NBA Live 09 for PlayStation 2

Some players have greatness in their genes. Now a video game does too! Each player in NBA Live 09 has been built with all-new Player DNA, with opponent-by-opponent tendencies broken down so you know where to look for the hot hand. You can also take advantage of Hot Spots 2.0, an on-court, in-game display showing where each player likes to shoot. Start out in Practice Mode to focus on the fundamentals.
