Does it matter how long you hold it down like last year?

or do you have to time the jump shot?

Yeah, shot release does matter this year. Supposedly the arc of your shot will show if you released too late or too early.

I honestly don't understand the cartoonish player model comments

LMAO! How are you of all people gonna talk about broken records when you're on an infinite loop in the 2K boards about marketing? Oh my god.

It stuns you that people don't like the look of the game? It just doesn't look good to some of us man, we have a right to say it, regardless if whether or not we buy it. Videos are posted to solicit comments in general, not praise. We post our reactions to it, good or bad. Sorry it irks you we don't share your enthusiasm for a product that doesn't look like it will live up to our standards.


Not really.

I'm definitely picking up a JO or Calderon alternate jersey on opening night. Those are sexy.

BehindShadows is really defending Live like its his own now isn't he? Jesus, the game does not look that great. Sure, the textures are great, the court-great, the commentary-great. But then.......
animations-average, player models-subpar, movement in general-average, dunk animations-average. Everything about live aside from the LOOK of the game is just, average. I don't know how you can say that it's going to be a great game judging by that video.....

Looking forward to the demo - looks like they have made some strong strides to this point and have tightened up some things (especially the ball physics off of the rim) IMO, but it seems they may just be about another year away from stealing any thunder from 2K -

How can some of you at every step emphasize that it's soooo much better than 08? it is not that hard to accomplish, because 08 was average!!

I totally agree with bingballa - the sound, commentary and crowd reactions are superb.

However, I don't dig the graphics, the way the players look and definitely animations.

This game in my eyes does not represent real basketball - and that's what I expect from a basketball game - these are my standards and personal opinion.
