Live does seem to have the better basketball AI, but watching those 2K and EA clips one after the other it just reinforces to me how horrible Live is in motion. Fix the robotic animations and flow of the game, and maybe it will be worth a look this year for me. Already looking forward to another Czar video!

That vid right here pretty much explained 90% of the problems I have with 2k9. The help defense is always awful so I rarely call for the dbl team. One animation he could have shown to show how poor the movement is in 2k9 at times is on a fast break when you pass it to someone they kinda kick their legs out to the left and slow down allowing the other team to catch up or the player may even step out of bounds.

Great vid Czar. Hopefully next year both games can step it up.

Gold again, from the King himself. Great job, Czar. I agree on all points. 2k's lack of help defense hurts the D and the O. Hopefully they are paying attention. People are on notice about Live right now. Could be the first year I buy two bball games at launch.

Great video! If the makers of both games watched all the videos that you make & actually listened we'd have two great games.

Now if live can smooth out the animations and make it look human like and not like terminator playing ball I'll buy it.
