Man, I'm loving this. mad can't get a full game in lol.

Bynum just got an illegal screen on me, thought that was pretty cool.

Like how you can take the crowd right out of the game.

Also, Shard is nice on here.

Da Czar was right... Live IS back!

Impressions... I think they just set a new standard in bball gaming.

So smooth, such control.

My first wow moment was and Kobe/Pau screen... finished off with "a gorgeous move... by Kobe Bryant."

...and when Marv says "a gorgeous move" he's tellin' the truth.

...and to think the demo isn't even the finished product.

I an unashamedly in love with this game...

Ahh... Ladies and gentlemen! I think LIVE is back.

I got up an hour early so I could at least DL the demo. While I got dressed for work I started reading impressions on my iPhone. I started getting so overly excited that I had to call in and say I was going to be an hour late.

Anyway, The graphics are amazing. The player faces are spot on and the into the hanger was great. Seeing LJames, arms raised high like "I'm hear" let's get it started is great.

Getting used to all the players in there can take up most of your time. There is a learning curve to this years game. It's not 09 by any means. Which is a good thing and bad thing.

It's only a bad thing because I'm so used to playing Live 09 and the controls and player movement is very different. But, different in a good more realistic way. Shooting is amazing. Being able to hold and then release or a quick pop is really done well.

Driving hard to the paint and pulling up felt so natural it was very impressive. I've seen a couple post were guys are having a hard time pulling up in the paint without doing a lay up. I haven't had any issues with it, just let off the L stick before pushing the X button to shoot. It works for me.

The difference between each player is so amazingly done it's sick. LJames feels more heavy and his moves are more drawn out. Whereas Kobe is quick and silkly smooth.

I haven't gotten out of the hanger to actually play a game so I can't comment on that. I had to go into work and forgot to pick up dry cleaning so I've ruined part of my day to play a demo of a video game.

You wouldn't tell that I'm 34 and getting ready to be married can you? Haha... I love being a grown up...

Man, this demo is off the hook. I am just having so much fun in the Hangar. Then, when I get to the real game.... it BLOWS me away. Wow, this is definitely looking waaayy better than the previous versions, and it plays so "smooth".

Also, I don't know about y'all but... I'm lovin' that organ. I visited the Staples center for the first time back in April and hearing that was so reminiscent. Sounds so authentic and sweet and I'm not even a Laker fan lol.

It is the finished product, all demos usually are the finished product minus a few tweaks, sorry had to comment on this, people make the same comment every year.

I dont know about them setting a new standard though, i think they definitely set a new standard in Nba live next gen bball but not bball gaming in general. I already put in my preorder for nba 2k but i might purchase live also, i'll probably rent it before i buy it just to be sure.

I agree on the organ, i think its definitely something most bball games lack. Its such a small thing but it brings autenticity. I just wish Marv was better in his announcing delivery.
