Live is looking better and better. That screenshot of Vince looked more like Young Jeezy though and some work needs to be done on that T-mac also. From a gameplay standpoint though it looks much better.

Live is showing some real potential this year. It definitely looks like a game I can play alongside of 2k9. Loving the playcalling

I miss Live 06s look minus the chicken legs lol..but I still feel that the overall look of the arenas and players are the best in basketball titles

^^That looks incredible.

But from what I understand, it played like horse ****.

That's when they tried the whole "foot-planting" mechanics and everyone ran around like robots.

09 looks like the animations made a vast improvement although some of the jumpers still look a bit herky jerky.

Live played like crap without playmakers sliders in 06 Even then i only could stomach it for a few months being stripped down and limited.

which is why 07 was a huge turd in every way.

08 is okay but some of the issues in the game like rebounding after all of this time is inexcusable.

I think 09 will be solid but this current team will probably put alot of good work into it for next year, or hopefully they do because im certain the competition will be stiff this year.

Im just glad i can buy 2 bball games to enjoy again
