O shot I saw somebody's demo vid on youtube and saw the sports center top ten nominee i taught they edited the video and did it themselves, but now that I know its actually in the game thats crazy. Let me find out the guys at EA canada are still keeping sercets.

I gotta get used to the directions being absolute and not relative to where u are on the court. I'm having a hard time wit quickstrike and trying to defend it.

WAIT Are you sure about that? Is there really a sportscenter kind of thing in the game?

Yes, I've gotten that SportsCenter Top 10 splash screen also when I threw an alley-oop to KG. It definitely seems like there will be some actual ESPN intergration presentation-wise as opposed to just letting us watch video clips, etc. like they've been doing since they got ESPN exclusivity. A weekly (or daily) Top 10 and a SportCenter-style wrap-up would be great and would add a ton to the overall presentation and feeling of accomplishment in games.

That is wierd EA is usually a beast when it comes to marketing and releasing as much info about the game as possible. I haven't read or heard about it anywhere.

Don't get me wrong, I have wanted this feature to be added since nba live 03. It will an overall plus to Nba live if this is added.

If it is added I am definitely going to buy this game.

Re: NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here (Xbox 360)

a couple thoughts

- This game has to have the worst directional passing system i've ever used. I don't get it, this is year, what, 10 of games being in 3d? Nba In The zone 98 on psone had better passing. ugh.

- I'm hating the postgame. On offense its sucessful enough, but the amount of available moves appears low. On defense it seems like you can't guard them at all, or even contest any jumper coming from a backdown situation. I know the functionality is in there because one time using Odom I was able to push KG from the edge of the paint to nearly the 3point line when he tried to post up. That type of interaction between defender and ballhandler has been rare though.

- Piggybacking off the post game, fighting for post position is great, feels much better than what was in 2k8. Not so much for boxing out.

-I have to say, its alot more fun playing as Kobe than in 2k8. Surprising to me since the sig styles in that game are much more fleshed out than whats in Live 09, so right now i'm thinking might just be that the sig jumper is that much better.
