    To those who do not like the demo

    what exactly do you not like about it?

    IMO, this is the most fun b-ball game i've ever played and its only 2, 2 min qtrs. And i played the hell out of 2k7. Do you not like it cuz it's EA? I'm trying to understand why there is still negativity towards this title.

    I have never had more fun playing a demo. Cannot wait till this game drops. I'm sure 2k8 will be decent too but wow Live is just blowing me away right now.

    2k will be more than decent. It will blow live out of the water. (Live should be an excellent game though, as far as im concerned.)

          It doesn't play like 2K so it will take a while to get used to Live again.

            The player control isn't as tight as 2k's.

              ^ Its definitely better than 2k's you just have to make the adjustment.

                What I don't like, Ummm;

                -Sorry In advance.

                + I scored a Full Court Buzzer Beater w/ Boobie - No excitement whatsoever - neither from the crowd, nor from the commentating crew.

                + The net physics are just terrible - When the ball goes in -It all Looks like Slow-Motion, and Sometimes the ball "tears" the net and somehow gets out.

                + The player models are just unrealistic. Something about the legs, maybe even the Jerseys that look "inflated" on the back - They just look robotic.

                + Everytime a player is sent to the free-throw line - There's that stupid Cut-Scene where the players are walking exactly to the opposite side of the basket.

                + The passes are weird- Sometimes the ball will go next to the opposing player, he looks at it, but doesn't intercept.

                + The Animations are very un-natural in general - Things like basic passes, dunks, or lay-ups, just look weird. Weird- that's the word.

                + The same freaking "Steal" Animation is there- When you go at a player - Trying to steal - You either get the steal, or you get that "Going behind the Back" not stealing animation.

                That's just the tip of the iceberg. This game is just Weird to me, really. If EA think they got a good product this year, sorry.
                You won't always be the best shooter. You won't always be the best rebounder, or defender, either. What you can always do the best though, is play hard. Once you do that, Everything else will take care of itself.

                  That's a matter of opinion because you can say the same thing about the player models in 2K. I guess both companies need to improve in this area as far as I'm concerned.

                  Mess with the sliders and they'll intercept the ball more.

                  I think it's good game this year. It has some issues but it's far from being sorry.

                    Passing is terrible, rebounding still bad, way too easy to get to the pain by wiggling the right stick, ball physics way off. Still graphics (well, just lighting, color choices, and textures actually) looks awesome, animated not so much.

                    Unfortunately it doesn't even come close to 2K7, but I guess its hard to come close to the best basketball game ever made. But Live 08 I guess is a step in the right direction.

                    Don't hate EA, but they have a long ways to go. But then again, I love playing real basketball and am looking for a more realistic feel in the games I play. Will definitely rent Live 08 though.

                      Live 08 is just ok. The demo, though just a demo, shows me that the game is just not that smooth at all still. A lot of the awkward animations take away from the game as well. Dunks and alley-oops are just horrible in most cases. I really don't know how that can develop, play, and look at this game and see that it's just not fluid. The control is not great either. Just hoping that the final version of the game is a lot better.

                        ^^^^^^^^

                        i agree with the above poster. the players move like robots and all have a slightly hunched posture. the commentary is outstanding and the next gen presentation is top notch, but it just doesn't have the ebb and flow fluidity that real basketball has. i too wonder how they can make a game, see it play on screen day in and day out and feel like it is a fair representation of the game of basketball. it doesn't look much like an NBA game to me.

                          To me the dribbles are nice, presentation is great, graphic textures are great BUT:

                          Players are so robotic and cartoonist with thin little legs
                          They move like robots
                          The ball physics is horrible, crazy lob passes that are about 5 feet away
                          The rim/net is horrible, the sound the movement etc
                          Players animations/physics are bad, twitching when pump faking, dunking in less then a second

                          Overall the gameplay still feels horrible and Gameplay is how I judge a game.
                          NO! I will not change this until Lakers get to Western Conference Finals!!! Friday, Oct 13, 2006 (It is raining hard) 8:14pm 30sec (Check)

                            Clearly that is not the case based on the demo of 2k8

                              The passing just doesnt feel right and the CPU's offense doesnt feel authenic its kinda hard to explain... its like Spurs offense doesnt feel that different than the Cavs offense.
