NBA Live 09 Release Date
EA Sports basketball launches
But despite the NBA Live series' popularity level among casual gamers, many hardcore NBA fans don't view the game as a serious simulation of basketball but more as an arcade title. Regardless of what people think, NBA Live has the money, the support from EA sports, and the advertising necessary to stay the top-selling NBA basketball title for many years.
NBA Live 09 Release Date Soon
The NBA Live 09 release date will be on October 9th, 2008 as many NBA fans are anxious to get their hands on a copy of the game. Fans of the NBA Live series love the individual breath-taking moves they can execute and the flashy dunks they can pull off with NBA superstars in addition to the robust franchise modes and fast-breaking, high-scoring game play.
EA Sports appears to be dropping the "20-" moniker on the NBA Live series and just going with the '09 tag as far as the name of the game goes.
New features sure to be seen on the NBA Live 09 release date by gamers include enhanced pick and roll control, lockdown defense control, signature play calling, and quick-strike ankle breakers.
NBA 365 Seen on the Release Date
People have mainly been waiting to get their hands on a copy of NBA Live 09 in order to check out the new NBA 365 mode, which EA Sports has been hyping up for some time on its commercials for the game. The NBA 365 mode will keep track of real-life happenings in the NBA world and integrate them into your own franchise mode so as to keep everything as fresh as possible.
The NBA Live 09 release date is never met with the same kind of enthusiasm that the Madden release date is but this year expect decent sized groups of people waiting for the game because of this feature alone. It is a clever solution to the problem that has plagued sports video gaming for some time: keeping the rosters updated and fresh so as to maintain realism.
NBA Live Slipping to NBA 2k9?
The NBA Live series has taken a lot of heat for its lack of realistic game play in recent years but it does appear as if EA Sports is trying to fix things up and make the game almost as relevant as the Madden series, which draws much more critical praise and has a much higher profile.
Whether or not the new features make NBA Live 09 a true classic remains to be seen but the NBA Live 09 release date will be the day that gamers will find out if the series can continue to stay relevant and at the top of the NBA video game heap for both now and in the foreseeable future.
