So much nuance. The game is bananas...
I agree. I can't imagine how excruciating the wait would've been had they put this demo out a month ago

Gonna have to get the game for 360. PS3 version just looked weird on my TV. It was too dark or something.

Yea not very responsive sometimes. It almost like you have to wait for them to finish a sequence of animations before you can execute another. That's why i said the game has delay in execution of animations.

This can be a problem when it comes to online game because everyone knows there is always going to be a little lag online...but when you have a game that also has delay in execution...the timing for online games maybe really off.

I think my brother said it best when he said to me " live is for kids" kinda like trix. to me there is no way a live can compete with 2k in terms of a sim experience, which live has been tryna make for 3 years now since coming to nex gen. Live to me, is all about "gimmicks" (i.e. quick strike, NBA 365, Player DNA). They endorse these gimmicks in hopes that it appeals to the masses. Last year it was the "go-to moves", the year before that it was free style moves where only certain players could pull of "moves". All EA has to do is make a good game and incorperate that stuff into a smooth flowing game of basketball. basketball is game of reaction, you take what the defense gives you. In NBA 2K, you try to force a move, 9 times outta 10 its not going anywere should you be playing on a hard difficulty. in NBA 2k, you can't come down and jack up 3 after 3, you gotta think a lil...its not rocket science but if you wanna be successful, you gotta think a lil. NBA live juss doesnt seem to me to all that. to me, that is why live will always be numero 2. When it comes to an authentic basketball sim, you have to be playin 2K. if you wanna play a "sim" version of nba jam, nba ballers, or nba street, live is YOUR thing. If there is anyone who disagree, feel free to tell me different. NBA live is like an ameteur who is tryna get it right, NBA 2k is a pro that doesn't get it wrong....hold dat

What really seals the deal for me is the signature style play. The game is sick with it! I can't wait to play with Lebron James!
