sounds, looks, and is supposed to be a good game. The only thing that kind of dissapoints me, is that they never really do anything different with these within the transition of years besides graphics, and maybe one or two small features. I wish that NBA Live and Madden NFL would make some Major changes. But another side of me is not wanting that because the game is pretty good as it is and you don't know what kind of change it would be.(Good or Bad). Although, I do like what Madden NFL 09 did with the game this year, they did a good change, but NBA Live remains to stay consistant with no Major changes.
