NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here 360 & PS3

[ehh]

How the heck do you create a UK account or DL from the UK or whatever needs to be done? Is the demo ever going to be on the US servers?

just create a new log in account. then go to psn network and create a new psn name putting yourself in the UK instead of the USA.

good luck ehh. I think you'll like the demo. this really bodes well for NCAA BB 2009 since live and ncaa bb are the same engines.

Thanks, and that's exactly why I want to DL it - I have no intention of buying Live but I want some type of preview for what we'll see with NCAA09.

Played more of it, and I'm loving the controls. Just need to be expanded upon, and there's a few animations that you can't branch out of.

Something else I noticed, the game clock keeps running after a made basket and the ball is being inbounded, it should stop!

I hope we're allowed to edit existing players fully. Including dunk, dribble, signature jumpshot packages. This would make the game more realistic, never understood why we were restricted in doing so anyways.

A few of the block animations look pretty good, but the majority of them are clunky and the ball ricochets oddly on most of them.

I know a few people have thrown out a percentage of how complete and near final build this demo is, but can a member of EA please give us an accurate percentage. I'm hoping around 80% not the 95% that's been suggested.

Beluba said 95% when the demo came out so its 95%, if it was 80 the game probably would be delayed.

How do you bring on the fly subs again ???

Is it different than 08, I cant seem to do it for some reason ??

[Pared]

I think it was left on the d-pad.

I hate that you have to click in the right stick to take it off the screen. That just feels awkward to me.

that's a bit disappointing. The passing is inaccurate without using the icon passing, the shot clock issue should be fixed, and I still hate how most people finish off layups and dunks with their left hands when that rarely happens in real life.

I was hoping the demo is 2 or so months old and they've been working on stuff since then to iron out the final stages. Just because the demo is released at this point, doesn't mean it's the latest build they had. I saw the 95% quote, just wasn't sure if it was by Beluba or a EA staff member. Thanks though.
