Control Schemes to Fit Every Player
EA Sports' All-Play line of games specializes in making it easier and less intimidating for new players to hit the court and play against anyone, regardless of their own level of ability, by allowing them to choose the control style that best suits their skills. Novice players, more focused on a casual, quick fun, and better suited to a less intense learning curve can choose to use a All-Play's basic control scheme. Here one gesture and a single button press performs all the actions and increases your success rate in all aspects of the game. For example, having trouble deciding who to pass the ball to? You can let the CPU point you in the right direction with on-screen pass indicators and one-button actions or effortlessly take over the direction of the game with All-Play's 'Point and pass' feature, which allows you to dish out passes by simply pointing, resulting in controlled, crisp ball movement.

If on the other hand, you've squeaked through a few quarters on the hardwoods in your day, NBA Live 09 All-Play also offers a classic controller configuration. Just turn the Wii Remote on its side and take advantage of all the movement, shot and switching options you have grown used to over the years. Regardless, of how you choose to use the Wii Remote or your skill level, you will be lighting up defenders and getting stops as soon as you step on to the court.
