My basic notes from listening to it, not including the small talk and 09 questions.
DNA will be full fledged this year and improved
authenticity focus with body types and lighting
TV presentation, plus stuff TV cant do
they consult ESPN
huge focus on passing
new passing mechanics announced later
will build on NCAA game's fast break logic
NCAA spacing and different styles of play (pacing, tempo) will come over to live
improving help and on ball defense is a focus
evidently NBA Live 10 is the name
365 free with new version of the game/charge for used will continue

I'll have to have a listen sometime today but thanks for the summary. 
I think it's definitely a good idea to keep 365 free on purchase of a new copy, that would've been a tough sell at least after only one season.
