I ain't defending this ****

I'm just pointing out that Tim Hardaway had as close to a signature dribble as possible (in terms of being a go to move).

I think it was called Live 365 ?? It updated everyday.

I totally agree and this is what EA loves. EA lies to their fans about pushing for a sim game. They even went on record saying NBA LIVE will be more sim than 2K. I knew this was a joke because EA is scared to put sim anything out.

Lol, I love how people like to call one game sim and the other arcade when neither are close to sim, unless sim means lot's clunky animations and accurate tatt's.

So Live really believes they can compete with 2K, that's cute.

Players do have dribbling tendencies and differences. If they can replicate that great. A center doesn't crossover like a guard does.

Dribbling is very important and the meat of a basketball game along with. We are hearing about because the system is apparently improved from live 10. And once again nothing has been released in years so they have to start somewhere.

At the same time though they've been regurgitating the same stuff from older games... Im not knocking them, but how many times do we need to hear: new dribbling, synergy, update daily. While nice, those weren't issues.
The meat of their issues has been gameplay, animation, and that's across multiple games(Live/Madden). I guess the ignite engine will try to fix across games.

The homers in this thread, don't ever point that out though. That's why the Live series has been stagnant. Homers don't speak up, and when the disgruntled do, the homers say its complaining, etc.

I will def check out the Live demo, already paid off 6 copies of the other game(3cg/3ng). Hopefully 1 day Live will get my business again...

I'll be buying both NBA games, I think it will be an NBA Live 10/ NBA 2k10 situation, where both games have great and horrible aspects.
