althugh i love nba live… i have to admit
that in nba 2k9 kobe looks like the real kobe by far..
they even put the sleeve white at home… while nba live put it black
nba 2k9 looks pretty real.
NBA 2k9’s Kobe by FAR.
Holy heck it doesn’t even compare.
Nba Live’s Kobe looks like a crossover between Lamar and some person with a really big head… not flattering at all.
2K9 Kobe will play a lot more true to life, that’s for sure.
