The much anticipated demo of EA’s NBA Live 09 is now available for Xbox Live users. This comes with no announcement from EA as yet but we are sure one is soon to follow!

The demo features a video explaining Live 365 to start things off then throws you into the Celtics practice gym we have seen in the gameplay videos previously. One thing setting this apart from previous years is there is actually other players shooting around in the gym with you and huge highlight screens playing in the backgrounds which look quite impressive.

The demo offers a reasonable taste of the gameplay as it allows you to play as the Lakers v Celtics with normal lineups or with two variations using Lives Rewind feature.

Unfortunately the demo quarters are set at two minutes only, and you only get to play through one half. It is much better than nothing though and we are eager to dig into it more.

Stay tuned for our impressions to follow and get to downloading it, or for all of our NBA Live 09 coverage you can see here.

Update: You can view our extended thoughts on the demo and how EA showed how to do a demo the right way, right here.
