games and needs something to flare it up. Wh y can't we make our own player? It is weird why you can be any player in the league but you can't make one of yourself which was a downfall for me. Timeing a shot is also very difficult for the new NBA Live player but will soon have it mastered in about 4 games. Defenders are a little late to jump when going to block a shot, but you can't block every shot. Jukes and crossovers are very easy to do with just the move of the right stick.

The free throw controlls are tricky to the new NBA Live player but will soon master after a few games. It doesn't happen a lot but when it does it kinda drags you down. The only complaint that I have is there is still a little body morphing going on. Blocks also look very goodd in this game. The jerseys actually move when the player moves and doesn't just stand still. Kevin Garnett actually shoots like he does in real life.
Rounding out the feature list is an interactive practice facility called the NBA Academy and an expanded FIBA tournament with 24 national teams. As in the hockey title, you play a single athlete on the court while gradually building his stats and abilities over time. NBA Live 09 also continues the role-playing like "Be a Pro" mode first offered in NHL 09. "Quick strike ankle breakers" involve faking out defenders by tapping the turbo button and nudging the analog stick, while "lockdown control" improves defense by giving you the option to shut down a leading scorer. Pick and rolls can now be implemented by controlling both the ball handler and screener via on-court cues. Those who aren't interested in online play will notice several tweaks in the game's controls on both offense and defense. Users can also record footage of their most impressive slams or buzzer-beaters and upload the highlights to the publisher's EA Sports World service. Other Xbox Live features include five-on-five online play, which supports ten players on ten separate consoles, and custom leagues, which feature drafts, trades, and a single-elimination playoff structure. To take advantage of this dynamic DNA feature, which is optional, you have to be connected online. If a player prefers to shoot from a specific spot on the court, his behavior will be reflected in his digital counterpart. If a player goes on a cold streak in real life, his ratings will be adjusted within the game. Statistical data on each NBA game is transferred to NBA Live 09 on a daily basis. One of the more distinctive additions is "dynamic DNA," which focuses on real-life behaviors or tendencies of teams and individual players.
