Man if people are enjoying the game, that's just what it is. Theres nothing to really understand...everyone has their own preference. Hopefully after this initial week the majority of posts won't read like a "what I don't like about 2k" monologue and we can start to really dig into LIVE and get some feedback though, lol

This is irony at its finest though

I love how the CPU will set screens for you without even having to call them on your own. I'm trying out CP3, and the first possession Jordan came and set a screen for me. Next time down, Griffin did. Just awesome.

I know where you're coming from, Live definitely lacks the animations and player uniqueness that 2k has. But, for me and maybe others that doesn't exactly make a game more realistic. Was 2k not realistic prior to them implementing signature styles and a load of animations? 2k was a very authentic product well before those things were implemented, so there's a lot more to it than just that. Unfortunately though I think 2k has favored arcade over sim lately, but that's just my opinion.

While 2k nails the things you mentioned, they fall short in other areas that hurts the authenticity of the game. For instance, 3 point shots are far too easy, contested shots (if you do something fancy on the stick) also fall too often, and the mid-range spot-up game in 2k isn't anywhere near as realistic as it is in Live. Oh and 2k doesn't work, so there's that as well.

Personally I'll take substance over the flash that 2k offers. It looks more realistic, but it's not a better representation of the core game.

Also when reading some of these negative reviews from new members, just keep in mind that disinformation campaigns are practiced outside of politics. I know for a fact it happens in gaming.

I'm really impressed at how well Automotion works this year, not only for the CPU, but for the user controlled teams as well.

I'm getting hooked.
