NBA Live 09 Patch Released, Impressions Here

[Chairman7w]

(Chairman steps in) Relax folks, I can translate this. This is what he meant:


Well, i still haven't figured it out.

I like 2k9, but some things still concern me. For instance, I can't seem to hit a jump shot, or have any success with the post game, no matter what I do.

I used to play NBA 2K games on the Dreamcast, but I didn't like the gameplay on 2k6 and 2k7, so I traded them.

I went with live during those years, and I had tons of fun with it. I got 2k9, and i like it - it seems like a fun game.

However, it's been 2 weeks and i still can't beat the cpu on Pro Difficulty Level, whether on default or through adjusting sliders.

I'm not a basketball guru, and I hardly watch it anymore. My question is, "Should I trade in 2k9 and get live, especially now that the price has dropped?"

Just got the game today(wife bought it early for xmas).I'm a big bulls fan and i can play just like the bulls on Live. More so then i can on 2k9. You know how the bulls Drive and kick with Rose to have open 3s from BG/NOC/Larry? Well i can do it in this game were in 2k9 i really could not play like i wanna to. I got 2 good basketball games to play this year.Maybe 3 if Ncaa 09 is good(got that today to). I just don't know how to use the rewind. Reading some threads looks like it is some problems with it sometimes?

Can anyone tell me how to turn on fastbreaks for this game -just bought it -downloaded the patch (1.02) and cpu vs. cpu a few games on all-star but there are virtually no -none -fastbreaks - is there a slider fix? - am I missing something?

(chuckle... chuckle...) Let's let StephensonMC or Beluba answer this one.

I know the game is weak where cpu fastbreaks are concerned, but I gotta say - my last few games have been downright friggin' amazing.

the patch for online play is awful. The dunk to layup ratio has gone down so much, alleys result in a layup instead of A dunk. Just very poor, and the easy missed layup are killing it! What pro NBA player (besides Jordan Farmar, LOL) will miss 5-7 layup a game?
