Wow, Live is looking great. I haven't been in the Live forums in years, but thought I drop by and check out how the game was coming along. I'm impressed!

I love the passing out of shots animations, they really look fluid. Only thing that looked a little off was after scoring a layup/dunk animations. They looked a little herky jerky.

Other than that though, VERY impressed. And this is coming from a HUGE 2k guy.

I love how you guys are like, "It was very fluid aside from herky jerky layup/dunk animations!" This may just be me, but whem i do a great looking crossover to blow by man but then throw down an atrocious dunk with terrible animation, it reall ruins my experience.

Im Tired of seeing videos of players that dont know basketball 101

I dont know how i feel, i guess uncertain is the best way to describe my reaction. There were times that i was like okay EA finally caught up then the choppy dunk sequences and robotic animations made think differently. But then i look at the arena and crowd reactions (especially front row guys clapping and showing excitment when anticipating a great play is about to unfold) was extraordinary cool! I dont know gotta wait for demo to give them $60 more bucks (picked up madden and im satisfied with it too). But 2k already have their $60 set aside.

Not try to pick a fight or bicker but lil sutff like pick and roll and passing out of a shot should be part of the core gameplay. This is next gen not sega genesis, these should have been basic functions in nba live 06-08. That's why they lost me during the dreamcast era, they take their popularity and history for granted by depriving their customers by omiting neccesary gameplay just to add it to the next variation and dress it up as a new feature or enhancement.

Though the people playing didn't really do the game justice, you can clearly see that it flows a lot better than 08. Some of the animations are still a little odd, but definitely a step up. I'm also noticing most people's jump shots look like they release on the way up. I really didn't like Lebron's sig shot, but may be that was because of the users playing. The game looks ok though. Can't wait to actually play it.
