How does that make sense? so a 97 rating for Kobe and a 93 rating for Howard is not overall indicative of how good they are as a player? I see little reason to believe what you just said. especially when Synergy provides them with a wealth of info on what each player is good and weak at.

Guys, the ratings argument stops NOW.

This thread is about the Live impressions. Stop side-tracking it.

Create a new thread STRICTLY for ratings if you'd like.

Rashard wasn't known for anything before playing next to Dwight Howard, let's not forget that. He was an 18 PPG scorer on a bad Sonics team, and he's an 18 PPG scorer on a great Orlando team, Rashard hasn't changed as a player. Vince averages 1 steal per game btw, as does Rashard. There is not much evidence to state Rashard is a much superior defender to Vince; they are both average. Vince can beat any SG off the dribble and he's an incredible shooter, he's a much better offensive option than Lewis. Lewis can post up and it doesn't even translate into higher assist numbers, go figure? He chucks 3's and he converts them at a high rate, Vince is much more well rounded.

No more ratings talk guys. Lets keep this on topic. Last warning.

Steve, do you take questions? I want to know more about on-ball/perimeter defense - is there a lot of contact, esp when players are driving to the lane? Or is it "invisible force field" like?

Great write-up btw, thanks!

Illegal screen? Wow.

Hate that they still don't have number indicators for the sliders though, but it's minor.

hi steve i must know this one:

while you played against the magic did you felt that Nelson is taking too much control
like in live 09??? or he was solid letting Howard and Carter being the firsts options on the attack???

I like all the user control it sounds like it has , i kinda think they went overboard with the pick roll controls as last years was okay but maybe there's more to it this year and they added more user control to it im interested oin seeing how this will work, i can't wait to get my hands on it. thank's for the demo review steve.
