I am honestly more impressed by Live's feature. But I am pretty sure they won't use it as well as it COULD be used

Which is amazing that the fanboys in here are like ZOMG!! 2K killz livez again

Now the possibilty of adding new animations is intriguing, but I wonder how they plan on doing that. That's amazing if they pull it off with frequency.

Other than that, its the same thing, but Im glad both games have it.

Execution is the key, and as I said about 365 from jumpstreet, we'll have to wait and see how its handled before we label it great.

It's the same thing.

If you don't think so, you've bought into the hype.

It's all about marketing.

2k8 had animations added post-patch as well. What's the difference between last year and this year?

This year they're actually marketing the feature.

It actually isn't. Until I can be shown that 2K has the tendencies (which I am more concerned about) that Live has, I have to go with Live.

Pick N Roll/Pop/Fade Frequency
How often they drive right/left
Isolation Frequency

ON PAPER, Live's system is more exciting to me. I am pretty sure 2K has the same general tendencies that they had in the past.

I am not saying Live will be a better game or that Live's system will work BETTER than 2K's system.

I am just saying that the depth of their system ON PAPER is much more appealing/authentic

Same thing, 2 different executions in 2 different systems.

It doesn't make sense for us to go back and forth on this. You can believe what you want... but you're wrong...

Ok

Either way man, people getting over excited like it was unheard of before yesterday is funny... but as I said, im glad they are both doing it, and it all comes down to execution of the feature.


Its something thats only going to take these games forward in the future, so its best for the fans when its said and done.
