Whew!! There's some sweet animations in this game.
I just ran a baseline pick and roll with Pierce and KG and when KG took the jumper, Odom hit him. He fell to the ground and the shot went in. It was so realistic looking. I'm liking the animations when you get hit while shooting.
And yeah Dak, I saw a couple games ago Pau take a flop in the post. I was like What? because I didn't even back down that hard.
One thing that I don't like (forgot to mention) are the jumpballs. The angle is so weird. I haven't won one jumpball yet.
Stiffness on human block shot attempts are definately in the game unfortunately.

Read through the thread, nobody knows when the PSN version will come out.

It's decent. Definitely Live's best effort to date. They still have to work on the passing, and the sluggish response has been well documented, but it's not a bad game. I'd have to see the final before giving it a grade, but it's alright.
Is there a triple threat in this game?

*Face up (regular triple threat stance)* (this is the one that I'm mostly wondering about)
Tap up on RS to turn your back to your man
Move RS left or right to shoulder fake then explode when you move LS towards hoop
You can explode out of that move and it's basically my favorite part of Live 08 because it looks so damn nice. Is that still in there? Those shoulder fakes were glorious with KG on the elbow, even in Live 08...
If you just want to keep playing without going into the gym just do a quit--restart before the game ends and it takes youi right back to the tip.

Technically it's not "Up" but "away" from the hoop you hold the RS.

Couple quick hits:
Positives:
- Player models, look great, still would like to see a better distinction between bulky and slim players. Everyone looks skinny to me.
- The Presentation is really welly done. From the crowd noise to the commentary.
- The Lock down D looks great. It's fun guessing which way the A.I is gonna turn off your contatct. Actually the contact animations while dribbling in general are very well done. S
Negatives:
- KDRE, IMO there DOES NOT seem to be a clear indication of when the ball should be released on a jumper. Whether you let go of the shot button early or late it's the same release.
- Dissapointed in the lack of ball-net interaction. It's either a swish or a clank. Not much variation
- Although the animations have improved, they're still jurky and somewhat stiff. Simple things like accellerating past midcourt does not look fluid to me. Even when running a fastbreak. I'll pass the ball ahead to the player trailing towards the basket and once he's received the ball the transition animation between catching the ball and dribblig ahead is very robotic.
Overall it's looking good. Hopefully the final build will be much smoother.

Hmm, it's always been tap up on RS for me from the triple threat.. thought that was the whole point of having the RS moves be absolute rather than be basket-relative like 2K's are.
But in any case, thanks for the confirmation -- I love using that little shoulder move and I'm sure it looks even better this year. Agh, stupid work, I hate you so much.

I'm ready to blow this popsicle stand (cubicle) and play some Live 09.
How big is the download? Did it download relatively quick? Some games (NCAA 09) took me forever to DL while others (Madden 09) went quick.
Thanks for all the impressions guys.
