I was disappointed to see Beasley's closeout/recovery on the pick-n-pop with Aldridge, he covered too much ground too quickly so I guess that's still in 2K9. It'd be nice to see a wide open mid-range shot every now and then, they're pretty much non existent in 2K games.

...Steve was the Heat.

[ehh]

I thought he was but couldn't remember when I made my post, then I went back and edited my post 15 min later because I remember Oden running around like an idiot dribbling from the lane extended to the block and hoped that wasn't the CPU doing it.

I loved how Wade faked like he was gonna use the pick, drove the lane, got fouled, stumbled backwards and rolled over. Then when he missed the 1st free throw he punched the rock. It's little things like that that do it 4 me...

Pared, can moments like that be found in Live?

Regardless of how good or bad the commentary is in this game, I can't see how people can play with it turned off... presentation wise, this video seems mad empty without it lol

Why does the video always stop half way through or is it just me..It's buffered 100% and it stoped right after they do the jump ball..does anyone know whats going on.

gotta agree with you there. even though the commentary needs improvement, i still need to hear it to get that realistic feel.

watchin this video made me wonder when commentary was first introduced to sports video games. i remember nfl 2k was the first game that the commentary really stood out to me. after a year of playing i was still hearing new lines.

I am seeing tumbles and off balance shots here and there. The difference I would say is that even the tumble looks to be signature D-Wade. In Live most of the off-balance ani's are slight and simply specific to their positions in general.
