Maybe your talking about baseline high/low....

Take a look at the mike wang video, where he showcases different camera angles.

I hadn't noticed it before but they have the retired Laker jerserys. I noticed something else today too but forgot what it was.

I remember what it was now. It was a crazy sick behind the back pass by Kobe.

It is a huge step in the right direction. First of all 2k9 really got under my skin last year with the terrible Iso-motion. The whole movement system needs scrapped in 2k. It is to robotic and causes a real lack of "speed" in the way players move and react. Now onto LIVE. I am throughly impressed with how smooth everything moves at. It is silky smooth cutting across the lane and doing a pull up. As you do a pull up and keep your momentum and fade in the same direction you were running. The skill stick or what ever they call the right stick for doing the cross overs and such is such a breath of fresh air compared to 2ks. Little things such as the arrow that shows the direction you have the left stick pressed is such a small thing but really helps in making correct passing to the man you want the ball to go to. All in all I am getting NBA Live 10 this year. Give me my New Orleans Hornets and let me dominate with Chris Paul

Phobia, you're my boy and I completely agree with everything you stated. I, too, am leaving 2k after having played their NBA exclusively for 7 years in favor of Live this year. Live just feels fresh where 2k feels stale.

2k's demo the players felt slow and robotic. Don't even get me started on Isomotion. Man, what a disappointment those controls are compared to the EA freestyle moves with the R-stick; much more fluid and responsive.

Same here. I'm still getting over the shock of planning to buy an NBA Live game. The gap between the 2 franchises has always been so big, but who knew it would all change in the span of a year.

Yea there in the game Pappy its just that this year EA decided not to give us alt camera option in the demo.

In the full game the cameras you are talking about are the baseline high/low cams same as the 2K and high cam in the other game.

My biggest gripe about NBA Live 10 are the cartoony graphics.
I want to love this game because Marcus is a good guy and a bit of a friend (I met him at the NCAA Basketball 09 event and have chatted with him online since 2004).
But those cartoony graphics are driving me crazy.
I am not anti-NBA Live whatsoever. I want both games to be great ... but whenever I play the Live demo, I feel like I'm looking at a cartoon.

I know that sounds stupid ... but IMO they overdid the graphics.

Whenever I play LIVE...my wife sits next to me on the couch and says "those graphics look cartoony".

I'm like "Nah...you're the only one who thinks that".

I'm going to tell her I was wrong LOL

Seriously...yeah, it does like cartoony compared to 2K.

But when you see things like the player momentum in motion.....it makes up for any flaws IMO

I was playing both demos back to back last night, and my wife walked in and said the same thing, Live looked like a cartoon. I laughed when she said it.
