NBA Live 09 ROM Description

Do you want your roster to reflect the real NBA season as it unfolds? NBA Live 09 for PS3 and Xbox 360 uses a cool Dynamic DNA system to deliver daily roster updates. With some key additions, this 2008 release builds on the franchise strengths of fast gameplay and easy controls.

Dynamic DNA adjusts player attributes and tendencies based on their performance in the real NBA. So hot streaks, injuries, and breakout stars are reflected in your game. The system also suggests authentic plays for stars, with on-screen markers showing your role. An intuitive pick-and-roll mechanic lets you dictate your teammate’s movement too.

But while playcalling is more strategic, teammates still don’t move much off the ball otherwise. Icons are needed for accurate passing, as the ball rarely goes where expected. And solo coast-to-coast drives are tougher now, thanks to tenacious defense. You’ll have to move the ball more carefully.

Defensive deficiencies remain as well, with slow reactions to cuts and poor double teams. User-controlled rebounding can feel fruitless regardless of timing. And contested layups miss more than they should. At least lockdown defense is effective for blanketing your man.

The breadth of modes impresses, from the FIBA World Championships to the All-Star Dunk Contest. Dynasty mode gets an intuitive interface but suffers odd MVP selections and crashes. Online lags with multiple humans but plays smoothly otherwise.

Presentation is uneven; sleek pregame intros and player models contrast with robotic transitions and dull in-game overlays. The commentary covers the action well without sounding recycled.

While not a drastic overhaul, NBA Live 09 adds meaningful strategic depth through Dynamic DNA and easy playcalling. The fast-paced action the series is known for still shines. Basketball fans should enjoy this 2008-2009 season update. Get in the game yourself by downloading the ROM at ROMsdl.NET!
