The NBA Live 09 demo has made its way out onto the Xbox 360, and hopefully the Playstation 3 later on this afternoon as it is Thursday.  Within the demo, you can play as Paul Pierce in the practice mode, which I would suggest doing so you can get a handle on the controls for this year.  As for the rest, you get to play one half of basketball with two minute quarters, being able to adjust the difficulty and camera angles.

You have the opportunity to play as either the Lakers or the Celtics, and you can play around with the NBA Rewind feature using the two teams at different points throughout the actual season, or using them as they’ll be rated on the first day of Live being in stores.  You can also few the "What’s New" tab for a rundown on everything new that’ll be included into this year’s game.  Enjoy the demo, and let us know what you think!
