NBA 2K9 has gotten better reviews overall, but not by too much. Some of the major online review sites, like IGN, GameSpot and 1up, all gave NBA 2K9 a noticeably better review. I would read through a number of them to get a general idea myself of the strong and weak points of each game.
Also, something I always find helpful is reading user reviews:

NBA 2K9's gameplay is far superior if you ask anyone that's played it. I've played both games and can attest to that. The player's move easily in response to the controller as well as behave more lifelike. Not to mention NBA Live has a reputation for being unrealistic and has more "And1 Style" whereas 2K9 is much more methodical and true to basketball.
