    Not the greatest basketball game, especially if you take the sport seriously. You're best sticking wtih football on Wii. [Dec 2008, p.68]

    NBA Live 09 All-Play for Wii is still far off the last games that used the All-Play philosophy. It doesn't have important new features and didn't solve the problems of the previous version with some annoying controls and animations. Wii doesn´t have many choices in basketball games so NBA Live 09 will be interesting only for basketball fans.

    Imbalanced gameplay, a lack of career mode, poor online, and a gameplay system that just isn't fun make it hard to enjoy NBA Live 09: All-Play.

    It's not a great game by any stretch of the imagination, but I've enjoyed it so far!

    The shooting in the game is so easy, that it is a little too easy. I was expecting more customization like the the NBA 2k games have had. There is so little in the game that it gets boring quickly.… Expand

    I was hoping after the atrocious effort in NBA 08, EA would step it up a bit. However, while the jumpshooting is no longer impossible, the game has these annoying arrows are on your screen that lets you know (and your opponent) where the ball is going to go if you decide to pass it. Still no Franchise Mode. Player ratings and Team ratings make no sense (i.e. Dwight Howard is an 80, the Sixers are the worst team in the NBA, significantly worse than team Canada) and most of the rookies are Free Agents, not on their assigned teams. Another pathetic effort… Expand
