NBA Live 09 Gameplay Video (Gamersyde)

I really don't like the animations, they still look weird.

You, sir, speak the truth.

That video changed my view of the game a little but not in a positive way. It looks better than last year's game but that is not saying a whole lot. I was excited about the game's potential until I saw the video and now it has been replaced by skepticism. The transition between animations were VERY choppy and it still looks like it's too easy to score. The thing that troubles me to most is that it appears that a defender jumping at your shot doesn't affect it at all. That's not good. It also seems to be a re-occurring theme with these videos that it's too easy to get to the rack still.

I do keep in perspective that it's a couple of cheesers and they may not have a grasp on the word Defense. Right now, I'll have to wait for the demo to see if it is worth dropping an additional $60 on. 2K has yet to let me down.

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.

Agreed, but I think these animations actually look better than 2k's passing out of shots animations.

Now I'm a 2k man myself..but live is looking damn good. I haven't played live since like 96, but if I see more videos like that with better people playing the game, I might just might have to go out and get it.

2k betta watch out live is right on their butt.

Man I am sorry, but after seeing these more recent videos, the only thing 2K has to worry about is being bought by EA. This game is not looking up to par in my opinion. Ugh, those animations man, what the hell. This is 2008.

Jumpshots look awful but I like the way players handle the ball. The overall feel is better as well. Dunks need work. LBJ looks like an animal...talent and face wise...lmao.
