    Guys, I know there is already a "official NBA 2k10" thread but my question is this, which game to get? I will be purchasing one of them tommorrow and would like to get an opinion on which do you prefer and why. I was a live player up until Live 05, then I switched to the 2k series because of the realism but it seems that ever since I switched, the 2k series havn't made any significant upgrades where as I hearing about all of the improvements that Live has made. Help me out guys, I don't wanna feel like I have been ripped off by the gaming giants.

    Did you ever wonder why there is no "NBA Live 2010 thread"?

    Because it blows...

    just rent Live, I did last year thinking they made strides, and I feel ripped off by paying $7+ renting it at Blockbuster

    gamerankings.com has the 2 games close as far as score 81.79 for 2K compared to 81.57 for Live 10, some believe its not even close

    btw, buy both and get a 3rd game free, heh Toys R' Us is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale for all games

    Live is better on PC because there is a devoted fanbase that mods it to become a more realistic sim.

    Good luck finding 2k10 for PS3 or 360 at any Toys R Us. I picked up my copy at the katy mills yesterday, and there was 2 left for PS3(said there was 3 left when I called). Its not available anywhere else according to the inventory checker.

    I played the Live 10 demo and actually enjoyed it, but bought 2k10.

    2k10 is damn fun. Great everything. The My Player mode is money.

    Amazon is having a similar deal but there is limit of a list of games in which 2k and i think Live 10 is part of it along with Halo ODST/GH5/Beatles Rock Band

    Live hasn't been released on the PC since the 08 release though, right?

    I am HATING the controls to NBA2k so far, might just be due to the fact it's a port to the PC. (xbox controller).

    I've played both extensively enough. I'm a 2K player, and decided to try Live out this year as well. Live is an OK game. It's getting better.

    2K is still a much better game. The My Player mode alone puts it above the Live game. Eye-candy wise, I think 2K looks muuuuch better.

    There are performance issues I've run into with 2K this year though. Word is there will be a patch to help alleviate that.

    I own both games, and I highly recommend 2K over Live.
