NBA Live 09 Questions

  • Will NBA Live 09 be available for the PC?
No, NBA Live 09 will be a console only release. It was announced on April 8th, 2008 that there would not be a PC version of NBA Live 09, following an announcement that Madden 09 would also not be released on PC DVD-ROM.
  • Why won't NBA Live 09 be released for the PC?
EA Sports have not elaborated further on their reasons for dropping the PC version since the announcement but cited "serious business challenges" as the reason the PC versions of NBA Live and Madden were dropped. However, the decision is likely due to the decline in sales and popularity of NBA Live on the PC platform.
  • Will NBA Live return to the PC?
At this point the future of NBA Live on the PC is up in the air. There has been no announcement of a return for NBA Live 2010 as yet but there has been mention of re-evaluating and revitalising the PC platform. For now, we will have to wait and see.
  • Where are the Legends?
It was announced in a Q&A on the official NBA Live 08 website that NBA Live 09 will not include any legendary players.
