^ You are right. I played both demos and the Live demo is very slippery compared to 2K9. I could see playing Live against a friend on some run and gun straight fun factor stuff. But if I can only get one (and thats the case b/c I'm a broke medical student) it has got be NBA 2K9.

Can anyone explain how the pick control works. I know that you press B on the 360 to get a pick set. Is there a way to tell your player to roll or pop? Thanks

I'm pretty sure I flip these every time I explain it, but either way it's one or the other:

tapping O (B 360) does a fake pick, where the PF/C quickly sets a pick and rolls out of it regardless of you taking it or not. Holding it sets a pick where the guy will pop afterward. Just pressing it in like normal brings an average Quick P&R.

2k feels waaay more slippery to me but is the better game overrall.

Are the dribbling packages used the same way on the 360? with the left and right triggers or is it like College hoops with the B button?

Man, I could shoot those leaners all day...

First game I played, I was taking ridiculous shots with Kobe, one of them didn't make contact with the rim, and the crowd started chanting "airbaaaall, airbaaaaall."
