Nine new screenshots have been released by EA for NBA Live 09.  This game series has come a long way since ‘Lakers vs. Celtics’ was released in 1989.  09 features Tony Parker on the cover and is set for an October 7, 2008 release.  Some of the new features include “pick and roll control”, “signature playcalling”, “NBA Academy”, “lockdown control” and “Quickstrike AnkleBreakers”.  According to EA, the AI has also been upgraded.  I haven’t actually played the game yet, but from what I’ve seen, it looks like it is a considerable improvement over NBA Live 08.
