Fast forward to 78:00 minutes to see Live.

The practice gym looks great and its cool that you teammates will be shooting around with you while your in it.

I also like the shot timing indicator it seems pretty easy to understand. Just hold the button until the bar is completely filled. Much easier to understand then the one that is in 2K8.

Dunks and layups have definitely improved they look a lot more lifelike.

Looks like if you don't know what you're doing when pressuring the ball you'll get burned off the dribble.

The heck with the gym, did you see how the game went to the court, and the movement during the gameplay...just nice.

Guys, my sound card on my comp is acting crazy. Can anybody comment on how the commentary and stadium sounds were ?(if there were any)

One part of the vid I liked was when Wade was iso'd against Sczerbiak (i think). Seemed like Wally guessed right and sort of stopped Wade, but he looked like he was holding on for dear life and Wade still got into the paint and was able to make a little baby hook shot. The animations and the collision there just seemed right.

You can't hear the commentary because of the guy who's being interviewed.

I don't know how many times I've said this but I can't wait play this game myself. I really hate watching vids where the player doesn't run any plays makes the game seem more chaotic than it really is.

I can already see from this video I'm going to have a lot of fun just running plays and trying to find out all the different options in each play. It also seems like running plays will make scoring the ball easier, where as last year you could have the same amount of success scoring by freestyling as you did running plays.

Game looks great and looks like it plays great but there's still way too many dunks and super CPU PG's

Practice gym looks nice. Makes it seem so much more alive with teammates there practicing

Who says Live doesn't have nice net animation, check out Boobie's first shot after tip-off. SWISH!

Don't worry about super PG, the guy was playing Boobie is really bad...If you play this game right, you'll have tons of fun based on what I saw so far.

I agree, they need run plays! Or release the demo early so we can do it ourselves... lol
