They really need to revamp the entire game and start from scratch...

Believe me if the Czar likes then it is good...This guy is a genius when it comes to basketball. Just watch his videos. And if this game is going to be as good as every review says it is then why would they start from scratch, when they can finally over take 2k this year (not saying it will happen, just a possibility. With no gameplay vids from 2k i cant say anything).

Great write up Czar. Now I know whos getting my $60. Player and Team individuality is key for me so I have a feeling I will be playing this game all the time.

Can't wait to delve into Live's new authentic playbooks.

Check this Blazer fans amazing post breaking down their offense with a bunch of video.

I'll be sure to use this as a reference to make sure Live got my Blazers offensive sets in the game.

"Players can walk, run, and sprint all dependent on the right stick pressure"

Did you mean right trigger? Excellent writeup anyways....

Good stuff, Czar. Can't wait to try this beast myself next Thursday -- everything I've been thinking seems to be the case (mainly that you won't really appreciate the game until you get your hands on it). I love that you said that we have to play "basketball" not a video game... I think that's what almost all of us here in the sim community want. Finally games are starting to deliver on that, and hopefully both games do that this year. Glad to hear Live is heading in the right direction.

EDIT: Yeah, I was gonna ask about that bit. He could've meant left stick (movement) or RT (turbo pressure)... probably worth clarifying Big Czar.

Great write-up Da_Czar...Did anybody have that feeling of hearing Czar voice while reading the article? lol
