Highlight videos are playing on the TV screens, etc. You have 3 game options, all Lakers vs. Celtics. Normal, and 2 rewind games (11/23/07 and 6/8/08). You can view the historical box score for both games. Quarters are 2 minutes long. You only play 1 half. The crowd looks awesome, and hearing Marv Albert and Steve Kerr rules. The tip off is fixed!!! hooray! Wow, this doesn't really feel like Live 08, 07, etc. I can't describe it, but it feels more "real". Doesn't feel like the jittery Live feel if that makes sense. Everything feels tighter. Sig shots look fantastic. The atmosphere is great, crowd chanting "defense,defense". I'm sold. EDIT - Love the 2 man pick game, nice addition.

sweet, I keep saying the crowd looks great from the vids tat are out, I think it looks like the best crowd in a sports game. I hope it's aviaible for the ps3 TODAY! I got a Giants game to watch tonight.

There needs to be more though. There is a lot of variation when taking the ball to the hole, but there needs to be more on a jump shot. There is a lot of positves that I see so far, but the amount of clean jumpshots is really high.

What time does PSN shop usually update?

[Mintsa]

Another 3 questions.......

1) How does the release on the jumpshots feel ???

2) Can we get some more impressions on rebounding ?? Does it have a more "2k" feel to it ?? Is it better/worse ??

3) How was the tip off fixed ??? What does it look like ?? What does it do now different the in the vids ?? Is it timing or do you mash the buttons ??


thanks,


PS: The PSN usually updates around 6 to 7 pm EST.

LOL @ Live still having this issue. I remember on Live 05 I had to scale down everyone's blocks because of this with the highest block rating being a 15
