NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Gamersyde)

[NINJAK2]

Looks better than 08. Played poorly by two noobs. No matter how sim these companies try to make a game, if two people make no attempt to play the right way they can make any game look wack!

Hmmm, animations were pretty horrible througout aside from a few good ones, seems like there is no "in between". And please don't say that the cheesing made the game look bad.. it didn't. Those animations under the basket need some serious tweaking before release. But sadly, i don't see that happening. I'll play the demo of course, but if it still feels awkward and still has too many dumb and shake animations, this is a no-buy for me. I was really hoping to have two great b-ball games this year. But I see it as another year of 2k reigning supreme again.

Oh please. Take this video with a grain of salt. This video does the game no justice.

The arrows are his tendencies to go right and left and the ball is his tendency to shoot from that spot.

If its red he heavily favors going to that side or shooting from that spot. If its blue he's less likely to do that action.

So lets say if the ball is red and the arrows are blue then his greatest tendency from that spot would be to shoot.

I understand what you're saying but his complaints were mostly about the animations. Those won't be any different when we play the game.

During the Billups layup, the cursor became a red basketball with 2 blue arrows rotating around it. Does anybody know what they mean? Maybe you have a choice of layup animations to do, and that animation happened by accident.
