Exactly. We know from watching that big scrub take a ton of shots in the post. Especially early in the game. My point is in that 4 min I saw Arenas, Butler and Jamison all take shots. I'm not worried about Haywood getting too many shots or them not running their O.

I don't see it either.

People are overlooking the fact that the stars are getting solid touches, even in the post. In every single one of those videos, the big 2 or 3 guys per team or having the offense revolve around them when controlled by the CPU.

I can guarantee this will be even better in 2k10... but it's plenty great in 2k9.

The Calderon drive to the basket on a screen was a thing of beauty. The Arena foul was nice too! Thanks Steve!

Wasn't Steve controlling the Raptors? Thats what it looked like.

IIRC, yes he was.

2k keeps repeating the same flaws, but live seems to be really striving to overhaul their game. live is fixing all of 2k's lingering flaws and is actually changing their game on a functional level, not just adding surface detail and new animations. as of now, live has a better post game, dribbling control, court spacing, play calling, play variations...and even their animations are getting pretty smooth.

I don't get the complaints about Haywood... Caron Butler had was getting some good touches and so was Jamison. Haywood seemed to be the last resort pass to me.

LOL... I guess you're a prophet of some sort? Whereas you haven't played 2K9 yet....

Uh what? 2K has a winning formula, that's why they don't NEED to overhaul their game.

Live still has that feeling that you're not even controlling your player; it feels like you're pulling the player with a rope tied around their body. Just unresponsive and UNfun.
