So in other words, stop trying to force the drive if the defender is in front of you. Especially if he has a body one you. Play smart protect the ball and you will see less turnovers. 1 more thing, For passes along the perimeter that keep getting stolen. I found it best to control the other player and get some separation from the defender before passing him the rock. This works mainly if you picked up your dribble and/or are stuck in the corner. Yeah, just a couple things I thought I would share with you all. Hope this helps anyone having trouble with offense.

Great point Raydog... trying to force your way to the rack WILL NOT WORK.I think some people just expect it to happen and get all mad when they can't have a highlight fest. Play real basketball and you will have a blast with this demo

Posting up was clicking the RS in years past...why change it?

I thought the RB in Live 10 was to call a quick play.

I'm in favor of clicking the RS.

Maybe start a poll.

I'm with you on this one. If it has to be done, I would want it to be the right stick.

I'm seeing ALOT of things in this demo, that just brings a smile to my face man.

Although everything does not playout perfectly 'animation wise' I still see basketball IQ that I have never experienced in other bball games.

The authenic playsets, the spacing, the help D, and the atmosphere just screams the NBA game IMO.

I have never felt this challlenged guarding a CPU controlled Kobe in any videogame before, from strictly a fundamental standpoint.

If he is hitting his J, you are completely helpless defending him. I had a game last night where he ran off like 11 straight points on me, all on jumpers and 2 of them 3 pointers.

Even with the issues with the demo ie; sliding is back in the Live series, cpu not intiating the offense correctly at times, lack of tighter defensive controls/options, some strange animations that do not fit the action etc....I'm REALLY trying to temper my excitement for the game after getting a taste of the AI, and it's been very difficult trying to do so.

Well imma call a spade a spade and to be honest I had high hopes for this live after reading and seeing all the info on it. I haven't play a Live game since Melo was on the cover after that all 2k and after playing this demo it will remain all 2k Live still sucks the players look horrible (just look at Kobe he looks like he did a fusion with Derek Fisher) and all these Albino Superstars in the Hanger you can't think that looks good and the gameplay still ********. Live has lost it and they should just let 2k get the exclusive rights to the NBA.

how do you do that ? Is it something you can control as well ? it'd be sick to try and pull off in a game.. (though with the NBA Live 'D' that'd be a sure turnover !)

each to his own i.. but is it so difficult to say you're not feeling NBA Live and leave it at that..? All you've managed to do is sound like one of the million 2k fanboys that have erupted since the Live demo came out..

..oh wait - you are. My bad.
