First NBA Live 09 Screenshots

[jnb5001]

The bottom line is if live 09 makes the improvements in animation from 08 to 09 like madden did then live is on the right track back to the top. I'm gonna buy it regardless. I enjoyed 08 but it did have things that begged the s@#t out of me. If they can fix those things with the animations i'll be happy. I can't see ea taking steps back from 08 so i know this year will be enen better. Alot of people bash ea games but they are really opening their ear to the community, so im sure those bugs will be addressed. I grew up on live from back in the genesis days so i'm still amped at the progress the game has made the last 15 years. Can't wait for some videos showing the improved animations

Thing is, we know the game will look good. So these screens aren't much help right now. Thing is, we need t osee the game in motion. How well the players move and interact with defenders, how the bodies collide and bump inside. How the ball interacts with players hands and the rim.

Seriously.

I don't even play Live and that bugs the heck out of me. They come in here just to post the same o' nonsense. "Live Sucks", "Live looks like crap. Look at Gasol's eyelashes. They all ****ed up.", "Live is pure garbage", "2K is gonna kill Live."

Who cares? It's so damn childish. What kind of response are they looking to get? What are you really looking to get out of their posts? Do they feel better now that they bashed Live?

I just don't get where all the hatred and criticism comes from. It's really lame.

I'm done now...The screenshots look great as they always do. I'm curious to how much improvement they'll have from this point up until the game's release since they already look this good. And like everyone else said, I would like to see some videos.

Looking at the trolling in this thread and some in the Madden section, I am kind of disappointed that the mods do not clean it up a bit more. Anyway, the pictures look impressive as always, but I am waiting for the gameplay videos to see if the series has take another step forward. I hope it has.

You realize how early of a build it is, and there are no 2K9 screenshots, and even if they didn't improve from last year, 2K9 will NEVER be able to compete with graphics in LIVE so no on here should be talking.

Wow one would think for first images, EA would at least put their BEST photos up, but these zoomed in players faces look horrific for (2009). I am not a EA basher, I just want a good game, I know they released these as the Lakers and Celtics are playing, but show me the MONEY!
