From what I've seen the Live sig shots are pretty far off still and they look herky jerky. Ray Allens shot looks the weirdest.

Yeah, with my new internet service it took 30 minutes. With my old one it would take 30 days.

This game/demo is pretty solid. Much better than I anticipated. I'll be playing it more and more. I don't know if it will sway me away from 2K9, but it's making me think a little bit.

I only buy one NBA game (at most) a year, so it's one or the other with me. I like what I see so far with this one though.

Played a few games during the SC halftime, this game is way differant from 2K9. It's pretty solid, but im just not sure to the gameplay.

# 768 DTX3 @ 09/26/08 12:36 AM
Is that a trick question?



No.

I think he asked because on the 360 you can do that. Maybe he just converted to the PS3.

You could turn off your 360 and it will still download demo's? how is that even possible?

Correct. I can't remember what it's called but you can turn it on in the dashboard settings.

D/Ld the PS3 demo last night.

Compared to the 360 demo, it looks a tad bit better. A little bit more crisp (not sure if it's just my settings).

Sluggishness on block shot attempts is there on both the 360 and PS3.

But overall, it feels and looks better on the PS3 to me. I dunno.

It's weird. On the 360, when you call a play, you get the yellow indicator over players' heads. On the PS3, seems to be an 'X'. Didn't like that.

Used Lake's sliders.

Yeah, it will show a grayed out 'x' icon over the players' heads who are getting into position. When they are ready to receive the pass, the 'x' will turn into blue. I didn't notice the color changing the first time I tried it out.

The first thing I notice is...Freestyle must have been totally redone? I haven't played a live since 2005 or something, and back then it did pretty much exactly what you did, as cheese as it might of been. But now when I flick the right stick, they do nothing?


Also, why must I watch Live 265 every time.


I don't really like the way this game moves, but I do like how it almost forces you to play the way the actual players play or you'll miss the shot.

Dude its been there for like 2 years it called background downloads. Enable it and u can turn off ur system and it will finish ur downloads. You still hear the system on, but it will be in a low powermangement mode and there will be a yellow light that blinks every 30 secs to let you know your still downloading. The system will shutoff completely when its done.

Yeah, the Wii has a similar thing.

Red = completely off
Green = on
Yellow = off, but available to receive updates/DL's

Yeah the feature is called background downloads.

You can turn off your 360 and as long as it stays connected to the internet it will continue downloading it.

You'll know its finished downloading when the power button stops flashing.

Its a pretty cool feature for those that don't like leaving their 360 on all night. Or if you're trying to download something and you know you aren't going to be playing your 360 for a while.
