    pending the skill level, at least with those 9 videos (suns vs. sonics) it looks way too easy to score. like score at will. it loks like if theres traffic and youre not a dunker, you can press the dunk button and maybe attempt a crazy layup. i like that

      saw some nice CPU fastbreaks.. they look aggressive and willing to score.. thats good.. saw a nice "runner" jumper animation with ray allen..

      Game looks fun.

        Danny Fortson is too athletic lol, but I like how the collision and contact is working when players go into the paint. The layup animations also look great, it seemed like they took away the ******** up and under from last year and put a real one.

        It seems like defenders still get pushed back by offensive players who are doing layups/dunks, that's something I hate. I'd like that to be collision, that's something that would change a lot in the game, though the collision did look pretty good. Players were being forced to adjust when driving without lanes. Also that Radmonovic dunking on Hunter, and Collison and Fortson dunking on traffic [yes, difficulty]

        The person who was controlling Seattle was using the playmaker a little too much, on simple passes they would use it lol. The difficulty was definately low because shots went in too easily, and it was too easy to steal the ball from the CPU. The game has promise.....

        The movement is still annoying, players are still floating a little, and what I hate the most is the crossover when you don't use freestyle, the one from just moving, it's the quickest crossover I've seen in my life. They do a high crossover and it's so fast

        They need to revamp the whole moving while dribbling...

        The Ray Allen runner was definately nice, and the players look more in proportion to the court. The game could definately be pretty nice with slider adjustments and in the right difficulty. I'd like to see signs of plays being called though.

          Wow. Would you like some fries with that Cheese?

          What in the hell is Playmaker?
          As long as the CPU AI doesn't overdo it, I'm straight. But all those no look, behind the head passes in the halfcourt look lame as hell.

          The runner by Ray Allen was flawlesss. That was incredible motion caputre as his body contorted exactly how it should of as he hung in the air a bit.

          I'll just sit here and watch as the complaints roll in.

          One request though- Steve, if you do happen to post videos yourself nearing release, show some patience in the offense. Those IGN guys do this every year with every game. It's disgusting to watch. If I really didn't know how Live plays and saw those videos, there's no way I'd get it after that nonsense.

          Luke "Freakin" Ridnour morphs into Magic Johnson right in front of our eyes.

            I agree, I don't understand their use of playmaker, that's something you use on the break, or when you drive the lane, of course players can do these passes all the time, but it would just look ******** and stupid if they did.

            I hope someone can actually post videos where they play basketball, and up the difficulty. The game does looks improved though, and it's promising.

              lol. thats playmaker for ya'. You can pull off hard to do passes with ease, in the paint, which gets you two easy buckets. like I said, easy for human controlled player to do anything.

              Maybe theres a slider for passing difficulty which will make people use the regular pass, all the time. Then again, this is the level that people will be playing with ONLINE, with no adjustments.. Its neraly unstoppable to pull off. Just throw some no lookers threading the needle through 4 opponents, for the easy monster dunk.

              Non the less, I dont play online, so if its harder to do on the higher levels, it should be fun. But if they make me restrict how I play, like all games have every dang year, it might be a problem

                      I was unimpressed until I read and watched the shooter info and video. Now that could be nice.

                        Re: Play of the Day and Shooters vid/info

                        Maybe its me, but I cant stomach this kind of game anymore.

                        Those player models are just blah man. There is no way they should've digressed this much since Live 03/04.

                        The silly wrap around pass every single time they have Luke pass the ball is ridiculous.

                        I know I know, it was on easy and all of that. EA needs to go with a new style. This same old minor upgrade has gotten old. I dont want to see Danny Fortson running with the ball on the fast break as fast as Nash is going, and the PG as if he's just showing off.

                        Whatever happened to good ole fundamentals?

                          those wrap around passes might be there and actively present thanks to the user playing. he mightve used the playmaker control.

                            it all depends on the user if you wanna play on rookie and have a dunk fest they allow you to do that but for the real ballers put it on superstar and it will definetly be better this game looks pretty nice

                              OMG! I'm about to agree with KDRE....after all of our bickering....The player models look so rediculous that the gameplay doesn't look appealing..whack passes and cheesy animations...just not impressed by this game.

                              After 2ksports showed their new vidz on Gamespot. No doubt their fundamentals...just look better and alot smoother, not to mention more realistic. And Lives continous sliding across the floor is bad.

                              They should have upgraded this game along time ago....because it looks like 2k6 basketball will do to Live 2006. What 2k5 football did to Madden 2005. And just be a better game....

                              They got everyone with 2 minor upgrades to Madden 06, but no one will be fooled with this minor upgrade to Live 06. Not worth 50 more dollars. or even $40 for that matter.
