NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Gametrailers)

[bigeastbumrush]

There were some subtle things in there that I liked.
-Bellinelli 'hooking' Bynum as he drove in the lane.
-Alot of wrist action on jumpers. Like you see guys snap their wrists when they release a shot. Looks really defined.
-Breaking out of a jab step looks smooth. Not herky jerky. Fisher and Odom did it.

Disliked:
-Contested shots seemed to have no effect as every shot went in.
-Every jumper is a clean swish. Hope they change this next year. It would be good to see an occassional jumper rattle in or spin around the rim or even spin out.
-There seemed to be clipping after Kobe's dunk because the ball warped into a GS player's hands.

Everything's GREAT





EXCEPT the player collision. Its what hurting Madden 09 as well. great animations players make great transitions alone but when players HIT each other or bump against each other there is stutter.

The sound in this video is phenomenal.

I like how big the court looked in relation to the players, I'm a 2k fan but the court seems too small usually.

I don't like the graphics though, not that they are bad but 2k and Live both have different approaches and I just happen to prefer the style that 2k has.

I've seen a shot hitting the rim before getting inside. I don't remember the video. I think it was on a video with the Heat (probably Beasley making the shot)

Great feedback so far.

Just so you know, there are shots that hit the rim

Maybe this is not the thread to ask you stephen, but you've been very active here, so:

Is there any one handed pass in the game?

I don't know how to explain (my english is bad as hell ). Let's figure out. My PG is dribbling the ball with his right hand in the middle of the court. I want to pass the ball to a teammate in the right side of the court. Is there any animation where my PG passes the ball just with his right hand? Or will he catch the ball with both hands and pass it?

It's nothing, but i think it's very realistic, and more dynamic. The PG could pass the ball right after you press the button, instead of making the whole animation of catching the ball, bla bla bla...

Hope that you all understand, this is hard for me
