(I am really afraid that is indeed the case, which stinks b/c aside from that issue, I am feelin the Live 08 demo)...

Please help...

Brief history on my NBA Live/ 2K gaming experience if any1 cares:

My history: I was a Live guy be4 2K came out, then I was a 2K guy, but hate it for how arcadish it has become (waaaay to EZ to dunk in 2K6 and 2K7 on 360, but I have found Live to be unplayable in 2K6 and 2K7 so I had no choice...but anyway...)

But I do like 2K's dribbling system- I feel like when I use the left analog stick in 2K, that I do have complete control...I wish I felt the same way about Live's system

co-sign. Game is pretty hot but the quickstrike licks nuts.

I'm having the same experience. What compounds my annoyance with the entire scheme is everything seems to be animation dependent. If the defender goes for the steal while I crossover, you get the same animation over and over. Same thing happens if they D-up and I spin.

As much as I've seen EA tout the game as being able to "break out of animations" much like Madden, I haven't experienced it outside of dribbling the ball with the defender nowhere in site. What happens in the game seems to be dependent to what I do... and then, once an animation kicks in, you're stuck. The steal animation... the others I've mentioned.

The system works well until those animations kick in. Of course, it's playable and I can play "within the limitations of the game." I just wish it wasn't the case.

thanks to stephensonmc's post

this demo is really growing on me and as much as I appreciate what 2k does and how it is Inside Drive on steroids, this game is nice for a change of pace. I think I will be purchasing it. I hope a few things get refined in the animation dept and wish the passing lanes were defended better (there is no passing D at all compared to 2k)

On O, this quickstrike looks like it has potential and I like it much better than Freemotion.

Thanks for the diagram, now can you draw EA Sports a diagram to give them directions on how to make their game better? Right now it's a change from what 2K is offering but it still doesn't play lke real b-ball. I think they're on the right track though.

If this is for the 360 I understand, it is hard as heck to pull moves you want, luckly I have a PS3 and on that demo it is ALOT easier to pull them off.
