If you could teach the user how to play the game differently... you might get what you're asking for. But as of right now, most games, despite using analog controls, are usually all or nothing in any given direction.

EXACTLY !!!!

I noticed it right off because I really use the slight movements but it would require sever user retraining. LOL

and As i think about it that would NOT be a priority for a dev team

Sliders that I don't remember seeing in '08 (Tomba and BS can verify if these are new or not as I don't feel like popping in '08 right now):

FATIGUE EFFECT
USER SINK OR SWIM EFFECTIVENESS
USER DEFENSIVE POST STRENGTH
USER FIGHT THROUGH SCREEN ABILITY
USER HANDS IN POST
USER HANDS ON PERIMETER

CPU ON-BALL PHYSICAL DEFENSE
CPU HELP SIDE DEFENSE EFFECTIVENESS
CPU SINK OR SWIN EFFECTIVENESS
CPU CLOSE OUT EFFECTIVENESS
CPU PASS ACCURACY

Played a few games so far. I like the dribble animations on Live though. I can't really put defenders in "the mix" like i'm used to...but I think that they're going in the right direction. It also could be that I'm not used to the controls either...lol

I was using the Finals Game 7 rosters for my video, not the current ones. I didn't actually notice if he was on the "current game" roster for the Lakers... I don't think so. And yeah, if you use the DNA from the November game, Bynum will be active and there is no Gasol -- that's the whole point of the system.

How come Sam Cassell isn't in the practice gym?

Well they stated in the beginning of the demo, that the rosters were from the 2007-08 season.

So they aren't current.

Also play a couple of those rewind games, like I did in Video two, and the lineups will be different as well based off that particular game.

Nice!!!
