DESCRIPTION

NBA Live 09 on PlayStation 2 offers new features designed to enhance the on-court action you'll experience while managing your favorite pro basketball team. One of the more distinctive additions is "dynamic DNA," which focuses on real-life behaviors or tendencies of teams and individual players. Statistical data on each NBA game is transferred online to NBA Live 09 on a daily basis. If a player goes on a cold streak in real life, his ratings will be adjusted within the game. If a player prefers to shoot from a specific spot on the court, his behavior will be reflected in his digital counterpart.

NBA Live 09 also continues the role-playing like "Be a Pro" mode first offered in NHL 09. As in the hockey title, you play a single athlete on the court while gradually building his stats and abilities over time. Target and sign free agents with the new negotiation mini-game in the Dynasty Mode, and lead your offense with the help of color-coded hot spots indicating the likelihood of a successful shot. Rounding out the feature list is an interactive practice facility called the NBA Academy and an expanded FIBA tournament with 24 national teams. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
