Start of Jazz/Raptors game, Boozer goes up for the layup (awesome adjustment in mid-air) and screams, "OH!!" as he tries to get a foul call.

YES

Love the fighting down low. At 08:58, Jordan Hill has Biedrens in a damn arm lock

Waiting for both demos before I make a purchase decision.The last two years I've bought 2k on day one and then bought Live as a change of pace later in the season.Both times Live has not lasted long in this house, which is sad because I played Live religiously in the 90s...I desperately want to believe the hype, but after all the other EA disappointments can you blame me for waiting for the other shoe to drop? I want this game to be right because quite frankly I am tired of the 2k hoops engine that it seems live I've been playing since 2k5 on the xbox

amen. I was a 2k customer long enough. 2k9 was the final straw when I learned they're sticking with the same gameplay engine since dreamcast and made no improvements to control and ai. so I'm rooting for live 10 only because they're making the NBA game I want to play.

Love the subtle animations like offensive players holding their face after a perceived foul and made bucket.

MJ-No improvements in 2k's A.I. since dreamcast? Come on.....

Yeah, someone (Calderon? can't remember) hit the deck and didn't get the call and did a Duncan Face/"WTF?" animation looking for the call while he was on the ground. The Bargnani thing where he lagged behind the play dabbing his face was the best though...

I really liked that too.

As for the organ, I'll have to go back and watch/listen. Was it a generic organ sound? Knick fans will know.

Glad to see the devs acknowledging the sliding as well. I haven't seen it on the boards firsthand, but I'll take your word on it. Hopefully they can improve on it next year. The foot planting is what separated Live last year when moving your player around.

Does anyone else get bothered by the animations after a shot is made and the body is moving in fast forward kind of? Kind of like they're running back on defense fast and then slow down awkwardly. Wish that animation was more seamless, bothers me quite a bit.

I will love this game! I love the amount of control we now have over passing and shooting.
