I haven't played NBA Live since '06, and I saw this game and decided to try it. I am really enjoying it. I think the CPU plays realistically, and the controls and graphics are good. It keeps me immersed in the game as a whole. I read a little of this thread and see that people prefer the 2K series for NBA. Why is that? I haven't played that; I'm an EA guy through and through.

2. It has been the better product over an extended period
3. Its the "familiar" option after playing without another basketball option for the last few years.
4. Faithful supporters who don't care to try another option for any reason
5. Bad initial reviews of LIVE at launch

OR because people whether they are "hardcore" or "******" just enjoy playing it...just like people like playing this game...
People are playing the game because they like it. People are playing 2k because they like it. Just like 24th said, some "hardcore guys" like this game. Some "hardcore guys" like 2k. Same for "******" fans. It all boils down to which game guys prefer. What you're willing to overlook. What you're looking for.

I stopped playing for about 3-4 days and forgot everything. getting hammered again 
I gotta try another camera angle. the side angle just doesn't work for me in hoops games.

FINALLY! I beat the Nets..54-45 with my Knicks..all star difficulty 5 min qtrs.
The star of the gm was...Barg10 Pts, 5 boards, 4 blocks..Melo with 14.
Found some nice plays that I hadn't used much to get Melo or Barg a 15-20 foot jumper off of screens when either is at PF. Melo is really nice in the post as well, an pretty much unguardable in the high post. He can back down, size up and shoot, or just take any 4 off the dribble. When he got hot, the cpu ran doubles at him and forced me to give up the ball.
I recorded the game so I'll post it later with impressions commentary. The game is certainly a bit rough around the edges in phases, yet it still has something about it that makes it weirdly re-playable.
It's the damndest thing really. Now imagine if EA could get out of their own way

Do the global coaching adjustments override your individual strategy settings?
I assign how I want each player to be defended, on ball, off ball, screens, etc. Sometimes I'll get heavy thumbs when switching defenses, and click on something like "Pack The Paint" and then next time out I find all of the settings I set pre game changed

Played a game this morning in preparation of the patch...Blazers (me) vs. Pacers
It was pretty much a microcosm of what I like and dislike about the game...ended up winning 104-101..
Game flowed great as usual, both teams moving the ball around...Aldridge and Lillard dominated early went in to half time up 7...I can't wait to see the "first step" and pass catching implementation...it will probably make rotations even more sharper than they all ready are!
2nd half was just ugh...
I am not exaggerating when I said they went to the post 15 times in a row...during a stretch in the 3rd...and they were just highly unproductive possessions...spinning out of bounds, ball being shot behind goal...West had 9 turnovers going into the 4th, Hibbert had 8...this carried over to the 4th, but then they started converting these possessions....through double and triple teams..
To top this off, down 3 with 15 seconds left, PG gets the ball, dribbles the clock down to about 5 and shoots a 2 that misses..smh
Too ready for this update!!

Alright I passed my NBA LIVE 14 Final Exam..Knicks 42, Heat 39. 
Got some luck and had to hold off the CPU 4th Qtr Cheese Fest, but I had my best game on both ends of the court control wise. Held Lebron and Wade out of the pain with manual hedging toward Chandler and forcing them to take Js. I just wish the game had more of an animation set and was more user control friendly, because when it flows, and the control inputs respond, you see some beautiful stuff.
The train wrecks in between those moments, understandably sours people. It creates eye sores and AI spazz outs when the CPU has to do something but there isn't an animation for it resulting in ugly sequences as well as needlessly frustrating moments when you are just trying to do simple things.
My favorite part of this game so far is the variability. Ive played Brooklyn, Denver, Cleveland, Heat, Boston..and each team defended and attacked me differently. Its neat to see.

Customizable Camera Angles would be a nice thing. Baseline low would be perfect it I could just elevate it to see the baseline angles. Game pretty much forces you to play default camera to see the court

Curious how people play defense vs the CPU?
Onballing them full time is impossible. They'll cheat you when they have to score I basically play a mix of coaching settings/defensive matchups, with help defense, manual boxing out and mix in some situational onball, like in the post or when the shot clock is winding down to try to get a user contest

It does, that's why I was asking. I don't have an issue sticking guys now. If he uses it quite a bit, chances are that's one piece of the equation.

I use it kind of like how I used the 'Aggressive' Modifier in 'The Other Game' a few years ago. Mainly when I want to give a bit of body contact

i dont really have too much of an issue playing on-ball defense. my biggest gripe is still how often the cpu goes to the post. im holding teams to 40-50% from the field but im still giving up well over half of my points in the paint. i havent downloaded the new update yet so maybe that will change but thats the only thing that stops me from playing more than two games at a time.
