    Anybody else notice this on there demo....

    On my demo when I play the nba rewind game for some reason they have Bynum and turiaf startimg. Gasol isnt even on the roster. Kinda strange to me.

    But with that said this game is simply amazing. So great I probably wont do much online play (And online is pretty much where I spend most of my time on sports games). Every, and when I say Every I mean Every single game I play, plays out differently. And I really notice it when I go from a play now game to a rewind game. I believe this feature only is where this game is gonna shine. From fisher faking like hes gonna double Garnett in the post to Kobe taking fadeaways in the post and driving. I mean it really does feel like there playing as if they would in real life. Even the substitions were spot on like they were in that final playoff game (With the exception og Gasol being missing of course).

    Ive seen so amazing animations so far. And the dunks are not over done ( they actually wrap there fingers around the rim when they dunk). For everyone saying that they havent seen any of those moves that were in the recent trailer that was posted in the demo. Well I do believe alot of those moves were signature based. For example, try driving to the basket with Ray Allen and you will see up and under layups that he usually does. If drive with anyone else like Rondo or Pierce for example youll see a different style.

    Another thing I like is that you cant just murder the steal button. You have to time it just as you would in real life. Time it wrong and the defender can drive right by you or youll get called for the reach in. This is huge for people that like to rapid fire the steal button in basketball games. I forgot to mention the doube teaming, this is done really well. Youll see hard double teaming and soft ones.

    Its so much more I can say about what Ive been seeing so far in this game. I havent been able to stop playing Im enjoying it so much. But if anyone can tell me a cheap and easy way to record your games Ill upload a couple games so you can see what Im talking about.

    The NBA Rewind game from November is supposed to not have Gasol on the team... That's one of the points of the Rewind feature is going back to the rosters of that particular date...

          Yeah, was just about to post that. It got me on the first game I played because it's kind of sneaky if you don't go out and look for it. You can cycle through the dates with the RB and LB buttons at either the Team Select screen or Jersey select screen. Think it's the former though, but it should be at the top.

            I think it cheapens the rewind feature that you're limited to the guys who got burn in that game. The whole plug is that you can replay the game, but if you thought someone shouldve been benched or someone shouldve gotten some run then you're SOL.

              Hah, no... the point is that the players WHO WERE NOT ON THE TEAM (i.e. Gasol, or Bynum when he was injured in the Finals) are not able to be used. If Luke Walton wasn't getting any playing time, you can still put him in... I think you misunderstood the feature.

                To piggyback on bls's post about steals... Since i haven't played the demo and im sure its the same, I love the stealing mechanics in Live than any other game.

                The reason being is the timing that has to be accurate and you actually lunge for the ball as you really would rather than just swipe with your hand from a stand still position.

                Its much better and adds more strategy because your gambling can easily make you overplay the offense and you open the door for the ballhandler to drive to the bucket or make a play.

                  It's a little slow this year from my experience with the demo dre. Like if you press the steal button during 1 of the canimations, the steal lunge animation will play directly after that canimation is through leaving you really out of position. It's really a gamble this year. Stealing seems kinda random this year from my experience with the demo.

                    I agree, live makes you pay when you play agressive d. But one thing i dont like about the d in the demo is when you get engaged and start jostling with a perimeter player, it seems you have very little control. It just seems when you are engaged you cant disengage from the animations. You also seems to get beat every time when you jostle with the player, like you'll ride the player a little bit then an animation will start where he fights to get by you and swishes the top of the key jumper. Because of this i've really tried to scale back from using the defensive assist.

                      Haha, alrighty.

                      Just like what my dude KDRE said, Live's stealing has always been better. The look of it, and the feeling once u get the steal, satisfied...

                        This game is nothing short than amazing and fun to me. If you haven't played the rewind game of 6/08 you should do so now. It's very close to what was going on in those playoff games. There not even checking Rondo on some plays, Fisher is doubling down on Pierce and Garnett lol.

                        And I just saw something else that was amazing. I went up for a shot and missed and the Lakers got the rebound with about 7 secs left. Fisher hurried up and got it across the half court line with like 3.5 sec left and called a time out to run a play before half time. Im thinking were in for a treat with both b-ball games this year.

                            Sounds pretty sweet. Hopefully tomorrow, Ill have my shot with the demo. Cant wait to try this game.

                              Just saw a sick play by the CPU with Kobe. Kobe came around from the left side basline went around a screen to the free throw line they passed him the ball in stride he went up with a fade away shot, Allen got his hand on the ball but fouled him as Kobe fall back on to the ground....And 1!!!!!! I'm done!
