One thing I like is the dunk packages. I plug both controllers in in the practice gym and run around with KG and PP. The fanciest dunk PP has is a simple two handed double pump where he hangs on the rim a little bit. KG has a couple of reverses, tomahawks, and windmills, but they don't seem too over the top. I love the fact that Pierce won't be running through the lane throwing down windmills and all that.

Is there any way to move the score ticker. That thing is in the way ALL of the time.

You can't move the ticker, but maybe try playing around with the camera settings.

Finally got the demo..............MUCH better than 08. The controls (even for only a demo) are light years ahead of 08. And I can actually rebound the basketball defensively by getting position and boxing out !!!!!!!!

Beluba........

Will Live 365 also adjust players minutes (or how many minutes) they play a game ??

For example: Take Jamario Moon last season. He was always the starting 3, but as the season progressed he got more and more minutes. Will 365 recognize this and give him more minutes ?? (and obviously the player playing behing him get less minutes)

Or is the rotation strictly based on fatigue and a player getting subbed out when he is tired ?


Thanks

How the heck do you create a UK account or DL from the UK or whatever needs to be done? Is the demo ever going to be on the US servers?

Re: NBA Live 09 Demo Released, Impressions Here 360 & PS3

just create a new log in account. then go to psn network and create a new psn name putting yourself in the UK instead of the USA.

good luck ehh. I think you'll like the demo. this really bodes well for NCAA BB 2009 since live and ncaa bb are the same engines.

Thanks, and that's exactly why I want to DL it - I have no intention of buying Live but I want some type of preview for what we'll see with NCAA09.

Played more of it, and I'm loving the controls. Just need to be expanded upon, and there's a few animations that you can't branch out of.

Something else I noticed, the game clock keeps running after a made basket and the ball is being inbounded, it should stop!

I hope we're allowed to edit existing players fully. Including dunk, dribble, signature jumpshot packages. This would make the game more realistic, never understood why we were restricted in doing so anyways.

A few of the block animations look pretty good, but the majority of them are clunky and the ball ricochets oddly on most of them.

I know a few people have thrown out a percentage of how complete and near final build this demo is, but can a member of EA please give us an accurate percentage. I'm hoping around 80% not the 95% that's been suggested.

Beluba said 95% when the demo came out so its 95%, if it was 80 the game probably would be delayed.

I think it was left on the d-pad.

I hate that you have to click in the right stick to take it off the screen. That just feels awkward to me.
